- About Me:
- High Chiefs and noblewomen gaze at me
Ancestral mists enfold us and I pray for them,
Childrens' hands in theirs, wondrous Thunderbird
lifts a heavy roof that we abiding be,
For them, for us and for the future.
Dzunoqʷa asleep, whose law says we'll be safe
If we take care of those among us who are weak.
And Maxʔinuχʷ in copper holds us up, while Raven
Makes his home with 'Nʔan, ƛisəla, with us.
The forest at our backs gives up it's heart,
But we look out to sea to count our blessings.
:inklings as I pray for them.
Their memories are mine now in a way.
The grease in the kitchen, the songs in the parlour,
The clean scent of cedar all over clothes
Worn in the manufacture of our living then -
T'samas might as well have been Tsaxis.
My forebears' carefully recorded life,
Their food, their homes, their ways and songs,
can once again find comfort in our thoughts,
Be more subtle and of old, so the new
can be better and better, in and for us.
A language lost is being plucked up onto tongues
that have only known english. Only English sounds
fell into ears more made for stops and whispered "x".
Along side these yearning spectres,
reluctant company while on this earth,
My mother's family, gilt not in copper
But in gold and of another measure,
joins them now, in concern for me,
For mine, for friends and Faith....
And even though what worked their field of vision
Sent it's combing harrows through my youth,
I know their mettle carried other burdens.
I'm glad now, of their company in prayer
and more, that my mother's contrast to their cast
Was so complete.
Between them, close on each contingent's arm,
My brothers too find kin on any side they turn.
And while I pray I see the promise made:
My father stands among them, peaceful now.
My mother is engaged in sending golden letters,
better and better, to us all.

Surgeons must be careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit - Life!
Emily Dickenson
Unless ye must,
Bruise not the serpent in the dust,
How much less wound a man.
And if ye can,
No ant should ye alarm,
Much less a brother harm.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 256)
Not a day goes by that I don't wish Jane Elliott such angels at her side; and stacks of energy in her good work in this world!

Here is some comfort...
With regard to the spiritual significance of the suffering of children "who are afflicted by the hands of oppressors", 'Abdu'l-Bahánot only states that for those souls "suffering is the greatest mercy of God", He also explains that to be a recipient of God's mercy is "far better and preferable to all the comfort of this world", and He promises that "for those souls there is a recompense in another world". Thus:
As to the subject of babes and infants and weak ones who are afflicted by t
