And Then
There Was Peace

Today just for one minute I had the gift of a vision
that showed the entire world at peace. In my heart
of hearts the peace and love flowed once again,
it was an old remembering from a time before time.
For just a minute I saw children being fed and mothers
and fathers being reunited with their sons and daughters.
Sons Daughters, Mothers and Fathers returned to
their loved ones and every heart was filled with
peace. In that one glimpse into time the sky was
clear and not polluted, water ran sweet and clean,
fish returned to feed the people. Medicine plants
filled the earth and no one was denied the healing
from them.
We were all one color under the big blue bowl of
the sky. Peace had changed our hearts and minds
so that our eyes did not see difference; but only
saw the beauty of the spirit.
Anger, hatred, and lies were sent back to the place
of darkness to be bathed in the pure light of truth.
From the waters of a new beginning we were all washed
and our minds were free of judgment. Dignities,
and integrity, were restored to each and every living
thing. The ways of honor and wisdom flowed in all
that we stood for on this Earth and in the sky world.
Weapons of war were gathered, melted, and pounded
once again into plough shears. No one was paid not
to grow corn and we all understood universal peace.
The seeds of peace were placed into the Earth Mother
and she in return fed the people beauty and wisdom.
Our hearts minds and souls were once again in tuned;
we could hear our brothers and sisters hearts.
In my vision I saw the streets full of people unafraid
to walk in the cities. There were no homeless people
no sellers of the flesh and soul walking the street
corners. Young people were not addicted to drugs
or infected with horrible diseases.
Babies were not born to only die from addictions
that they had never known. There was abundance everywhere
as people sat down to celebrate the miracle of this
moment. The story of a peace walker was once again
spoken. The remembering of the one who came and
spoke the way to live in peace filled the empty
space of time.
The Great Laws of Peace that are the foundation
for this Turtle Island were spoken in every language
of the world and sent out into the multi verse.
The teachings of our elders were understood in every
heart and lived in our spirits and souls.
For just one minute I saw the clouds of time pass
and the Earth Mother smiled with her heart light
and happy as when she was young. We all danced in
the hoop of life hand in hand, brothers and sisters,
as one with all things.
May the peace be in your heart as you celebrate
this time in all the true meaning it was given.
In this tiny window of time may we walk together
in love, truth, and peace for the seven generations
to come.
It is a beginning in the midst of confusion, fear,
and uncertain times let us all enter the sacred
hoop for one minute. Hold all your loved ones in
your heart; gather the precious gift of family around
you, and love each other, for that is the true meaning
of Christmas. For just one minute clear your mind
of the outside world and see through the eyes of
a child. Vision in your heart and mind the beauty
and love that we were given to share by our Creator.
Love and Blessing to all my friends thank you for
being you. I hold each of you in my heart for you
are my gift from Creator.
Sending you blessings of peace and love Waynonaha
For all who have taken the time this year to help
gather the clothing and toys for our children thank
you. May this gratitude flow a million times from
my heart to yours. Love Waynonaha
