The Holy Place of the Sacred Tree

There is a river that flows through me. I feel the rushing of the sacred seas. I want to know the greatness in my glowing, showing radiant being. There is a song that lives in me. I want to be part of this sacred sea. And all the trees I muster up my love. I say to you, I want to be dove.
 

Come gather with me a sacred tree, the holy place I need. Come share this day, my sacred parade, to dance and bring in cheer, love is near. Love is near. Wake up to see a song in your heart. And when you feel the many many darts. I say to you, come and dance with me. I will show how to reach your divinity.
 

We are a part of the sun in the sky. We are a part of the reason why. We are the singing song in the air. We are lingering just to be near. I have to say to you, those in the royal blue. I have to say to you, my love is here, don't you know the good news. Where is the song when others don't hear me sing. But I know in the sounds of waves that bring us to each other wings.
   
I sail to you. I sing for a better view. I hold my head up, to stand near the sacred cup. I fall down for you, to know the stars showed us true. I will beat the sacred wave, the heart inside that knows the nape (grab you). I will embrace you around your neck. I will hold you and kiss your lips. I will shine, to hold the sacred memorial bind.
 

We are together in the halls of hope. and there is all a lot of smoke (breath of life). I sail with you in the clouds sow true. I plant my seeds to fall with you. I plant my seed. I plant the weed/green (the weed will grow anywhere and bloom new beginnings, a spiritual renewal of the green grass).

White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings and Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star Drums from the heart of Relative Amanda. Her rainbow colors are silver, yellow, magenta, gray.

Beloved Amanda (silver, yellow, magenta, gray).

You said, "Thank you! Looking forward to meeting and learning from the Rainbow Clan. I am finally feeling at peace, like I am finding my way home, and it seems, I am. :) "

I say, "A silver child would know and recognize from the rainbow clan, mirrors to all those colors."

Silver and yellow, looks like golden. Ah, this is why this image was used for you. Golden has a darkening effect, because it's beaming from the inside. Silver is the young cosmic woman. Notice all mirrors are made from the darkening effect on the back side, to shine silver through the glass pane. Rainbow is the Mother (red robe). Silver is the young woman who dreams as she gifts the mirror to paradise, the rainbow colors. Yet, silver, rainbow and golden are all children of heaven. Their colors stream from within, thus streaming without. Heavenly beams, what is seen. Silver often shows people exactly the way they are, not often greeted well. However those who can receive, have heavenly virtues, come to the great circle of the oneness, they can receive paradise as the silver woman yearns for, a perfect world. She dreams and yearns to have the gallant warrior who comes to sweep her off her feet and protect her for life. And learning to become the mirror to the soul (crystal sun), she must first learn to become the mirror to the flesh, where rainbow colors lash, drawn out, born with, the song of eternal bliss. You offer to the world, your greatness, the silver child, the cosmic woman from heaven. Validate all they say, then send them on their waves. But if others can look inside of you, the wonder of the bird that is true, the dove who wants love through and through, just flew through. Silver is the young woman who is the mirror to the rainbow colored world, we call paradise.

Relative Amanda you carry yellow, the dreamer, able to dream dreams in synch with heavenly vision, often appearing to the earthly world as precognition. However, dark heavenly space happens before earthly light space. There is an echo and reflection of heaven, here upon earth, where rainbow colors appear (density). Yellow dreams. Learning to dream awaken is the learning of moving to and fro, between blue road of heavenly receiving with the red road of earthly giving. This is the yellow road, where dreams come true. Yellow visions dreams of their own, but also the collective dream. Golden color brings in the dream, helping us to be involved in dreaming, or brotherhood, where the blue rings are connected, the journey of heavenly stars. Yellow gifts a vision or place where the heavenly stars can congregate. Yellow is stillness (dreamer/movie watcher), while golden is motion (dreaming/in the movie). The yellow child walks towards in difficult situations. Yellow is the fifth sun of the rainbow clan, here an overlay, rather than the child or first inner most rainbow color, for you are the silver child, however this influence is true, to the yellow in the "place of the blue, heavenly seas of me and you".  The golden child (cosmic father of the rainbow clan) calls all towards relatives in difficult situations. Yellow Chief, a yellow child,  said it best this way, "I accept this challenge."

Magenta, the warrior who comes to unite the heavenly soul with the earthly flesh. This comes about through sacred dancing and singing. Together, representing the heart with a beat. The unification of heaven and earth in one being is not easy. Magenta is the rainbow bridge, where all the colors feels like a water fall, flow through them. Much of the time, the magenta color feels the awe of the world, like at sunset or sunrise. We only recognize the magnificent. Though the reality, to keep a flowing river of color cleanses and pure, means daily doses of dancing and singing. Without this daily recovery, the magenta gets backed up. It seems anything and everything gets given to them and they must learn to give it all away, as this motion of the dream, must be flowing constantly. Magenta feels like a warrior who carries a sword, to defend the kingdom. And without daily bouts of activity, the magenta warrior can be misguided to fight battles unnecessarily.

A magenta color is one of four rainbow colors that wear the red robe. This means, lessons after lessons. And the reason, a red robe would have lessons, is because they are the best to handle lessons. Magenta is the defender of men and when an injustice is known, the magenta will defile the grow, or guide the know. This means, they cut off what is not pure of heart, by guiding you towards what is good for you. Magenta is considered the great librarian. Thus each child of the rainbow is a book of life. Guiding others to relieve their lessons, is a gift for the magenta color, especially when they remember to teach others to dance and sing, to get along daily with their lives. Life is not always easy, but an arm around, someone to expound, then life seems a bit easier, when they are around. 

Gray is part of everything seen. It's what connects us to the dreamspace, in order for us to become the great lights we are within the rainbow clan. Those not seen, spiritual beings, do not have gray as their fourth point of light, actually a dark color. Gray is called Grandmother, because Grandmother is the dream SPACE. When you take four directions of colors, like most people have, then you will find gray in one corner. This dark point, allows the three other colors to beam light. The square is folded diagonally, thus creating two triangles. There is a dark side and a light side. The three points of light, reflect upwards and creates the great illusion, the dreaming upon Mother Earth.

