PROTECT OAK FLAT
Prayers and Action (Written with the Flaming Mind)
THIS DE-ADMIRATION FOR THE EARTH CANNOT STAND NO MORE
WE, AS PEOPLE, NEED TO STOP THE POWER THE SYSTEM THAT KEEPS DESTROYING OUT LAND, DESTROYING US, DESTROYING OUR RIGHTS, AND KEEPS TRUDGING OVER THE SACRED SITES OF THOSE INDEGENOUS BEFORE US
In this power I can forgo my chronic illness, my body pains, all my meager creations in the name of something larger.
I can destroy myself and all I hold dear to ensure a life force is not gone out.
In this place in this time in this land – I can hold the power to my own – and let it navigate me through and to the sacrality abound… I can be abundant here, the world can see the desecration and support us fighting for the larger connect – fighting for the mother earth – fighting fighting fighting for our own system to be the just and righteous and grandiose. We (I) cannot sit in the sidelines watching my home become a pit of capital… Earth is not Capital, Earth is Home…
Dearest dearest dearest Creator,
Awaken in me the senses, the strengths, the vitality to create this world for those around me. Navigate my soul to the center of all being so that I can speak and see the truths without veil. Face me the light of all form, of all formation. Birth upon me the health, the justice, and the real form of our Earthen Ways. I am ready, I am yours, I am given unto the light.
If it is I that shall create the change, so be it – gift me the knowledge of my understanding in How I am To Be So…
I will be weak, I will be subdued, I will be nervous and anxious and concerned for all my comforts in body and food. Yet, the transformation cannot change without the letting go of patterns and the shadows that darken my senses.
I am no longer any One, I have to fight for the One
Tendrils and eyes and ears to the longer knowing, the longer deeper destruction going on – abiding is not he name of any face. Blood feathers, trudging horns sound a ready rebellion. Let the faces of all that see the truth come to blockade the path of destruction. In each body, in each vital thought, in each injustice we shall find the path to courage, to strength. Each addition a stronger chain holding us closer and closer to each other until we all are unison.
Will we not let go our abundance, will we not be happy with what we have created. How much more shall we need to extricate from the all knowing, all we have, all our resource – until we reach the end of it all – and we are left with nothing.
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing is worth this destructive value. Nothing is worth this failure in ourselves. Nothing is worth this emptying of our Mother. Nothing cannot sublimate our sins towards this Earth, this universe, our own lives
except for
Our Own Lives Sacrificed
Now
To the Larger Scheme
The Large Cultivation
The Larger Culture
where-in
we once again realize
We Are of The Earth
and of it we shall return…
This is our gift
Blessed Be
Us
“In a divided 6-5 decision from a rare eleven-judge panel, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court ruling that the site of the planned Resolution Copper mine is not subject to any federal laws protecting religious freedom, like the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978…
The tribal members who brought the case, who go by the name Apache Stronghold, have already vowed to appeal this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. That nonprofit has been represented by Becket, a D.C.-based public interest law firm focused on religious liberties, since this case’s filing in 2021.
They have 90 days to appeal this new ruling.”2 (Italics added for Emphasis)
