Before I share the magic that happened to us upon our arrival, I
will share the story of how it was that I came to move to the Place of Peace.
The
knowledge that I would one day move to this sacred place began
before I even heard of the Place of Peace. In the year 2000 the people
in the house behind mine moved out. Now when I moved into this
house I had just left a journey in which I was being stalked by a
neighbor, so when I moved into the house in the woods I was very
paranoid and it was very difficult to go outside because I was
frightened that another man would see me out his window and decide
to watch me 24/7. There were hardly any houses there, but
really the one behind mine. Even then, I was in a deep state
of shell shock and it was almost impossible for me to go outside.
But the
Fates were kind. It turned out my neighbor was a guy I used to
work with.. and he was married so with a lot of work I found I could
go outside again.. The without warning they moved out and I grew
terrified of my new neighbor would be so I had to do a lot of
praying.. but always the answer was, "Fear not."
I found
it hard to consol myself in the words "Fear not" and finally was
given a dream. In the dream a moving truck pulled up the
driveway. I thought it must be the new neighbors and when I
went out to look the truck had stopped my house.. and in the back of
the truck was a tipi.
After a
couple of years someone bought the house and people began coming
around to work on it.. Terror seized me again, but again the message
was "Fear not." they worked on the house for a year and then a
single woman moved in with her son. Her brother had bought the
house for her. . her shelter from the storm..
In the
meantime I had found the Place of Peace and she had come so deeply into my
heart that in the year 2005 I went there 4 times for ceremony, so
much love did I feel for her. So much passion did I have
for their dream for the the Place of Peace American Indian Village.
One morning I
woke up dreaming that the time had come for me to move to the Place of Peace.
So I packed up my things and moved down there.. and it was strange
because my son came with me and he was with this girl (and her 2
little raccoons) and they were acting all in love. there was
something between them and the thing that was between them they were
acting all goo-goo eyed over.)
Then
when I looked at my clock I remembered being told, "And you must be
down there by the 11th."
After that I
dreamed that I received an email from the Place of Peace saying that they were
now accepting donations for the the Place of Peace American Indian Village.
I was standing at the mountain looking at the place where it was to
be.. but it was as if it had been there before, and she looked
tattered as if she was to be rebuilt.
At this was
taking place I had taken my son, Jason, to the Place of Peace with me for
healing, and when we came back and was telling my oldest son, Shawn,
about our journey, he said, "I know you are moving there."
In the meantime
my neighbors brother had bought the house on the other side of my
woods.. and my house was the only thing standing between the
adjoining properties.. strange.. and then Jason told him that I was
moving, so he asked me if he could buy my house when I was ready to
sell?
Now Jason had met
a girl at the mental institution. Her name was Tonya and the
next thing I know she shows up at my house with her 2 sons in tow.
I had a little trailer out back for Jason to live in.. and after she
showed up I looked out the window and her 2 little raccoons were
playing outside in the yard..
Then time just
became a series of movements, a click, click click and we were
here.. and the thing between them, that made them go goo-goo
was a baby. They had a child together.
We
moved to the Place of Peace

Can you
believe it? How many journeys have I made to the sacred
mountain, to lay my heart upon my sister and tell her how very much
I love her? Every time I have come here she has made magic
upon my soul, so calling to me to move here, reminding me of the
promise I made so very long ago, in another life, that when the time
of the great sleep was over, I would come back (with the others) and work to restore
her, lift her up in all her beauty into the New World.
In the
beginning, of our move here, this is what happened:
as I
said,
every time I come here
she
makes magic on my body
We left Kansas City on the
July 24th
and arrived on Tuesday the 25th. On Wednesday(26th)
evening Tonya and I went outside and I discovered she had a gift… In
the beginning she kept telling me about a beautiful woman who was
walking slowly across the yard and she didn’t understand why the
woman was doing that. She also said that there was a man there also
but he was just observing us.
On Thursday evening we
went out again to smoke. This time she said there was a lion at the corner of the trailer
sitting there watching us a huge aardvark waking
across the yard. She said she kept hearing a strange noise, a
crunching kind of noise.. and they were saying something about the
garden and that this was the grazing field.. and the next thing I
know she is about the jump in my lap because some animal just
charged her.
As all of this is
happening I am trying to explain to her about the way that
dimensions will touch, and in the place that they touch we can see
into them. I was telling her about the different clouds, how they
travel at different heights in the sky and that when 2 clouds touch
each other, in that place you can see into the cloud.. and that was
how it was with seeing into other dimensions.. in the place where
the dimensions touch
you can see into them.
After the animal charged
her she said that a lot more animals had come. There were 2 trees
that formed a curved opening. She said all the animals were
now standing in the curved opening and she was scared because she
didn't know why they were just standing there. So I told that
we should go over there and see what they wanted.
Tonya is very scared of this new adventure.
She says that she is trying to get someone to talk to her and is
having to wait for it to translate. She hears a lot of
clicking noises in the beginning and finally she can hear words.
They are saying something about the Guardian.. and the next thing I
know she screams "Dragon" and about jumps in my lap
again, well except for the fact that I was standing next to her.
And they say, "No, no, not dragon. Guardian."
Tonya kind of laughs and says, "Well I have this picture in my mind
of what a dragon looks like, big and ferocious with wings, and that
looks like a dragon to me." They reassure her its not a
dragon, its the Guardian of the animals. His name is Bongo and
he is a lion with wings.
Of course I couldn't see any of this but Tonya
was very good at describing everything that was happening.
Then she started saying something about the man who had been
observing us. He had been standing with the animals and now he was kneeling at my feet
(which I thought was strange, who was this man that he would be
kneeling at my feet? In this 3d dimension no one really kneels
at my feet, although some do acknowledge that I am sacred on my
journey.) He also said something about he didn't recognize me
at first because he had never seen me without my cloak.
Then she said something about the animals, they were waiting for me to give them
permission, but I didn’t know what they were waiting for me to give
permission for, and I didn’t know how to give them permission, so
they said something about, "Well its usually a scent." My
first thought was that we needed to light some sage for them but we
had just moved to the Place of Peace and everything was still packed… so I light a cigarette and we
talked as we laughed and played in front of them because I didn’t
really know what to do to give them permission (and they kept
laughing then saying "We like her spirit. We like her spirit"… After a while they
began talking about not being able to cross the street because of
the
mean man, so I stepped forward and told them I was sorry.. and
somehow it was suggested that we make an altar for them. They
said to go gather the stones right then and make them an altar.
North South East West.
Well, by this time I knew
we would need the sage, and I knew that if they wanted an altar
that, somewhere in the house, in the boxes, I should be able to find
at least some stones to make an altar for them so I ran into
the house, so excited I could hardly figure out what I could
possibly find for them, since we had just arrived but I was able to find 4
stones and some sage. Ran back out and laid them on the ground..
We didn’t really know how to cleanse them so they told us to cleanse
them with Life and Blue Water..
So we get the sage and
kneel before the stones and pray over them, trying to infuse them with
Life and Blue water (we were visualizing blue water running over
them, and for life we included lots of giggling and laughter.
Finally they said that we had purified the stones.
Then as we are
trying to place the stones for the altar, Tonya said something about the 2 sides were now
fighting with each other.. and Tonya was getting scared, so after a
bit of watching her pleading with them to stop fighting I just
said, "well I’m not scared so I will place the stones"… so I placed
them and they were beautiful. Then Tonya sang a song:
Bring in
the new
take out
the bad
Bring in
the new
take out
the bad
Bring in
blue water
and new
life.