For the silver child, holding yellow and magenta helps you feel and hear the dreaming spaces (seen and unseen). This can be overwhelming at times, especially when you seek for a perfect paradise and others do not recognize the dream like you (mirrors the yearning for a perfect physical world). There are fewer silver children, the young cosmic woman, than any other rainbow color, simply because there are more women child bearing. Yet, the silver child teaches us all, the yearning for a better world. To help us see ourselves as we truly are in the physical world, no illusions of grandeur, but truth in it's fitness, perfect radiant beings of light (rainbow colors).  It is a grand world, when we learn to love ourselves and take care of ourselves, in order we can serve others better. We are thine angels in the sky, come down to fill the world with the wise. Heavenly eyes!

Then the world would be a better place, when purification hits the trace (cleanses all the shoulders, boulders and lessons rolled over). We bless the sacred nine streams, every which way it beams. The holy four sacred tides (rainbow colors, the buffalo robe, prayer cloth), that open really wide. We bless the girth and it's worth, if only we could greet it's perth (thorn bush, thicket, pains, turning lessons into treasures), a pocket full of change (gift of brotherhood), goes to the world full of pain/(window)pane/dreaming. Let each one of us, learn to trust, our relatives who live on our block (field of dreams, the lot or square space).

your devoted servant sings, to bring in love in everything. It's time for us to chime, listening skills will align, when validation hits the seas, all will be able to breath, no more fear, but gifts of cheer.

Beloved Amanda,
 

Yes, your rainbow colors. You have been placed in a folder for those who ask. I am sorry, I have not gotten back with you sooner. We will dew your Sacred Song Blessing now and will add more later as we go along over the next few days or a week.

In the meantime, if you want to join Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy, you must bow. This means sharing a prayer for them, your brothers and sisters. Look at this page http://www.iamasundance.info/prayer for ideas and even a copy and paste prayer. You have to dew or cling to this tradition to walk and talk with Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy. If it seems hard for you to address and sign all your posts (bow), then we could add you to hoop 6, the stepping stone group. It's learning how to walk and talk a new way. We will leave that for you to decide if you want to gift a prayer or not.

But for now, my beloved relative, I send my love to you and sing your heart sow very true. You have been patient, but don't lose faith, a seeker must always be in the chase. (always ask more questions)

Going back to the great circle is not always easy for sure, but I can see you try try again, until you found us. I think a good mentor is one who is willing to learn too. We have many relatives on the hoops. http://www.iamasundance.info for more information about the hoops.
     
On the hoops, other relatives help guide each other. We are all teachers. We are all students. I learn from you and hopefully you learn from me. We are relatives on the great circle of life.
     
You followed blindly your heart, this is a good place to start. Just wanted to get back with you. I have you listed to receive your rainbow colors. Will respond as soon as I can.  In the meantime, join us on the great circle, the hoops of life. We dance and pray and sing for each day, to bring joy to the world, when many are having such sadness. It's a time to rejoice, because heaven is finally coming home into our hearts.

 I found you, somehow surfing the web. I have attended the rainbow gathering once about 7 years ago, sort of blindly if you will.
         
I am not sure where to start, or what to ask you really.  Maybe I should start with learning my colors? Any insight is definitely appreciated, I could use a good mentor! :) I felt very drawn to contact you to learn more. With my experience at the gathering and my native american heritage...I felt there is a reason for us to speak.

Blessings!

Open Fields and Sacred Trees, Holiness Amanda Believes


Heaven on earth come into me. I will fill the world with a sacred sea. We are united, we are all seen, if we feel our hearts and know how to beam. I send my love out to you everywhere. I send my love out to the stars. I feel the heavens inside of my heart. I just want to let it all out. We are driven to know of happiness today. We are driven to know of the perfect array. I know we are going to be happy, when love blooms inside of you. There will be a heaven and we will have wings too.  

Gifts of paradise, come into you. Gifts from upon high, fall down towards you too. I will be there cupping, all the tears that you need. Just in time for all of us to bleed (paradise we believe). Let the sun in. Let the clouds burst. Let the soul rise free. We will be together, I know it's the weather. I can dream it a good dream today. I long to feel this praise.

We could find an open field, where glory reigns today. There love will bloom in the afternoon, when warmth is filled in it's rays. When happy hearts will sing with thee, my soul will know the way. Come into thee, the landing breeze, find perfect company, the land of what we need. Heal all that (those) nations together. Make heaven shine upon her throne. Let all thine brothers be perfect, blessed each and everyone.

Wings of angels be free upon the skies today, and let the souls learn how to fly. We will  know the words of freedom, when our dreams are set free. I know we long to feel the heavenly breeze. I can't wait. I am waiting, for all to be seen, the greatness of each and every leaf (relatives on the tree of life).

There comfort and endearing will be better words, that mean we are loved inside this sacred herd (rainbow clan). I want to fill you up with all my love and joy. Just because you don't feel good, doesn't mean we don't make noise. Let your heart outwards. Let your soul sing. Let the song within you, out in the breeze. And when you are angry, let the world know about your cries. For they will hear you better, when you don't tell any lies (untruths).
 

What lies upon your heart, I know you want to be true. I want you to know castles, that die/dye sacred blue (true blue). And relatives I need you, to be near my sacred heart. We are together and to endure all the sacred smarts (ouch). Yet, I know love lingers, because it's lessons all the waves. Heaven knows how to teach us, little children to our graves. And when our souls understands, the lessons are treasures indeed, then we will be gifts of measure, a sigh, a melody. We will be together, no matter what we sea (envision).

White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings. A Sacred Song Blessing from the heart of our Holiness Amanda Barbara Wright songbird13@. Her rainbow colors (buffalo robe or holy temple in four directions) are lavender (crown), green, rainbow , gray. Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:17:58 -0700 Subject: Sacred Song Blessings Amanda Barbara Wright (Mother) From: whitebuffalocalfwoman@gmail.com To: RainbowClan@googlegroups.com; rainbow-warriors-of-prophecy@googlegroups.com; indigocrystalchildren@googlegroups.com

October 10-11, 2012 
My Beloved Holiness Amanda (thine to be loved),
We will be calling you Holiness Amanda until you get your Great Name (journey missions), but for now, it's important we and everyone including you, call you Holiness. You wear the crown, like many other crowns dew and not all lavender children wear the crown. Lavender represents Holiness and all lavender children we call Holiness, because they are love pouring cleansing the world. The lavender child exchanges the impure with the pure love that pours out of them. This is a force that cleanses and exchanges, love rules the airways. Your Rainbow colors (buffalo robe or holy temple in four directions) are lavender (crown), green, rainbow , gray.

