Hopi & Tibetan Prophecy

today i left orcas island and arrived in seattle to do some final preparations before serving at a meditation course on July 20th. before leaving orcas i received the blessing of some important elders there. i felt compelled to give them gifts as a token of my respect for them. the woman who i saw today i gave an aloe vera plant and some dried nettle. to the others i brought dried seaweed, coconut chips, goat cheese, dried eucalyptus leaves, and a piece of my artwork. i was given arnica oil and valuable spiritual support.
the trip to seattle was fortuitous. i got a ride to the ferry from some sweet hippies from ohio. i gave them a pouch of dried coconut. on the ferry i found a ride with a woman now living in seattle, who's daughter knew my younger bro in high school! i gave her five bucks for gas, which she reluctantly accepted. people are so nice! i was thinking, "asking for help creates a world in which we help each other".



recently my attention has been brought to the hopi prophecy of the 'fifth hoop'. when i googled it i found this page.


"We will awaken our Spirits again. When that happens, things will be revealed of the old wisdoms. Things that have been forgotten for a long time are going to be brought back – art, music, song, dance, storytelling, spiritual wisdom, knowledge - and the wisdom of how to work with Mother Earth will all be restored..."
