Her Journey: Our Story

“Mothers of the Continents”

Mothers of the Continents

Crossing timeless lands and now deep waters

Weren’t we all once one?

Ancestors evolve into descendants

Mixing culturally;

Contradicting with irony

Centuries of violence;

Against, in essence, our hindsight selves.

If we could have perceived through generations

Past into what will be, now history;

It would transform all the pointless historic superiority

To embrace all children yet to be

That are our common family.

Nana, Creatrix; Nana, the Powerful

Circle around the World,

Nana,

Birdlike;

Fly to bring justice and knowledge.

So we can have peace,

To heal our grief,

Nana,

You need no weapon

to make the world move.

Circle the children,

and make them whole,

Gently,

Nana.

They are so afraid.

Circle the Peacemakers

and those who will help to resolve,

Help us, Nana

Make us whole so we speak the truth.

Circle all those that connect to

The universal path of red, yellow, white and black

That speaks to the four directions

of divine good.

Your presence is powerful;

Illuminate and destroy evil.

Fly, Nana

Fly with us.

Let your presence inspire.

Let those like-minded bring gifts to each other...

Circle the world Nana,

We need no guns to speak out.

We are honored.

Basket-House-Village-Universe

by Toni Truesdale

Baskets of women

Reflect nourishment

Physical as well as spiritual

Object to concept

Keeping sacred the spirit of everyday life;

Within the home

Utilitarian to universal

Dwelling to village

Community to cosmos

Each human passage

of the last 140 thousand years...

Birth to death

The finite to consummation

End to beginning...

The Healing Power of Nature

“The Healing Power of Nature”

Toni Truesdale

Healing power of nature,

With the presence of the spirit world.

Unravels the hierarchy;

Founded on the cruel,

Destructive, domination of the other.

Original gifts of feminine knowledge is

The legacy of the great mother religions of old

Returning to heal our suffering earth.

Sacred Spaces

Holy Island

Shrine of the Old Ones,

Beacon through the years;

Illuminating the worn pilgrim’s path

To the point of Prayers

That continually resonate Peace.

In the voice of so many, languages, every day.