Lavender (lavender appears red robed, love spirals, folding and birthing the fire's light for the Rainbow colors). Continually cleansing the rainbow colors with the living fire means an exchange, the impure enters into the lavender child, our Holiness, while they leave the relative purified. For many lavender children, this means, taking on the characteristics of the impure they just cleansed. And it can be violent and you have to hold them down. They lose their heads, lost in the pain and suffering of the one they exchanged with. And it's everyone and everything. Wake up blessings the world, because when we dream (awake or asleep), the cleansing does not stop. This is why we MUST call all lavender children Holiness, to get them back to their hearts by handing the drum to them and saying, "Play". Always, and I mean always, the ANSWER is LOVE for them, the lavender children (lavender and overlays).

Drumming is a way to soothe the heartbeat, making everyone feel much better, including themselves. If a lavender child can hit a drum (heart beat of the people) daily, bless constantly "I bless the sacred nine streams with fire and water" 8-12 times a day, send love from the heart, literally turning a switch on. Then, when trouble arises, walk towards and send love to purify. Have no fear, Holiness is hear. We all want to emulate this, called holy walking or waken, the eagle flies. Always (eternal flow, forever) and never (eternal pool, never die) Love escapes (slips through our fingers, the winds blow, heaven knows the to and fro) and Love can solve all problems of the world, especially for the lavender child.

For the lavender child, our beloved Holiness, we take a hold of you, to help you remember, that your heart can cleanse anyone anywhere anytime, just have to chime and all is blast clean, the rainbow colors will beam. People just feel better, not realizing when near a Holiness or a Lavender child. However, the flip side, many people will not get involved with the lavender child with their hearts, but even often takes advantage of their love. They are often used and abused and then left to fend for themselves, to find love even though they gift it quite freely for others. A lavender child is literally heaven and earth. Learning to cultivate holiness is a walking path (wakan). Just realize, that we are learning to become our Greatness. To realize our own potential, the very gift of the rainbow colors we carry, means taking on the duties that are written upon our hearts, to walk with gratitude and to gift back to the community. The lavender child is always willing to help others, teaching us, how to be part of something greater than self, but how to be part of the Greatness of others. We bow to the humble gratitude that joy beams from their hearts. Love streams and folds, bringing us all closer together with each other, the Rainbow Clan.

Since they, the lavender children are the Judge to God's witness, all disputes will be settled by them in the future, but for now, people somehow know, "never to judge the judge" (unknowingly, let's say it's a gut instinct, the soul whispers). People walk away, rather than save the day (demand purification returning love's flowing). We need more relatives who are willing to help save our Holiness when they are lost in the purification process. When love is not there inside of them, it's NOT THEM. We who love them, must attempt at all cost, to get them back to LOVE. And a lavender child with a crown, belongs to the people. This means, they show you how you act and the rage that goes hidden inside of you. You will be unwittingly looking at yourself.  The crown is your alarm, something is wrong. To hear the bells toll, means we develop warrior skills to save the daze, where the humble walk to praise and bring down those who lost their waves/ways of heavenly upon this world, to bring them back from the outer filled, to the inner silence of peace is known, where love is the throngs of all our soles/souls. Walk Holy (wakan), this is what the lavender child teaches the world. Let the eagle return to the sky (over the waves or rolling hills).

Crowns are interesting, in that we who wear the crown belong to the people, meaning what we feel is what they are feeling. We must rise above our own feelings to understand the feelings of the people who need us. We are the leaders who follow the children of paradise. A true leader follows, rather than leads, because the end of the circle can see all the way to the beginning of the circle. The beginning does not sea the end, thus we who belong to the people, lead by following them and what they feel within us. 

There are three possible crowns. Holiness Amanda you wear the red crown and very near receiving your yellow crown. Having more crowns, just means more work for the world. And for you, you carry rainbow too.  In other words, you are understanding of the birth mother (rainbow overlay color) to our souls for the rainbow children (fluttering effect, streaming river of many splendid colors). And you are the birth mother to our flesh (lavender child), the rainbow colors (atoms/adam/cosmic dust). I say, WOW. You have much to dew, or cling too, this is true.

It's very hard for you, because you wear two red robes (lavender and rainbow). This means lessons upon lessons come your way. Learning to deal with lessons, come first this way, the answer is always love for a Holiness, the lavender child. Pump love from your heart and you can cleanse the rainbow colors. Realize, there is an exchange and you must then cleanse yourself, by saying, "I bless the sacred nine streams". There are four rainbow colors that wear the red robe; rainbow (red-orange), lavender, magenta and red. You carry two of these colors, double lessons and double glory. Realize, if you are there chosen from God's oneness to help others, then the red road leads to you. There the lessons or stepping stones to get to love or walking holy, depends on others who will help them along the way. These four colors mentioned, "rainbow, lavender, magenta and red", who wear the red robes are best to help, heal and guide them back to the blue road of heavenly virtues, wakan or holy walking on the red road, where lessons, stepping stones, the path of forgiveness, turning over a new leaf and beginning aknew, means someone stops and cares about the relative. The red robe is difficult to bare/bear, but the star that knows just how to share, when love cares and serves others in their time of need. Looking past the lessons, means love rules the spaces. Walking holy is the view, then we find our way through.

With the crown and two red robes my Holiness Amanda, your daily blessings helps you as well as the people, but we do need to get you a drum. We will request family members (magenta is the gatekeeper to the lavender gate into paradise) to buy you a hand drum. It has to be a gift from someone. You should not buy it for yourself. And you have both your daughter and your partner as magenta children, they are the gate keeper to you, lavender the gate into paradise. Your hand drum will help relieve so much tension, however you have a golden overlay on your partner [Significant other, Craig Austin Weir with his rainbow colors magenta, golden, crystal, gray.] Lavender cleanses outside. Golden cleanses inside. Thus you two help one another cleanse each other. It's amazing how you found each other.

