Dear friends, family,
My letter will be short, because I really want to get these transmissions out before I leave. We are now packing for our imminent trip to India to attend the Vajapeya Somayag, a very special Yajnya for our planet Earth, lasting 16 days. It will be held in Maheshwar at the Homa Therapy Goshala, November 24 to December 10, 2012. This will be the fifth Somayag held at this sacred site. For more information and photos of previous Somayags, see Somayag.org

We are all facing what we realize more and more is a rather uncertain future for our planet. Though intrigued by the ominous predictions and dates given for the ultimate end of our world, we continue to move ahead with determination to defend and protect our environment, fortify and nurture our own bodies, minds and souls, and learn to live in harmonious interchange with all living beings. This is our commitment. We will not back down.

Dear friends,

My son Jacob and I just returned from a fast-paced visit to U.S. where we stayed primarily with Baltimore Homa Community in Baltimore, Maryland. Our visit was a lively combination of meetings with elders and young people in the community, visits with family and individual healings. It was a very full trip and we are both so grateful for every person we had the opportunity to work with, drum, dance and sing with! Always a joy.

While in America, it became even more apparent to us how easy it is to become complacent in a society of relative ease. Even if one’s individual life is not easy, it is a land where everything works! I saw the Homa community there working hard to support each other in their times of need, which was so heartening and inspiring.

Dear friends, family,
What a challenge it is to live and thrive in our world today. Though our hearts and minds yearn for the spiritual, our bodies still must deal with the challenges of an environment gone awry. We’re bombarded with Chemtrails, nearly force-fed genetically modified foods, our Mother Nature manipulated by climate engineering, and our human nature stressed by extremes in violence.
We struggle to remain standing, as a people, bracing ourselves for the next storm, earthquake, flash flood, volcano or tornado! It seems that everywhere we turn there is danger or the threat of danger. Still, simultaneously, those of us with an awareness of a Higher plan are learning how to shift gears, create alternatives, learn to live in harmony with Nature and with each other, and evolve in more healthy, sustainable environments.
We are buoyed by the Creative Force of Divine, as manifested through music, art, dance, prayer, meditation and Fire.

Dear friends,
From the midst of Earth’s dilemmas—unprecedented heat waves, nuclear radiation fears, floods, storms, and wars—I hear the call for community. I know there are many crises to face in the world, but alone we are weaker than we are as a whole, as ONE.

There has never before been such a dire need for forming intentional organic farm communities to establish self-sustainable living, long-term food storage, gardens full of organic produce, healing herbs, natural earth-based medicines and seeds of hope for the future (which also grow surprisingly well in Agnihotra atmosphere!)…

In community, there is a collective consciousness which enables every individual’s voice to be heard. Each unique voice brings a new note into the harmonic interchange of the whole. Woven together in a tapestry of sound, vision and artistry, we find our places and our true families of Light.

Dear friends,
Yes, these truly are times that try our souls! So much going on and it often feels like time is accelerated so fast that it is hard to keep up the pace. The expression ‘Where did the time go?’ surely applies to these jet-propelled days!

It occurred to me that the only true anchor through every storm in life is that which often seems most elusive, yet absolutely solid as a rock when you need it—Divine. I hesitate to give ‘name’ to it, but know that when times get rough, I gain inner strength from that One and only Source.

When we gather together, we are strengthening the base for spirit, that which surpasses understanding! It is at once a comfort and a wisdom-keeper. When we are amongst those who see through the veils we wear in our everyday lives, it helps us all to remember who we really are. Unity amongst us sets the stage for truth to come out and be heard, felt and seen.
