Timucuan Breast Plate

 The Timucua Ocali were the first people known to have lived on this land where I now live.  They were here for THOUSANDS of years before the first white intruders landed near here in search of "The Fountain of Youth".  This is thought to have been a pendant worn for protection.  I used it years ago to make this collage.

We have to remember that the hatred and alienation rampant in the current leadership of this , OUR Country, is such a short bleep of history and can be changed again .

The power has always been and will always be, IN The Present moment.

I know in all of my heart and soul that most humans on our planet right now know that love is more powerful than hate,  and I use this now to bring protection for myself and celebration of all of the amazing colors that we are in this beautiful quilt that is the USA.

May peace somehow prevail.  May all humans be given equality, dignity, compassion, love and the freedom to find food, shelter, clean Air And clean water for all families everywhere.

SO BE IT.

Timeless Quote

 

Part of a paraphrase timely yet again....

"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" 

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy." -- Martin Luther King, Jr. 

We Will Survive. Again.....Love will ALWAYS trump hate.