Getting you a drum is first and foremost. You must drum daily and when things are not going well, you must drum. Do not let anyone teach you. You know the beat of the people. Trust yourself. It will always be perfect, even when you think it's not. You will calm everything down when you drum. It's important you do this every single day for the rest of your life. Magenta can sing, have your partner or your daughter sing. Tell them to trust their heart. They can dew it or cling to it, if they trust their hearts. Both of your nearby relatives need to dance and sing every single day as Magenta children to cleanse themselves, as they are the Rainbow Bridge. If you plan a daily circle. You can drum and they can dance and sing. They are the teachers to the great dance and song, for all to learn to be holy. You are heaven and earth, the lavender child who is holy. The magenta child teaches us to become heaven and earth to all the world. They are the middle sun, the great librarians. No wonder your daughter asked many questions, it's natural for the great librarians to put all things, "books of life" in their right places. And thus they are the gatekeeper to the gate of paradise, the lavender child. Your drumming and their dancing and singing, daily gathering of your family, will promote tears of joy. Otherwise, there will be tears of pain. Tears will fall, heaven is in control of it all. The good fight is to purify towards heavenly gatherings, a circle. This is the sound of joy, tears of glee. Let this be the path to unity in your household and let the drum lead the way, the heartbeat of the people will play. That's the heavenly waves.

Green is the shore of another door. Meaning we all stream together down a river, called the crystalline stone river. There we are, where we as "beings of light", sparkle like diamonds (crystalline snowflakes) and many colored jewels. As beings of light, we shine many splendid colors and to divide and read clearly the four sacred directions, meaning asking a crystal child, like myself as you have Holiness Amanda. Because a crystal child, divides light, similarly when the sun beams through a crystal stone, the colors divide into prisms of color. This is perfect division of the fields of dreams in streams (smaller parts). Well, the river is the opposite, where all colors divide, they instead all collide, coming back together, the way the many streams, rivers go back to the seas and oceans (larger parts). We call Green the reflective crystal, because Green color knows what lies upon your heart. And they can identify the lie or untruths spilling from your deepness, the well of your physical being. While the crystal color can identify the truth spilling from the deepness, the soul of your being. The Green color shows us how to unify, to be independent, walking free. They are the spiritual leaders, showing us how to be ONE, inside their dream field. What often happens although, with the world in a perilous state, the impure and lies of deceit are too much to bare and this ability to walking free, also means, getting up and picking up to go away. Without realizing it, the river just follows them around. There really isn't anywhere they can go to hide from the world. Walking towards is the yellow color and since green aligns with yellow, the dream of the gold is nearby, when we look with other people's eyes. This is what Grandmothers (gray children, gray color), Cosmic Fathers (golden color) and the Brother (yellow color) teach us. Green can guide the river of Oneness, when they take the reins and shoots down shame, instead brings back harmony where the river flows, says, "Watch, I will show you how to row". In other words, how to paddle down the river. This means thus:

The Two Row Wampum Belt
 “Boat and canoe” navigation metaphor as being the guiding spirit of all subsequent treaties (agreements). The paddling down the river, presents itself as a political history of the community that incorporates the involvement in the alliance known as the Seven Nations of Canada within a distinctly “Iroquois” identity paradigm (representing united nations). This is also the basis for the Declaration of Independence written by the United States of America, brotherhood, equality and freedom for all men. In God we trust, "the voice of each other". When we flow from the blue road (blue strip, virtues) to the red road (blue strip, true blue) and back (all lives in heavenly bodies of the blue oceans of time, the crystalline stone river flows elliptical paths known as hoops, circles and rings). To and fro we go, then the third yellow road appears (middle white row, where light is the glow). Five rows represent the blue, the relatives who are true. This is also expressed in the Jewish Tsitsihar or tassels on the Prayer Cloth. This is the shape (belt or sash) of a prayer cloth, four directions (green fields) and five streams (relatives beam), equals the rolling over (bows), the force and power of love that binds our hearts together. The dream appears on the yellow road and golden fields of brotherhood would run near. It's only now, we are ready to receive knowledge from each other, the ark of the covenant (boat and canoe navigation, and how to paddle down the river of), the Rainbow Clan. White Buffalo Calf Woman shares.
 
The Prince Who Walks and Talks the Right Way. This posting http://thunderroaringstream.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-prince-who-walks-and-talks-right-way.html was sent out yesterday, from our Yellow child, Thunder Roaring Stream. This is the power of the streaming river of the Oneness of God, the dreamer is set free and it's green color that teaches the world how to navigate the spiritual waters upon earth, when we come together at the great circle, the ONENESS of all our relations. Green color teach us to paddle down the river of stones with holy strife, to gift our life. We bow for you, to help you remember you must too, bring home all the clues. Show us all how to PRAY, to walk or "paddle down the river" the right way!

A note, when Green and Blue colors come together, there is a fullness of the heart. It feels like abundant love flowing. There is a completion the rolls over forming a wave, inside this wave is yellow, the path to dreaming. Your daughter carries blue overlay and other blue colors on other people's buffalo robes will have the same effect. Often green and blue cannot see/sea the yellow road themselves, but feel the shores of the neighbors floors, meaning is the earth shaking? However, this completion helps others find their way, to their own dreaming, where the yellow road floors, inside the waves, where heaven saves our souls. Learning to move to and fro, feeling the heartbeat of the world, means taking hold of our feelings and sharing them with others, because we don't always understand the impact we make on others. But we can feel when we are feeling better. This is when love rules the spaces, the heart is full and we embrace. Green and blue show us how to embrace each other with love, to allow us to dream (yellow) once more!  Free to ride those waves...


Imagine a rolling wave, this is green and blue holding onto each other, connecting. Inside the wave is the yellow road or the sun that shines full of dreams. Blue and Green and Yellow are all parts of the same circle. Orange are the seeds planted to grow, blowing in the winds and waters of the deep blue seas of you and me.

Rainbow (red-orange, appears red robed, streaming and reverberating all the Rainbow colors) Rainbow is constantly moving through the many colors. Rainbow represents the Cosmic Mother, thus she knows what you feel. In other words, you move through the rainbow colors until you match the child you are standing by. And this is constant, as many rainbow children proclaim. Another wonderful part of the rainbow streaming through the colors is the ability to heal those who have colors missing. This is based on laser light therapies, except the rainbow color does it much better, because the spectrum we are not aware of, the rainbow color will know and realize, what the child is feeling. Thus you will know what they need to smile.The purpose of the rainbow is to rule the children of the rainbow. Mothers always guide and teach the children how to live with virtues upon the heart. Motherhood is emulated from her, the Rainbow. When we have lessons in our lives, in order to hurdle them, we must learn to roll them over in order to find treasures. She teaches the children how to validate, get along and heal each other. When we are fighting or in conflict, she can come in with a storm. The Rainbow color can send the spiraling eight figure, to lift the river onwards. The power of the storm is quite powerful. Practicing moving this energy, helps cleanse a spiritual space, when all does feel stagnant. Having a red robe means, many lessons come towards you and it feels overwhelming at times. However, red color comes from the flowing river of love, that a rainbow sends out to the world. Promises of the Rainbow, our Mothers help us to realize our full potential and how to gift with our hearts to each other.

