Being

I feel the Transition.
It lives and breathes in me.
A 60 degree February day gave much relief of ice covered driveways.
In the kiss of warm winds, we removed our woolen hats
and donned a lighter jacket.
It was a day to emerge as the ants begin a sleepy trail into the kitchen
and a familiar Spring bird sings one throaty song in the morning sun.
A portent of what is to come.
The Earth is Awakening.
I am called forth from the Dream.
I peek out, briefly, from my Hermitage
and my Heart fills with the promise of tomorrow.

Night falls, the snowy landscape glows in the Full Moon light.
A cold wind bends and sways the trees,
the window chimes thrust into constant Melody.
It is not yet Time.

We are Amazing Beings

Our Soul's alignment with our Highest Path and Purpose can sometimes be blocked and/or restricted by choices we have made while in a physical incarnation. Oftentimes these choices were made lifetimes ago but the energetic effects are still being felt in our lives. The information that I received in my own Soul Realignment TM Soul Profile Reading resonated with me deeply, and my perspective immediately shifted. As I looked back over the events of my life, I could understand the how's and the why's of certain behaviors I exhibited in a broader context- from the perspective of an eternal being in a co-creative experience of being human. It was no longer an intellectual concept, the eternal nature of my essential self- it became an Inner Knowing, right down to my cellular structures. I began to feel more compassion towards myself and less judgemental about choices I made, or didn't make, and a growing appreciation for my life just as it is. I arrived deeper into the knowledge that I am indeed the creator or the writer of my life story, and so far it's a pretty good one. I anticipate the story to unfold in epic proportion! Yours can, too! Wow!

Within one month's time after my own Realignment, I experienced a strong inner prompting to enter the course myself to become a practitioner. This nearly drove my rational mind mad with doubts- why would I do such a thing, spend my last hard earned dollars on this course? What a leap of faith I was being asked to take. I looked over the edge and knew that I was being asked to jump, but I didn't see any net. I jumped anyway. The inner push was so strong, undeniable- I had to follow it into the unknown. My life has begun to change in the most beautiful ways, and I feel like this journey is just beginning...

How about you? There is so much we can do, be, have, experience. Your Higher Self is calling. Shall we become the Human Beings that our Precious Earth is asking us to become, to be of assistance in this Time of Planetary Transformation? Can we rise to the challenge of this Great Work? Yes. We have many helpers in Spirit who want to assist us, and we have an innate ability to tap into the Stream of Divine Love that is the substance we were created from. It is Infinite and always available. Double Wow!

Any healing of the Earth and Her Creatures must start within each individual human being. There is much Love and Support for you...
Blessings,
Rev. Ursula Carrie

The EPA is holding 6 meetings around of the country on the subject of Hydraulic Fracking, the final 3 of which are being held in Binghamton, NY. That is significant.

>> What is Fracking, and why is it a danger to our environment?briefly this is, "Fracking is a commonly accepted term for hydro-fracturing, a process where water, sand and chemicals are injected into the earth at high pressure. The aim of hydro-fracturing is to fracture rock formations deep underground in the hopes of liberating natural gas that would be otherwise inaccessible, and to bring it to the surface.""

>> What's the Problem?

Fracking is a radical procedure when compared to traditional methods of natural gas extraction. Until recently, it had been considered only as a measure of last resort.>

Below are just some of the many important differences:

* Vast amounts of water are required.

* Fracking uses various chemical lubricants, many of which are toxic.

* The chemicals used in fracking are considered proprietary, and are therefore secret.

* The water used in fracking poses a major disposal problem.

* There have been over a thousand instances of groundwater contamination in areas near fracking sites.

* Fracking has never been subject to an independent assessment of its environmental impact.

* Fracking isn't subject to federal regulation. (This was done via an EPA exemption pushed through Congress by then Vice-President Dick Cheney in 2005.)

* The full long-term environmental impact of fracking is unknown. As reports of water contamination near drilling sites proliferate throughout the country, there has been increasing pressure for Congress to reexamine the industry's EPA exemption and undertake an independent assessment of fracking's environmental impact.

The natural gas industry has been fighting Congressional action and has been doing everything they can to retain their exemption to the Clean Water Act. At the same time, they have been aggressively expanding their operations presumably to take advantage of the current lack of federal regulation."

ALL OF LIFE NEEDS CLEAN WATER TO SURVIVE

February 23, 1989 Letter to the Editor of the Woodstock Times

THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON THE NOW

To the Editors:

I am a Rotary exchange student, living for one year in the south of Brazil. In being here in what is called a Third World country, my eyes have been opened to a problem of this country that will affect the entire world- air pollution. In speaking with my peers, more importantly my seniors, I have become aware of a very potent problem in the northern area of Brazil- the Amazon forests. The lush, tropical Amazons are world famous, and they are also a rich source of natural resources for American companies as well as those of Brazil. Portions of the forest the size of West Germany are being killed each year, and new ones are not being planted. That leaves the region of the north dry and almost without the hope of rain year 'round. Tropical rain forests are one of the earth's largest suppliers of oxygen. With the death of so many thousands of unreplaced trees, compiled with the known problem in the ozone layer, our air and consequently our lives are in danger for the future.

It is so important for the public (old and especially young, for they are the world's future) to be educated about the "smaller" things going on in the world. We have some wonderful groups in our area to "Think Globally, Act Locally" in the cause of this situation. Man can create, but man can destroy in a second. Let's get together and be informed- take some action. The future of man and the creatures of the earth depend upon the now.
