Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy.
Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.
The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely.
Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad.
However, the family still did not get to see father for most of the week. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager. In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, he enrolled for another course in the open university.
Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.
Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Jubilantly, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough, it would be nice for his family to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a condominium. Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, Father resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get to see much of him. In fact, sometimes Father had to work on Sundays entertaining clients. Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.
As expected, Father’s hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore. On the first Sunday evening at their new home, Father declared to his family that he decided not to take anymore courses or pursue any more promotions. From then on he was going to devote more time to his family.
Sending you many Great Spirit Blessings my precious brothers and sisters...Stay safe and Happy Weekend....With honor and respect always...Carol Anne..,You run from it. You cry because of it. You work to forget it. You are lonely because of it. You deny it too. But it haunts you every day. It is the small place inside of you that feels a little sad all the time. A place that feels a little unfulfilled. A place that you can never fill for it is always empty. Yet it is from this place you remember the profound truth of who you are. It is from this place that you remember your cosmic origins. You remember you are a cosmic wanderer. This place (Earth) is not your home. It is a substitute for now and a beautiful one at that. But it falls short to fill the spot that is always empty. Try as you will it never fills up. No matter how hard you try. No matter how much you sacrifice. No matter how much you give. No matter how far you travel. But it is the deep loneliness that is your ticket home. It is important you remember this and don’t hide from your cosmic heritage. It is your ticket home and home is remembering. Your not just of Earth, Flesh and Blood you are of the Stars too. And it is only then, when you own your cosmic-ness that you will feel fulfilled and at home. Loneliness will be a dream of the past, and Being on Earth and being human will become a blessing too. So look up in the sky and the stars and let go of a little bit of the gravity and weight of being human. Remember that your presence on Earth lightens the load of Earth and all its life - including yours. Remembering your cosmic heritage is the return of the Star Elders, Return of the Maya, The Inca, The Christ. You just forgot for a brief second that this is also YOU! ~~Aluna Joy

� My Father, Great Spirit,
Who send'est the wind and the White Snow from the north,To make thy creation clean and pure,
Father, make me clean and pure within my heart, That I may be accepted in thy sight and judgement.

To the east from whence cometh the rising of the sun, and all thy living creation,
Thou hast added another day to my life,for which I give thee Thanks with all my heart
