Gaia, Dreaming the Earth

The first step to changing things is to have a dream.
Muskwa-Ketchika wilderness by Wayne Sawchuck
Every Sunday afternoon a group of us meditate at the yurt to do just that — dream about how we can bring the animals’ voices to humans and find a better way for all of us to live together. We usually have Bluebell the buffalo at the foot of the stairs, MacDougal the Clydesdale and Foffy the mustang running past the window, and Windsong the Elder Wolf inside with us.
Kris spoke into the silence, of a reverie she sometimes has. What would things be like if we lived on another planet where all life was respected; where animals were treated well; trees revered, and people were kind to each other? How would that play out in daily life? We began imagining then what it might it be like on our planet if we built in harmony with the land; if subdivisions were almost invisible. If there was a different way of looking at things. If all life was celebrated and people would WANT to protect all living things instead of having to be convinced to. We would like to develop a full Dream of the Earth.
Would you join us with your ideas, dreams, pieces of dreams, writings you like?
Would you join our meditation circle from afar?

I just saw this on my face book page. What a beautiful idea. I would love to join you – from San Diego:) I’m not sure how I learned about Earth Fire; probably stumbled upon it on a search, but I’m so thankful I have. You are a favorite site of mine for inspiration and, as a writer myself, I deeply enjoy how beautifully you write. Thank you, thank you for how you BLESS the earth and create Light for us all.

How wonderful that we have been thinking/dreaming the same dream. Would such a world would have to be beyond this 3-D world where we need to eat (each other)? I feel it would be luminous and joyous and wonderfully creative. To live where all recognize the intricate connectedness, sacredness of each other–oooh that would feel so good. Or could eating plants and animals be accomplished totally lovingly, without pain somehow in this current 3-D world? I’d love to hear more of other’s visions.

Dear Trish, Mary, Diane and Bennie- any all others who would like to join us…we generally meet at 4 pm at the yurt, talk a bit, then start to meditate, then discuss what came up for us till about 6. We would love to have your energy, thoughts and comments.

Thank you for bringing us ‘humble bumble’ and all of the amazing characters at Earthfire that inspire the connection between: The Space Between,
You are doing a splendid job, likely at times under challenging circumstances to remind us that we areactually all made from the dust of stars from whence we came and will return.
When wolves howl at the time a loved one passes, we know that a magnetic field has been ignited. I know it and believe it.
Aint life grand.