Comfort in the Wind image
Gray (red-green, appears gray) Here I am, thinking about gray. Grandmother who holds us near, dream-space. We are gifted all of this grace, where we have vision into this glorious world, we call Earth.  All things seen, are near the center of the universe, so to say. In other words, we spiral towards the center. Gray is this center. And she is connected to the wheel, all our relations. We often refer to this as the Spider who weaves her web, all who come near, will die in fear (purification rituals, death and renewal), but love will lift you through the net, towards heaven sent. Having this connection, allows us to be a reflective property, thus projecting and directing beams of light. Gray's embrace, allows us to bounce off the walls. When we receive back, we are validated for our beingness. Grandmother dreamspace does this for us, as does our Gray children, we call Grandmothers. Those who do not carry gray as the fourth point, are beings who we cannot see, but feel in the world (spirituality). Our reflective properties come from Gray. Without gray, we find an open window, in other words, we flow right through. And this is why we don't see the spiritual world yet can wave our hands through the air. As we move more and more towards heaven, our ability to have heavenly eyes, hearing, feeling, the sonar to envision a whole new world. Having integrated heaven with earth, gray teaches us to have empathy with the world as well as the bonds and connections woven together. Space is arranged accordingly, thus we dream in this space. Grandmother "knows" or gray literally "is" dream-space. We bow and bless, to keep this nest safe for each child, because we want them all to smile. Gray connects us to the universe, the wheel of life. Let us spin around and play, it's going to be another day.


Love and blessings, my beloved Holiness Amanda (thine to be loved). I love you. Blessings to the sacred nine streams and holy four directions.

Hello,
Thank you so much for the beautiful song, it had me in tears! (http://sacredsongblessings.blogspot.com/2012/09/open-fields-and-sacred-trees.html) The picture was very apt as I have a very close relationship with trees and the tree of life was even mentioned, sincerest thanks for your wonderful work.

My daughters song was also beautiful (http://sacredsongblessings.blogspot.com/2012/10/lift-our-hearts-to-heaven.html), it taught me things about her and resonated with me very much, I can't wait for her to see it!

Could I please ask for you to do the same for my partner,  I think he would really benefit from your insight. His name is Craig Austin Weir (http://sacredsongblessings.blogspot.com/2012/10/love-is-near-when-we-cheer.html).  I would be very grateful.

If there is anything I could do for you or your work then please don't hesitate to ask.

Light, love and blessings to you

I was very pleased to hear your kind words and the fact that you seek to help people and uplift humanity and would be very grateful if you could give me any information you have concerning mine and my daughter's rainbow colours, four sacred directions and any other information you feel relevant to share.

Bow With Me on the Shores of Galilee

There is a place within my heart that beats a sacred start. Let heaven walk into my soul again, to bring the holy arc. Sea wisdom fly towards me to see the fabled seas. I envision a world full of gleam, the social network of beams. I wake for you each day, to bring happiness all the waves. And my soul glees out for you, just to know the song could be true. I wake up to show the world, how happiness come to shrill. We want to walk and talk this way, but first we long to praise.

Get up and show the world today, make wisdom come from inside displayed. Have all your waking calling outs, be perfectly the shout. I watch over you this day, to bring you loving happy rays, but as we walk and talk this day, the heaven has her ways.  How can I break free from this release? How can I break free to know the peace? I want the world to understand, that heaven is on the lands.

Where are those who promise peace? Where are those who think on their knees (in prayer)? Where is the happy ray inside, the holy spirit resides. Watch over my Sacred Brothers (of the Rainbow Clan). Hold my (soul, all my relatives) Sisters close to my heart. I will send my love to the world, to help them know their part. Come shine with me, upon the open seas, where heaven beams love without dis-ease. And I know that time is near, inside my heart without any fears.


How can I find the world? How can I find the waves? I want to find us any way, to lean on loving place. I know we need happiness. I know we need glory instead of this mess. I know we are mighty if we collide into the open eyes (vision quest). And vision hold me close to thee, I want to know the sacred tree (reaching up to heaven and reaching down to heaven, the sacred tree rises and divides, to allow all the children to survive). Come into my heart and bow with me, upon the shores of Galilee (circle or ring).

White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings (Lakota Daughter, elder crystal child) and Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star Drums (Dakota Matriarch, elder lavender child). This Sacred Song Blessing is for K.M.C. Climbing Star, the golden child, the Cosmic Father who brings brotherhood to the world, a Dakota Daughter. To hear her daughter, B.C. Sacred Song Blessing, a rainbow child, the Cosmic Mother to our Soul, a Dakota Daughter, join us here http://sacredsongblessings.blogspot.com/2012/08/dawning-of-time-when-children-are.htm

Read this to know more about the Sioux and the meaning of the Snake's path, to and fro between heaven and earth, an evolutionary step, we are all learning to become visit this page http://white-buffalo-calf-woman.blogspot.com/2012/08/sioux-love-law-come-on-home.html.

