A Great Urgency: To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders

My Relatives,

Peace Chief Arvol Looking Horse

Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth.

As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc¹I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Onipikte (that we shall live),

Fred Astaire’s movie Kung Fu

This video really has nothing to do with science fiction and fantasy, other than to make you wonder how they pulled off some of the special effects you find many of Astaire’s movies. Everyone knows about the “dancing on the ceiling” trick by now (where they rotated a box in which Fred was dancing like a hamster wheel). But watch the cane closely. It seems to fly up into his hands at several points. And when he joins a chorus line of male dancers, they’re all Fred Astaire himself — even the guys dancing in the opposite direction from Fred.

I just needed a Fred Astaire fix, I guess. But, honestly, I found that video after watching this video by pianist Jim Hession — whose hands danced across the keyboard in such a way as reminded me of Fred.

The song, “Puttin’ on the Ritz”, was written by Irvin Berlin — who also wrote “Blue Skies”. Both songs were popular hits many times, and “Blue Skies” is the song Lt. Commander Data sings at Will Riker and Deanna Troi’s wedding in “Star Trek: Nemesis”.

Completely amazing video

I can’t tell if this was produced by amateurs or professionals, but it’s got to be the most uplifting, inspiring video I’ve ever seen. I love the music but the shots of the kids (and adults) sharing hopeful messages just strike a chord within me. You can feel the positive energy flowing across the world.
