saving one whale at a time

Posted on November 17, 2010 by admin

had to share this . . .

…The Whale… If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands
(outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined
that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and
untangle her.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around as she was thanking them.

Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.

And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.
I pass this on to you, my friends, in the same spirit.

Florida healing drum tour November 2010

Posted on November 16, 2010 by admin

“In 1958 I took a very hard fall onto my left hip during basketball
practice. I was carried to the training room examined, whirl pooled, medicated,
and iced, and later x-rayed. Two days later I played a complete basketball
game. 40 years later the hip started to be very painful after long runs or
walking 18 holes of golf. I could not stay seated for long periods, hip pain
would wake me at night, and I could not lay on my left side. The constant use of anti-inflammatories and rest kept me functioning. Yesterday,while working with
our blue light energy I was moving along the profiles of my body as you led
us. My hands moved over my head, eyes, throat, chest, first chakra and down.
When my left hand past near my left hip I felt light thump cover the palm of my
left hand and only my left hand. In reflection, it seemed as if a palm size area
of my hip formed a bubble that popped up, hit my hand, and disappeared. This, of course, registered, but I immediately became concerned that I was about to hit me head on my drum as I bent to touch the earth. Last night I slept pain free This morning I rolled onto my left side for a good-morning kiss and did not scream. I have just returned from the golf course and I am still without pain and that feels very very strange ofter all these years. Keep up the good work.”