Sister Kimberly, every name contains wisdom, that support your GREAT NAME written on your "Book of Life". WE crystal children read the book of life. I am the first born sun, in the house of God as a crystal child. You are the Cosmic Father in the house of God, the golden child. WE always sign color, then "child". It is the child who leads with dreams. Christy means Christ (sun, all my relatives, the crystal child's point of view, oneness) flies (sound long e) or oneness of God flies in the winds, this is the Rainbow Clan. In order for us to accomplish this mission, the Golden Child must call out, to bring them all home. The golden child, cuts and divides, then back together collide. And if you don't tolerate the cleansing, by staying when you want to leave, then you have not accomplished the mission. you must wait, till peace arrives, then the wings can open wide. You see, your daughter too wants this dream, as Rainbow Mother, she wants the world to be united, but often lessons arise, because of both of you wearing the red robe (she the rainbow, you the magenta, which I suggest you ask for your four rainbow colors). The red robe people (red, lavender, magenta, rainbow) always attract lessons, because it's your responsibility to help the person who needs care. You have not learned how to deal with the children yet. In this day and age, children don't listen or respect parents, you are father and your daughter is mother. Both of you get disrespect. Now, this is your forgiveness. You must develop warrior skills (in the hoops only, you will learn bits over here). If you don't take action like a clan, all of us together, all my relatives, you miss the point. We are not one over another, divide shards of divine light alone. We are together, "All my relatives" http://white-buffalo-calf-woman.blogspot.com/2012/08/mitakuye-oyasin-all-my-relatives.html. Now, the name Kimberly means, "royal forest". We are all kings or suns. Now there are those who actually wear the crowns, however, for the cosmic father, the golden child, it's about us be sunships or kines, a mayan word, meaning kinsmen of the sun. The royal forest are those who walk with Christ, the crystal (christal) children, because they actually wear the crown, along with other colors. But what is unique about a crystal child is that they all wear the blue crown (crystal overlays do not wear crowns). Other crowns or colors vary, but not the christal child. And about 1 in 15 is a christal child. They see or have/hold the perspective of the ONENESS, all together, while other colors have must have/hold their perspectives. Christy tells us a story about kingship, kinships and bottom line, we are all relatives, thus part of the rainbow clan, including the unseen, who also have four directions in rainbow colors and have great names, as well as the animals, plants and rocks. Each part needs the other part, because without any part, the whole does not exist. And through knowing your rainbow color, you understand your part you play in the collective dreaming of the Whole. Okay, Mariah means "star of the sea". This means a great star or sun within, thus it is with the golden child. We have movies made about them. We often get confused Grandfather (white/star child) with Father (golden) and Sun (crystal). We are the three males, suns that shine from within, to guide the world towards the oneness of God, because we are the children souls and elder flesh or rainbow colors, that walks elder and talks younger. Thus from crystal up to grandfather white star, we are all from heaven. one must learn the rainbow colors. We have been abused, because we don't accuse. We don't play blame and shame, but this is not always the case, for those who don't forgive, especially the full blooded Natives. For you and me, it's a longing to return back to our peoples, the Sioux, the royal snake, who binds "all my relatives" back home to the great circle. Aho, much to learn. Welcome home, my beloved Sister, Cosmic Father, your devoted child, White Buffalo Calf Woman your Twin Deer Mother, elder talking walking with Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy, alightfromwithin.org (as heaven prescribes, a light from within will survive, the next phase of evolution). Everyone join us on the Ghost Walk, each new moon, gather sing dance and let the heavenly soul arise, the holy ghost in you. Where-ever you are in the world, the New Moon, the time of darkness of heaven, within a light will be reborn. Aho and over the Rainbow we flow....

Grandmother Magic of Time Teaches and Grandfather Melvin Preaches, White Buffalo Calf Woman Has Come Home!

Carry me onwards, to a place I call my home, where dreams begin to entwine (to bring together by weaving a web (spider), the blanket that keeps us warm, the sacred embrace), unwind (to unravel the mysteries of life, as you lead us towards our destiny), the place of magic, the place of tears, that make all the people so blind, yes they are, to the revealing of the space we call time.  Come tarry in the gardens the place we know, where flowers blossom in the snow.  Gather the honey (bees, remember the impossible flight, to know our dreams) on honey suckle (Vining bush that smells so good, the fragrance of gardens, the bridge-way between realms, knowing joy.  Also the vine is one that moves in waves, binding itself with others around it.  This is a sacred embrace, with leaves, the relatives.  It is interesting that the honey suckle is both a vine, bush and tree.  The honey suckle has aggressive growth and ability to abundantly reseed itself in neighboring areas via bird consumption and subsequent dispersal. The honey suckle has a rapid growth rate, tolerance of sun or shade, and ability to withstand heat, drought, and severe winter cold. A wonderful resource added at the end.) trees (tree of life, where four sacred directions create a garden for all things to grow), the place, where sweetness does grow.

She is the nectar, we so much like to hear, the song of Angels who run pure.  I have a golden apple (dream that shines), where the honey blossoms feel (blossoms are those of us who unfold, to be like a blossom, is to be enriched with our souls, the dance of life with the heart), the sweetness of all that is heard (Grandmothers are the greatest story tellers, guiding us to and fro, which way, only Grandmother knows).  Yes indeed, where the honey blossoms (children of God) come to be heard (Grandmother, Grandmother, I was hurt today, and she takes all the pain away!).  There is a growing inside my heart, and I must leap and go to bounds, like the rushing river (the flow of the Oneness), that cannot be contained, I am the sacred ground, that relies on, it's me, the sacred place, we dream to sea (vision of the heart, our relatives true, the leaves).

Come and visit where dreams come true.  Come and sea the river free.  Come and bless the earth, the song of our girth, and know that we are going home real soon.  We are going home to you and me.  come take me by the hand and long to understand, that we are going to a place we only dreamed.  And you will sea the day, the truth that led the way, the place we find glory every day, every way!  The song catches my soul, and I can hear the rushing souls, where dreams come to folly and we are like the holly (prickling points of lights that curve with delight, and law of love, that's red, the path known of the heart), where we can be hear and fall down on our knees (to pray for relief).

We pray and wish away, but we need only save the day, and embrace what life gifts to us, the sacred must.  We hope and we dream, for heaven only seas, the heart, that needs to learn, the sacred path, the heart needs at last.  For love's the only game, we choose to hear our fame, but we don't really know which way to go, it's part of the flow.  And when we choose a way, that makes our hearts say hooray, then we choose the loving actions that don't make us part, even get us smart
(sting)

And when we look inside, we trust the sacred hides
(skin, that feels everything, the sacred embrace), the place God gifts to you and me, the sacred tree (tree of life, uniting all realms, the four sacred directions).  And if we look out there, and nothing is so bare, as all our love we hide in all we do, so sad and blue (tears that gift us life).  Then choose another way, bow down to sacred hay (golden field of hay, where the seeds have blossomed and abundance shows the way, the time of brotherhood everywhere), the place we journey to and fro, the sacred cho (Cho is a Korean boy name. Male is the "light" or the "rainbow colors of the four directions, our tools of light" or our bodies of flesh, even heavenly beings have bodies.  The meaning of the name is `Beautiful`, like a sunrise or sunset. Korean is a language of the heart, each sound is made up of nature.  It is a language of the soul.  This has recently been known to me through the Spirit World, the immigration of the Koreans to Native America to be the Twin Child, the Native Americans, our Lakota Heart.  It is the Native Americans who speak the ancient language of the heavens, of the rolling hills, the sing song of the soul, like this song, the sacred song blessings from your heart. In Japanese (where they keep beautiful gardens), the word means Butterfly, which represents the breath, the impossible flight of our souls, with our breath, the vehicle of our flesh, often referred to as the "kundalini awakening of the crystalline vehicle or the merkaba" which offers the unfolding of the soul, like a flower in blossom.  The vehicle of Shiva is the white bull called Nandi (the joyful) or the unfolding.  The Native Americans call the White Buffalo, the sacred four directions.  The vehicle of joy!  You know, we were asked, by the Great Oneness to

