Sisters are such special people. They can out think, out do and love us better than anyone in the world. They stand with us in difficult times, rejoice with us in the good times, and talk to us with loving words to lift us up. The Cherokee calls these special people their a na da lv �?beloved sisters. Sisters never complain when we get lost in time and space �?never forget to welcome us home. Sisters don’t have to be blood kin �?for what does that matter when the relationship is stronger than ancestry. Love transcends so many dry places and makes us family by choice. What could be better than to be a beloved sister?
Burden Basket Bearer Into the basket we place our hopes and fears; experiences and dreams; the weight of our needs; and the burdens of caring for others, for other species, and for this Earth. For the truly sensitized, it can be one heavy basket. Those who see and feel enough, those given to love, truly can be said to carry the weight of the world �?on willing shoulders. The key word here is willing. One usually has the option of "keeping it light," of ignoring the gravity of unfolding events while suppressing intuition, instinct, and emotion. In modem society, illusions receive widespread support, and denial is seen as an acceptable way of dealing. On the other hand, for the most conscious and engaged, the basket may house the accumulative transgressions of our kind, the mistakes of the past and the formidable weight of our future choices. Yet, always, it's a load we voluntarily pick up and carry.
Let us not forget this message in these great times of trials and tribulations....
Bring together your circles of sisters!!!!!! AHO.....Blue
