Summer Solstice
8:54 a.m. PT
8:54 a.m. PT
Look to the Light
It seemed we were alone
in the dark night struggle,
abandoned and opposed
by forces unseen.
You know the ending
in your heart of hearts,
you know who saved us,
the strength always present
when we look to the light.
The rhythm of salvation
drums deep in the earth
echoing across the night sky
to the laughter of stars.
We are leaving
a sleep long and troubled.
Thorn hedges dissolve
and the well of life’s water
flows out in a spring.
It is morning
and we are awake.

Action Of Spirit Within The Creative Process
Martin Exeter March 24, 1985
Spirit is constantly and universally in action.
What we have spoken of as the creative process,
which is universally present,
is activated by spirit.
Spirit never ceases to activate the creative process.
Spirit and the creative process are one.
Spirit propagates creative cycles, as needful, within the creative process.
Creative cycles are characterized by tides or pulsations.
These tides and pulsations are made evident in an external sense
through circumstances.
The circumstance of our own physical form reveals these pulsations,
in the heartbeat and breathing mechanism, etc.
The circumstances of our environment bring
evening and morning,
night and day,
winter and summer,
the ebb and flow of the oceans.
Back of all such pulsations are more subtle vibrational tides.
Gravitation and electromagnetism are indications of activity in this vibrational field.
All that is thus taking place is consequent upon the action of spirit.
All derives from spirit.
Without spirit there is, or could be, nothing.

This Place Is Holy
Black Elk Hehaka Sapa
great holy man wicasa waken of the Oglala People
says in prayer
Grandfather, Great Spirit.
You lived first,
and you are older than all need,
older than all prayer.
All things belong to you.
You have set the powers of the four quarters to cross each other.
The good road and the road of difficulties
you have made to cross;
and where they cross
the place is holy
where the good road
and the road of difficulties
cross
is where I stand
and that place is the center of the world
and it is holy
everywhere I stand,
that place is at the Center
the great circle
the great hoop of life
the Sacred Hoop
moves as I move
and a great arc of light across the land
pulsing
breathes into life
the blessed pathways of a Sacred Nation
the Sacred Nation comes into being
where the road of difficulties
known in this body world
and the good road
blend
this place is holy
every time I allow my body world
to come to focus
in the spirit of the good road
the road of difficulties
dissolves
in a consciousness of the holy place,
a consciousness of Creator magnificence
a consciousness of love
this place is holy
receive the ever present opportunity to listen
for the presence of love
perceive
the ever present design of love
and walk in its pathways
these are the ways of life in the earth
learn these ways and respect them
always
this is the command of the Great Spirit
obey
Great Spirit
Day in and day out,
Forever,
You are the life of things
