As One We Walk This Earth Together

As on we walk this earth together,

As one we sing to her our song,

As one we love her,

As one we heal her,

Her heart beats with our own as one.

As one we join with her, our Mother,

As one we feel her sacred song,

As one we touch her,

As one we heal her,

Her heart beats with our own as one.

(TREE OF LIFE)

KEYWORD—ACCEPTANCE

TRADITION and TEACHINGS

The Tree of Life is the archetype of all spiritual knowledge. Its representation can be found in many cultures throughout the World. The Great Tree of Peace of the Iroquoian confederacy. The Tree of Ydrasil in Norse Mythology, the Apple tree in the Garden of Eden. In all trees the trunks forms branches and from the branches leaves are formed. We humans are like leaves, we reach certain ripeness, and then the time comes when we have to go back to the spirit world. Our bodies go to the earth, like leaves of the tree. To give life to trees to come after us.

Message from CHA WAKAN.

In me all life is one: There is no separation and no demarcation of “other.” The nuances of vision may vary as may our individual perceptions, as every leaf has a different view of the same picture. But every leaf relies on the same sap to give it life and is nowhere separated. But in each leaf is its own exaltation. I am the bearer of this knowledge, this understanding, this experience of grace; however you may insist on believing you are apart from that which is in you, which surrounds you. The law that is, All will bring you to me, to union and communion.

In this knowing I bless you!

GUIDANCE and REFLECTION.

The Tree of Life reminds us of patience and acceptance as we travel the Wheel of Life on our spiritual path. Open up your heart to all your brothers and sisters and to all creation relinquishing your judgments and expectations (of yourself and others). Allow all our relations to be exactly who they are; and accept who you are. We are all connected, parts of the Tree of life in its thick foliage. Although each leaf has its own individual form and life, all grow from the same source, the same roots: all sway together in the same breezes. The tree grows strong and tall, with each leaf adding its part to the beauty of the whole. We must accept that each of us is only one leaf; by itself, one leaf does not make a tree.

Let us honour the diversity of Spirit and rejoice in our own individual places within the fabric of creation.

AFFIRMATION

I give honour to my place in the scheme of things and acknowledge my

“Right to Be”