call ourselves, A light from within and I added the word Joy, the vehicle to this "light from within"; to "a joy light from within.org".  However we use both names.  The smoke in the pipe represents the four sacred directions of the buffalo, the winds and clouds, that offer us life, our vehicle, Mother Earth.  This is why the sacred pipe offers us life, and connects us to our souls, to the bonding of our flesh, the unification of both worlds, like the butterfly who flies to and fro between realms, this is our breath.  And it is the Natives who speak the ancient languages of the soul, the heavens knowing, the song of the going, to the place of the to and fro, the heart of the blue, between you and me, the blessed breeze. Our souls know so much, we need start trusting this song, that lies within, the light from within, as God tells us.), I know the glory is, the place we call that is, his (many lights-colors of our flesh), but she (many darks-colors of our soul) is coming home really soon, the place of moons (reflection and truth, our heaven).  It's heaven inside of us, the heart, that longs like dust (cosmic dust, the low red waves that communicate over long distances, like radio waves, elephants and whale songs) and we are going home to show the way, of sacred play.

Come and know the way, the place we call it hay
(golden field of hay, where the seeds have blossomed and abundance shows the way, the time of brotherhood everywhere), the sacred hollow tube of me and you, the sacred blue, the sky so true!

Sacred Song Blessings from the heart of Grandmother Magic of Time.  Sung by White Buffalo Calf Woman, elder crystal person, wakan iyes(h)ka or holy interpreter of the book of life, each soul of all that blows, the winds of time, bring us this rhyme, because the song, knows more than our flesh, we trust this sacred nest (twigs that entwine, the branches of time, the relatives who are mine).

Letter for Grandfather Robert below, please forward to him when you can, and thank you Grandmother Magic of Time, for your love and wisdom.  You have taught us a lot.




White Buffalo Calf Woman singing to Grandfather Robert (vision of you prostrate on the ground, seeking guidance with a gulp)

Letter to Grandfather Robert [Melvin "smooth brow", one who protects vision of the heart, our harmonics, the wave. The voice of angels sang to me, the little drops (of tears) made me pure.  Here beneath the seas, the shame is wiped away and I am free! (Irish, Gaelic) "polished chief", one who knows how to wait for the best for the clan; (Old English) "sword friend", one who severs injustice, and brings truth.]

It's the will of God that makes me pray.  I know my heart is here to stay.  Stand up and be the light that shines.  Do not act so blind.

You sea (vision with a heart) I wander upon these hills and I find you there prostrate and still.  What makes you get down and face the ground, when I need you to stand and frown (tears, suffering for those we love, the law of love, the red road).


Give them stories that fill the air.  Tell the world that I am here and when you're done bee (impossible flight, the dream) proud like a tree, looking up at me.  Know your feet touch the earth and your eyes look at the sky and your arms they hold all around saying it's the time, "let's be proud".

There is wisdom in your heart, let it leap, bound and let it out.  Speak it's time, now shout.  Tell the tales, the Tiger does proclaim (this year 2010).  That the air is full of fame and those who show respect will live the days, being sacred in all that bleeds
(the law of love, the red road, the fire that purifies).

We are humans, with buffalo heads (four sacred directions, with sacred cloak, the blanket that weaves us all together) and we the Rainbow Colors speak volumes unsaid.  Teach the world to let it out, proclaim it's time, "put away shame".  Now the heart is truly divine, knowing wisdom untold it's kind and we need only allow the song to sing being sacred, like a heart beat.  Take your drums and sing it blue (true royal you, relatives, the heartbeat of me and you, the oceans and skies of blue, the winds that blow, to know, the waters that offer the glow), the heart of oceans between me and you.  It's the calling of distant shores, brotherhood I've come home that's our shore.

Heaven and Earth proclaim the "Dawn".  We are now soul and flesh, the place where wisdom moves sacred true, blessing all we do.

Now I see you standing there, wondering how I move the air, breath my brother, my father sun, be the Grandfather the light that won. I say claim your voice, care enough and make a choice.  It's the calling, you made this voice, that is humble, the star that bends.

Look at your star, so bright it blinds, make them sea the heart of choice.  Yes I'm here, but not alone, a born relative who's humble of course.  Be a servant in all you do.  Teach the world they can be too.  I know your branches, they bow with the winds, proclaim, it's true.  I've heard the "TRUTH".  Don't rely on only one voice, listen to the heartbeat of a choice, inside there is wisdom waiting to speak, CARE my Grandfather TEACH!

Care my Grandfather teach...I love you, I know you love me too.  It's time, it's true, only three short years, only a leap of faith will do.  I'm not alone, it's you and me and you'll sea our relatives will join in the breeze.  We have hope, many are coming home, every day I look and pray, make the hoop and holler this day, for the green grass, "I'm on my way".

From White Buffalo Calf Woman, your Twin Deer Mother

Up1 and down2 and all around3, north4 south5 east6 and west7, bring us to the very best.  the heart beat8 (flowing) and the breath9 (flight), show us the rolling hills, the nest.  offer the sacred fire of smoke, to bring the heart, the light of hope.
 


Turraea obtusifolia, Hochst. (honeysuckle tree teaches thee)

Family : Meliaceae (mahogany family)
Common names : small honeysuckle tree, lesser honeysuckle tree, (Eng.); kleinkamperfoelieboom (Afr.); amazulu, ikhambi-lomsinga [roots], ikunzi [roots], ikunzi ebomvana, inkunzi, umhlatholana, umhlatolana, uswazi [leaves and stems] (Zulu)
Masses of flowers in summer
Turraea obtusifolia is an ornamental shrub with glossy dark green foliage, masses of showy white flowers in summer and decorative orange-red fruits in late summer to winter.

