"Be still and the earth will speak to you." ~ Navajo Wisdom
Headed Home - Carl Moon, [American, 1878-1948]
Our life is intimately interwoven with ancestors of the past, the present and the future. Our ancestors are anyone and anything that contributes to our life.
Aligning with our ancestors leads to healing when we are in alignment and collaborate as allies - even when either of us disagree or lack understanding.
This begins with learning to make peace with all elements of our life and opening up - getting up close and personal with our ancestors to allow healing possibilities to happen.
It's about time we start conversations that explore the centrality of ancestor work to the collective liberation of humanity.
The social, political, cultural and environmental crises of these times calls us to reckon with the legacy of colonization, genocide, slavery and the continued violence against oppressed peoples.
Our healing requires that we transform intergenerational trauma using the wisdom, perseverance and resilience of our most honorable ancestors.
Once we trust that all that we need is here for us healing can begin. Our ancestors need to be recognized, honored, acknowledged and appreciated for their contributions.
Our ancestral blessing is the knowledge that life is here for us - supporting, loving, co-creating with and rooting for us - that's tremendous support available always.
How we relate in our life are how we are in relation with our ancestors. All our relations indeed.
