Above is a Mandala I created to honor the time of the Spring Equinox. As well, I was moved to participate in a Full Moon Ceremony in the mountains where I live. Along with a circle of others present, in a clearing, we chanted and faced each of the Four Directions to invite and connect with our Ancestors. The full, very bright moon shone down on us as the sky became dark. The fire blazed at the center. We released things felt to be no longer useful or beneficial and we sent out Intention for what we now wished to manifest. The tall, thick pine trees cast their outline against the sky on the encircling ridge above.
A wonderful time was had by all. Ho!
The Native American Culture says --
o The Earth is our Mother; Care for Her
o Honor all your Relations
o Open your Heart and Soul to the Great Spirit
o All Life is sacred; Treat all beings with respect
o Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more
o Do what needs to be done for the good of all
o Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for each day
o Speak the Truth but only for the good in others
o Follow the rhythms of Nature
o Enjoy Life's journey but leave no tracks
Meet you here again soon...♥ ♥ ♥
