Dear Friends and Family,

I just wanted to let you all know that I spoke with Grandfather Wallace for over and hour Saturday. He sends his regards and thanks for so many prayers. He has been in private ceremony for a few months and will remain in that ceremony until the full moon of July when the green grass grows. He sounds strong and like a man who has been praying a lot and giving the world situation the full attention of his heart. He spoke of a powerful message from Spirit that reminds us that in these times it is more important than ever to unite in a HARMONIOUS manner...in good prayer and hard work to become a stronger Spiritual family.

He is saddened by the years of judgment of "His Pipe, their pipe, the right dance, the wrong dance, the most powerful, the biggest, the hardest, who's right or who's wrong. He reminds us that we are all praying to the same God for the same reason. We want this planet to be a strong and peaceful place for the children yet to come.

He, as always, reminded me that we all have our ears on crooked and we aren't hearing the hurtfulness of our own judgmental words about how each circle is doing their work. He says that makes us no better or no more special than anyone else who sits in judgment and does nothing to make this world a better place. He wants us all to focus our prayers to the same Creator that we all spoke to when we joined him in circle for so many years. He wants us all to be more respectful of Creator, the Spirit that we all committed to, and most of all to each other.

We need to model the HARMONY to our children and mentor them into a stewardship that WILL provide, food, water, trees and healing for these children who are watching the world churning in chaos before their eyes on TV each day. We need to give them a new vision that is real and full of hope and honor and dignity. That means it has to start in our own circles. I asked him if he needed us to send him anything, and he said he just wants us to listen to each other, to feel with our hearts and get out of our fear. He reminds us of Trusting Spirit, and re-membering to trust each other with a more open mind and heart. He said if all of us just kept the commitments HE HEARD US SPEAK TO CREATOR IN HIS CIRCLE, that this planet would already know more peace.

He says, we ask him to jump, and he does; then we don't always keep our commitment to the songs or the Medicine or each other. This makes him sad and he has to spend even more time praying for all of us to GET IT, and he could be using that time for the young ones in need.

When I spoke to him, four people had called to say that they were coming by to help him and get him to the fabric store and to a lodge being poured for him....they were already a couple of hours late and he was musing at how upset people get if he is late....awe life's balancing acts. And yet, they may have gotten caught in a storm or something, so he was being patient and understanding. He thinks we should all do more of that for each other. Anyway, I promised him that I would let all know that he is good and that he has much to say right now.

Even though my ears are probably on crooked and I still don't have the whole message right...please know that I am trying, like all of you to process the magnitude of the information that we all share right now. We need to listen in our hearts and dreams and stay connected in prayer, as we honor our commitments.

Please pass this message on to those whom you let know of his desire to remain home this winter....and be sure to tell them he sends his respect.
