I have no intention of becoming a spirit sandwich for the evil forces that are ravaging our nation. I know that the best way for me to protect my spirit and soul is to not allow myself to linger in the energies of fear and hopelessness. Not easy these days. But essential.
John Trudell was an indigenous rights activist, author, poet, actor, and musician. During most of the 1970s, he served as the chairman of the American Indian Movement. He became ancestor in 2015.
So in this place where spirits are eaten, let us infuse this landscape with love and joy and optimism. Let us sing our soul songs. Let us dance to the rhythms of hope.
Beannacht,

This resonates. So deep. Thank you.
Protecting my spirit–protecting our spirits–I had not thought of so much, certainly not so clearly, before. Should you say more on this, I’d be thankful. Though here is much to think on and apply. Thank you.
Hey friend. Well you’ve prompted me to consider a writing on this. Thank you. But I know we, our spirits and souls, hold the energies of hope, love and compassion…and the other energies I write about. All divinely inspired. And I know that those in this regime would have us turn away from those and embrace the energies of fear and hopelessness. Each of us and together. We hold fast those sacred energies and in doing so we protect our spirits, our spiritual essence.
