It is coming up , on April 22, worldwide, a day of symbolic Union.
Why a day dedicated to Earth?
To remember and refresh our Connection, and our Respect.
To celebrate and honor our Lives while we are here.
There are so many things we are given, and we can thank Earth for!
It is our Home, our Planet.
It provides us with Room to be, Food, and Drink.
It is there before us, and will be after us.
It heals us always, if we ask it.
It gives us Beauty, and Inspiration.
It is Home for All our Relations, the Green, the Animals, the Rocks, the Elements, us Humans.
We will walk to the Center for this day,
in Silence,
carrying Gratitude and Blessings for all the Beings we cross,
to one of “my” Sacred Places,
then we will move to a large Rock, big Mama, an old Friend.
We will gather in a Circle to refine our Energies, and create Connection.
Some time will be spent on our own,
The rest will be given as a present to her through meditation, songs and dance, and Offerings.
We will end by the Sacred Fire, sharing Food and company.
BRING with: small offerings ( for example: rice, vegetable, feather, rocks, water, things that do not pollute)
drums and rattles, something to sit on, a piece or two of DRY WOOD, food, drink, what you know you need. A plastic bag
and plastic glove for collecting rubbish while we go.
Meeting TIME and PLACE: Hareskov station, forest side, 15.00 o’clock (be precise, please), end after 2 and half/3 hours (but one never knows), without Fire sharing time. You are free to go when ceremony is over.

ANYONE IS WELCOME, as long as you can respect the others, and what is going on. Are you “new” in this? Fine!
My Father’s heart had stopped, and Mother and I sat in the hospital room, waiting for news.
At that time I was atheist, nothing or no one to convert my “prayers” to, no beliefs, no religion, no spirituality, so I got surprised and chocked once I realized what had been going on.
Me? Praying?
Father was brought back to Life, and again Gratitude filled me, and was sent/given? to something, someone… somewhere…
The word “prayer” may feel “right” to some, “false” to some, “unknown” to some…
Reflecting…
If prayer is… “intense, honest and focused attention towards a “positive” effect on someone or something”?
(One kind…then other sorts of prayers exist …)
Then…Can we?…
And may we?…
… “judge” what is “right and wrong”, and freely send “positive thoughts”?
…whether…we believe we got “God” inside, we believe in “God” outside, we got “no God”,
…or we believe Quantum results…
“Wishing good” (little prayer) can only be positive and fruitful!
That “Everyday is a Miracle”, we all know, and we also easily forget.
Gratitude is a great deed, a quality, and a discipline that gets blurred at times.
And sometimes we all experience days that feel “empty”, or “meaningless”.
We may call them “silly”, and be ashamed of them: what are they about?
Obviously, they are not our “best” ones, not the “glorious” or “interesting” ones, not the “loving” or “social” ones, not the “creative” ones…
Obviously, they are the “nonsense” ones, the “flat/uninspired” ones, the “feeling lonely” ones, the “colorless/foggy” ones, the “boring” ones, the “depressed” ones, the “tired” ones…(add your “favourite” here)…
Days to put out of the calendar, days to cancel, to forget?
Or?
What if we remove the “negative judgement” attached to them?
Or?
What if we call them “pause” days instead?
Or?
Accept and Be in whatever is, “those” days included?
I got a few places I call, (and feel like) Home in this World.
Still, Roots are different.
My “original” Home is a multiethnic ex border town, by the Adriatic Sea, with a turbulent rich and interesting past, a turbulent Wind, Bora, and an amazing Beautiful Altopiano, rich of Calcium Rocks, Caves, and Villages.
And a rich Architecture, stylish buildings, modern scientific projects, university, churches of several Religions, and so on. Good mix 🙂
And a rich and chaotic mess of houses, cars, and People.
My “real” Roots belong to the Land, and to my Family, many of whom are dead and gone.
And to my Friends, who I still have many of, old, and new.
I went for my Heart was calling.
I went among other things, because covid had been hard, and I felt with them, and missed them…
For them, and us here, I started the Reconnect project on the net, that still runs.
What I met was a Wonderful Nature, its Sharpness, its Sweetness, its Big Horizon, its Endless Water, its Sun, its Wind, its Fog, my Rocks…
What I met was open Family and open Friends… Time did not matter, Time had only made us older in our Bodies, Spirit was Fresh, Meeting was precious…
Communication was easy, and often very deep, Hugs were good.
