Land Speaks

Land Speaks
Robb Miller

This is a "stream of consciousness" entry form my journal that I thought fit many recent discussions. Perhaps it will open further dialogue.

Those who limit transmission of information to
humanity ignore the essence that surrounds them.

This is easy to do as it is what we have been taught.

"Mom, those rocks are trying to tell us something"

"You have a very vivid imagination Johnnie"

"Sometimes our minds play tricks on us, Johnnie."

"You'll never be a productive adult if you don't
let go of those kind of thoughts Johnnie."


We have been taught to ignore the teachings of the land.

We have learned to ignore the voice of the Earth.

We go so far as to rationalize our own intuition.


This is changing. People are starting to listen again.

The change begins first by listening to one's self and
coming to the realization that all is not right.

Those with inner resolve share their thought with the dark.

When the dark responds, our thought takes a new role in
directing our life.

It is then that we start to listen to the words of those who passed before us -- great minds that heard the song of One.

We begin to listen to the trees and the Earth once again
as we did when we were nine -- when we began to question.


Soon after we learn to listen, we realize that as the land speaks so to does it remember.

It remembers the 40,000 year history of those that walked it before us, loving the land.

It remembers and it calls to us.

From each continent the wise call though the soil.

The land lives on a different time scale then we. It is from its relative existence that it speaks.

A century after her bleeding she screams.

Those who have been alone ÷ at one with the darkness, begin to see the torture imposed.

We attempt an answer knowing we will never hear the reply.
Our children's children will someday receive acknowledgment.

The way of respect ÷ the old way is slowly returning. It returns with new thought that will carry us forward. Thought that only become possible through events unfolded.

As we learn to communicate with the land we will share not only sincere sorrow for recent event, but also the hope for the future that this event has enabled.
