Troubled Mother Earth

Many of you have had deep connections with nature during T’ai Chi Chih movements. May I share with you one of my recent experiences with Mother Earth. The location is a beautiful Botanical Garden near the ocean in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. We are surrounded by 400 year old lava rock walls, the jasmine, rhododendron and huge wood rose trees fragrant the air. We feel the energy of this ancient and sacred burial place for the Kings family. We move in an old Hawaiian Amphitheater with the full moon in March overhead. A curious little mongoose observes. Silently moving, feeling T’ai Chi Chih, tuning in and …she speaks…”Forgive them, for they know not what they do, I am still here, I am spirit, I am the EARTH, I will just be wearing a different face, I am in transition.”

This information came clearly, it came because of my concern for the land. This beautiful garden had been purchased recently by the Japanese and they are planning to bulldoze it and turn it into tennis courts and condominiums within the year.

My heart is sad as I look at all the land that man in his/her greed transforms in the name of progress.

I am happy to be a peacemaker bringing a touch of peace to the land. As we move in T’ai Chi Chih, let’s remember the opportunity we have to bring harmony and balance out of the static energy that many homo sapiens emit. We have a tremendous obligation as stewards of a troubled earth. This is our earth, our water, our air. It’s the best we have and we better start taking better care of it.

Thank you all for your part in this task. Our reward will be felt and enjoyed by our children and our children’s children. Bless you.
