A Father's Day & Solstice Message from Tre Arrow

Tre sends us his latest call out
Hello to everyone. I wish you all a blessed father's, grandfather's,
great grandfather's, etc, day!! What a powerful time to be alive on this
planet, eh? I would like to acknowledge this time of year here in the
Northern Hemisphere as we approach the longest day of the year, the summer
solstice, and the time when we are closest to our grandfather sun. The
summer solstice is occuring on Wed June 21 at 10:26 a.m. pacific (West
Coast of Turtle Is.) time. Without grandfather sun we would not have all
the bounty that earth mother provides to nourish and heal our bodies and
spirits. I give great thanks! I also pray for all the brothers and
sisters who are sundancing at this time. I send a blessing to all the
beings in the southern hemisphere celebrating the winter solstice.

I give great thanks to you, dad, for the father that you have been to me
my whole life and for all that you have blessed me with. I give thanks to
all of my relations and all of my ancestors who have contributed to the
being who I am on this day. Again during this time of honoring the father
I call to mind the Universal balance of the masculine and feminine, the
yin and yang. In doing so I honour our earth mother, our spirit father,
all the birth mothers, all the birth fathers...I love you all!

I would like to share these words with you, which was the original lords
prayer:
“Cosmic Birther, Earth Mother Father Heaven present within the universe.
Clear out the old and make the Holy of Holies within me. Come into this
Holy of Holies, the bedroom of our hearts, and prepare us for the marriage
of power and beauty. Heaven meets Earth in acts of compassion. We are now
clear and ready to act. We take responsibility for wise, compassionate
action. Give us this day, nourishment and understanding. Embrace us wholly
as we embrace others. Allow us to remember what's important so that we
may hone oportunities and continue to bear the fruits of our love. From
you is born all creativity, the song of creation that renews from age to
age.”

I highly recommend the book 'The Way of the Peaceful Warrior' by Dan
Millman. (Please acquire used or borrowed from a library...for the
benefit and health of every living thing).

I Will write more soon,
Namaste,
tre
