no hope pope

Last year we posted about Dominance vs Reverence - how the Vatican's doctrine of discovery is actually a code of dominion over the conquered and how traditional teachings developed over thousands of years provide a much needed healing alternative for humanity and Mother Earth at this time.

Steven Newcomb's film "The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code" tells the story of how little known Vatican documents of the fifteenth century resulted in a tragic global momentum of domination and dehumanization. This led to law systems in the U.S. and Canada, and throughout the world, that are still used against Indigenous Nations and Peoples to this day.

The pope's recent visit to Canada has managed to rub even more salt on this open wound. The mixed bag of reactions to his inadequate apology has people divided. What we all see is an ailing old white man doing his best to clear his conscience without crucifying his church.

Sadly, it is not enough. What a public disaster. All the world's hope hang out to dry - like the sordid laundry that it is.

House of the Crab

As we move from Cancer into Leo, I wish to acknowledge the advent of another bountiful year in the life cycle of this lune child and crab character. Retreats are my preferred choice for celebrating the occasion.

Here are some birthday photos to go with some words of wisdom from my We'Moon journal. 

the good, the bad & the ugly

This crazy world we live in - where a very select few have taken it upon themselves to lord it over the rest - has only gotten meaner and uglier with time. 

On the world stage the media overload covers the latest US fiascos most prevalent in our collective consciousness - further dividing an already fraught [dis] United States of America.

The supreme court decision to overturn Roe versus Wade has us all back in the streets protesting how this sets us all back. 

The January 6 hearings have us questioning [1] why this is only coming to light now, [2] why all these witnesses and now speaking up when they never did before, and [3] what is the purpose of this huge extravaganza?

Are these government institutions doing their job? Are they serving the people? What is their true purpose and agenda? 

It is abundantly clear that they have all failed us and we no longer trust them. Our government has grown inept and useless. So now what? 

this land of ours

Since 2016 my faith in this [un]United States of America has sorely been dwindling - however much I try to remain hopeful. As the world crumbles around us - the petty grievances we manage to turn into raging divides - are all the more heart rending.

As our constitution is turned against us [we, the people] to be misappropriated and willfully misinterpreted by the select few - trust is being whittled away while we are brought to our knees. Whether in prayer or burdened beyond breaking point - this is what matters most now.
