Tears For Ina Maka by Tethered Eagle
Words Written By Maureen Bourner
Man you are at the point in your material growth that you understand the extinction of plant life, birds, fish and mammals, disrupts your planets eco system and yet you continue on your path of destruction.
All things on your earthly plain are there for a reason a purpose that should be apparent to you, yet you still kill and destroy for greed. All things are connected and that includes man, you are part of the great cycle of life that you are destroying. Plants and animals are the building blocks of life without them man will cease to exist. The choice is yours.
=====
Thought is what created your earth plain, just as it created all other dimensions that exist.
As you progress through these, as in time you will, you will become aware that this is so. There is a lesson that is coming for the earth plain.
We have tried to prepare mankind for this event, but mankind still destroys that which he needs to survive.
He must soon stop before it becomes too late to turn back.
The proof of this is all around him.
=====
I ran with the wolves I chased the buffalo across the plains. The buffalo gave food and clothes for my people, we gave thanks to the buffalo, we were happy to be part of that great tree of life. We did not know then that things would change, change quicker than the seasons of mother earth, I did not know the suffering that my people would feel, the hurt, the hunger, the loss of our way of life, the suffering of mother earth as she still suffers now.
=====
Each life has its own song, its own melody in times long ago, long forgotten by man, all things were in balance. In balance with the great web of life
Then there came negativity a simple word just simple thoughts, but as each millennia past, these thoughts grew stronger and stronger, so strong that mother earth could no longer hold this energy at bay. So came the wars, the floods and earthquakes and so they have continued as they have for thousands of years, we must ask ourselves do we want these things to continue or do we want a better world for our children and our grand children, if that answer is yes, then please start right now, forget that oh so simple word negativity and replace it with an even simpler one, love.
=====
Peace is a cherished thing, peace is a wondrous thing to behold, peace of the fishermen on the banks, peace of the shepherd tending his flock, but wait - is this mans ego? That I see, you hurt me, so I’ll hurt you and so on and on it goes, when will it ever end?
Will it end when the valleys have all gone, will it end with the fishermen or the shepherd and his flocks? No it will end when everything is gone, what of mans ego then. We look at the sun and see it shinning, we look at the rainbow and see its colours. What if we looked and saw that it was all gone, do we stop to think, no, I urge you, please, do stop and think, before we gaze at the sky and see the sun no more.
=====
When we listen to our mother earth, she is alive the same as you or I, she is a living being that feels pain and suffering as we do.
So my brothers and sisters join me now on this quest to save her, can you not hear her cries of sorrow, for they get louder each day, her seas and rivers are dying because of the pollution that lies deep within. Her beautiful forests are being cut away for the greed of some that want to get richer, no matter the cost to mother earth or the people that live upon her and treat her with respect. Band with me my brothers and sisters and spare a few moments each day to send love and healing to our mother earth.
=====
The wind blows across the prairie, where the buffalo and my people used to roam.
Gone are our camp fires, no more do we travel this land, this land of beauty and freedom we did not own the land, how can you cage mother earth how can you cage spirit, spirit should be free as should mother earth. We can hear mother earth weeping,
her cries of sorrow get louder as each season passes, when will her cries be heard. Listen my brothers hear her as we do, hear her cries of sorrow, the cries that only man can halt. So please listen to that wind that breath of mother earth, before she speaks to us no more.
=====
We take the trees that give us air, we kill the seas that give us life and then we ask why are things going wrong?
=====
Each day you awake to a new dawn, you open your eyes and the sky is there, the trees and the flowers are still growing, this has been the way for thousands of years.
Mother earth has sustained us as we were growing, when you were children your parents watched over you and provided you with your needs, just as mother earth does for her children, and as children we took without question, but now we are no longer that child, we have no excuse to keep taking, we know that if we want to withdraw money from the bank we first have to put it there. That is so with all things, we cannot continue to take without giving back. There is a universal law, what you give you receive and unless we start to give with our hearts, we will be very poor indeed.
=====
A time to ponder what we’ve done, a time to ponder what will come, a time to reflect on what has been, all things seen and unseen, what will be left of this earth when we are done.
=====
As I sit and ponder life, I think of the beauty that is all around if we would but look, the beauty of a butterfly as it opens its wings, the beauty of a flower as it opens its petals to the sun, the sound of a song bird as it begins its morning chorus. These things are there for all of us, we just have to take the time to look. When we hear the rain falling it sings a song all of its own, the splish- splash as it washes away the old and brings forth the new. All things in this world have their balance, so why can’t we.
=====
Listen to the singing of the birds each morning, listen to the cry of the lone wolf at night, listen to the song of the whales and the dolphins of the seas because when these things have gone. Then you will truly know silence.