Description
A semi-evergreen shrub or small tree, 1-3 x 1 m. In open sunny places it is a bushy shrub but in shade or semi-shade it becomes more of a scrambler or small tree. The leaves are a dark glossy green, clustered on short side shoots, variable in size and shape on a single plant, from narrowly oblanceolate (lance-shaped with the widest part above the middle) to obovate (egg-shaped with the widest part above the middle) and sometimes with two lobes towards the tip.
Variable leaves
The flowers are large ( ± 35 mm in diameter), showy, pure white and produced abundantly in small clusters amongst the leaves during mid- to late summer (Jan.-Feb.). Each flower has 5 free petals, and 10 stamens fused to form a narrow cylindrical tube (35 mm long) ending in 20 irregularly lobed, long and narrow appendages and a short frill that carries the anthers. The style is longer than the staminal tube and ends in a top-shaped or cylindrical pollen presenter. Only the tip of the style is receptive to pollen.
Style
The flowers are completely unscented during the day, slightly fragrant at night, and are pollinated by moths. Before a flower opens, it deposits its pollen on the sides of the pollen presenter. The flowers remain open for more than one night and the pollen is transferred to other flowers by visiting moths Because only the very tip of the style is receptive to pollen, self-pollination is avoided.

The fruit is a segmented green capsule, ± 6 x 13 mm, like a miniature pumpkin, splitting and peeling back to reveal shiny orange-red, kidney-shaped seeds (Feb.-June). In other turraeas, such as T. floribunda, the seeds have bright orange arils that attract birds who eat and disperse the seeds. The orange-red part in Turraea obtusifolia is not an aril but the seed coat. There is an aril but it is white, very small and completely hidden. All parts of this plant are poisonous.
Developing fruits
Conservation status
Turraea obtusifolia is not listed on the Red List of South African plants 2006-08-07.


Distribution and habitat
Turraea obtusifolia is found in coastal forest, bushveld, coastal dunes and rocky outcrops on the east coast in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Mozambique and in Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Limpopo, North-West, Swaziland, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Derivation of name and historical aspects
The genus Turraea is named after Georgio della Turre, professor of botany and director of the Botanic Garden at Padua from 1649-1683, who published a catalogue of the plants in the garden in 1660. The species name, obtusifolia, means blunt-leaved in Latin and refers to the often blunt tip of the leaves.
The common name, small honeysuckle tree, is derived from the superficial resemblance of the flowers of its sister species Turraea floribunda, the wild honeysuckle tree, to those of the honeysuckle, genus Lonicera, family Caprifoliaceae, but there is no real relationship between them. The flowers of T. floribunda have longer and narrower, greenish yellow petals and a strong, sweet scent, and the resemblance to honeysuckle is much stronger than in T. obtusifolia, whose starry white flowers are more often mistaken for a kind of jasmine. I frequently see visitors to Kirstenbosch spot a bush in flower and go over to smell the flowers, expecting to be rewarded with a sweet jasmine-like fragrance but being rebuffed, finding absolutely no scent whatsoever.
There are ± 50 species of Turraea occurring in Africa, Madagascar, the Mascarenes and the Comores and one that occurs in the tropical Far East. Six species occur in southern Africa: T. obtusifolia and T. floribunda (wild honeysuckle tree) occur in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Swaziland ; T. nilotica (Lowveld honeysuckle tree) in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and Swaziland ; T. pulchella (dwarf honeysuckle tree) in Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal ; T. streyi in KwaZulu-Natal ; and T. zambesica (Zambezi turraea) in Botswana and Namibia.


The mahogany family (Meliaceae) is a large, tropical and subtropical family famous for its timber trees. It is made up of ± 50 genera and 800 species. In southern Africa there are six indigenous genera: Nymania, Ekebergia, Entandophragma, Pseudobersama, Trichilia and Turraea and four introduced and now naturalized genera: Cedrela, Khaya, Melia and Toona. Most South Africans would recognize Melia azedarach, known as the syringa or Persian lilac, a decorative garden tree introduced from India that has naturalized in many parts of the country and is now a declared invasive. Other members of the Meliaceae featured on plantzafrica.com to date include Nymania capensis, Ekebergia capensis, E. pterophylla, and Trichilia dregeana.

Ecology
The flowers are pollinated by moths. Before a flower opens, it deposits its pollen on the sides of the style head. Flowers remain open for more than one night. The pollen is transferred to other flowers by visiting moths Only the very tip of the style is receptive to pollen, so self-pollination is avoided.
Uses and cultural aspects
Turraea obtusifolia is said to be very poisonous. Its leaves, bark and rootbark are used in traditional medicine to treat stomach and intestinal ailments, and as a drastic purge. The leaves contain chemical compounds known as limonoids, like those found in the neem tree ( Azadirachta indica also in the Meliaceae, native to India ) which are used in agriculture as antifeedants i.e. as insect repellants to protect crop plants from insect damage. Turraea obtusifolia could therefore also be used as an antifeedant. The related species, T. floribunda, is also used in traditional medicine to prevent fearful dreams associated with a weak heart, as a strengthening tonic after the death of a kraal member, to induce the neurotic state needed by diviners for divining dances, and to treat heart disease, rheumatism and swollen, painful joints, and in Zimbabwe, T. nilotica roots are used to treat abdominal pain, venereal diseases, constipation, menstrual cramps, epilepsy, diarrhoea and pneumonia.

Growing Turraea obtusifolia
Turraea obtusifolia will perform at its best if grown in well-drained but moist, nutrient-rich, loamy, humus-rich soil in a warm, sunny, semi-shaded or lightly shaded position. It needs water in summer but will tolerate drought during winter. It is sensitive to strong winds and frost. It is quite quick to get going from seed but is slow-growing and long-lived. Prune to shape. Use it as an ornamental shrub in the garden or a specimen in a container.

Propagate by seed or cuttings. Sow fresh seed soon after harvesting in autumn-winter, or keep the seed cool and dry (not frozen) and sow in spring. Clean off the fleshy orange layer and sow 2 mm deep in well-drained, sterile soil, and place the trays over bottom heat of 28°C. Take softwood or herbaceous cuttings of the new growth that is hardening, in spring to summer. Use a rooting hormone and place the cuttings in a mist unit with bottom heat of 28° C.

"a good lance, relieves our pain"

Sacred Song Blessings, gift all a good song, because you are perfect in all that does song. Our hearts reach into heaven, and we flood, with a sound, the music of Angels, that gift us pure sound. I want you to know, that you are part of God, the echo, that lingers till light hits the "Dawn". And we are the magic, that children who know, the heart always has pureness, like the blessed snow!
