DEENA METZGER'S BLOG
This is just a note to you: There are five posts on my parallel blog: To Consider 2012 http://toconsider2012.wordpress.com/ Because we are now at Day 102 before 12/21/2012, I want to keep the posts together of my ruminations upon my own attempts to meet this astronomical, astrological, mythic moment. i am aware that writing the Blog, To Consider, intensifies my own commitment. It calls me to be awake.
We are all being called to transform so that there might be a future for our descendants and for all the non-human descendants. The future grand grand grand grandchild of the Elephant Ambassador, for example. That his ancestors survive. That his ancestors not be brought to extinction by the warfare against the innocent on behalf of ivory.
This is not hyperbole. Poachers are using advanced war technology to hunt the elephants. (Just as wolves are being hunted from helicopters in the U.S.)
Stop for a moment. Shape shift. Enter the bodies of these extraordinary beings and now imagine the helicopters and AK-47s coming after you …….
Thus we pray that there be Elephant Ambassador descendants, that they will be living in peace and will have adequate habitats for the herds. That we truly understand that zoos are not habitats nor are research laboratories.
Linda Hogan said, “If there are no animals, there will be no totem animals.”
That we learn co-existence. That we give up making enemies or thinking only of our own welfare. That we change and transform our ways entirely. Now. We have 103 days.
i will be leading a writing workshop in ireland for the next weeks. At Lough Crew, i may be fortunate enough to see the light illuminate the darkness on the Autumn equinox. i will post here or on To Consider 2012 when i return on November 20 – perhaps before. Then we will have a month until 2012. You will only receive notices for posts on To Consider 2012 if you subscribe to it.
This is a critical moment in human history. Let us meet it.
Peace and Blessings,
Deena
