Healing Happens Together

Ancestor Speaks: “If you want the help, we will give it to you. Not how you think, but we will give it. Many are not asking for help, from us (ancestors), or from others (people). Ah, this is why you have this deep sadness, this is why you feel alone. It is not because of the things you’ve been through in life—yes this is important, it is because you don’t have each other to heal with. Healing for one takes many.

Ah, we will tell you, again and again, there are no ‘one's', not in the universe, not on this planet and not in you. Ah, even you, you are made up of many. Do you know this? Do you try to understand this? When you do, you will not only understand yourself better but also accept this life, this path, this walk, and then the long sleep [death].

Ah, me? I love all the people. Even the treacherous ones, because I know that their heart is made of many. Even their skin and actions, have too many what you call ‘cells’ but I call stories.

There is the story of ‘you’ and the story of the people, all of the people, and you are in this long story which never ends. Ah, how I love the stories, life!

You see that tree right there? Ah, it has a story, and stories within stories. You must learn your story and know your song. When you begin to understand your story within stories and the longest story of life, you can better understand others. Then you will know, that 'other' is just a word and you will see how deeply you are attached, truly attached to each other and how even your stories come together in certain parts.

Yes, you’ve been given a mouth but remember to keep it shut too. Don’t eat all the time, don’t speak all the time. Silence isn’t silence, it is listening and your mouth can hear too. Stories travel through what you call ‘air’, we call this wind and sometimes life’s breath.

For us, no matter where we went, travelled to or were taken from, we never forgot our stories and could learn and understand others’ stories too. When you hear and speak stories, you are never lost, you are never alone. You will never feel forgotten or ignored, because you know there’s a place for you in the story and stories.

The wind carries stories too! You don’t need 'news'! The wind will tell you what is happening ‘over there’. You will feel stories, even one’s that you haven’t heard or don’t perceive as hearing. One flow -- blood and water. Wind does not flow, it dances carrying truths to and from lands and soils, in and through bodies. The wind hears you.

Rescue the helpers--birds and fish, buck and hippos. For you are beast too. You do not experience breath, you are breath. You do not experience ‘empathy’, you are empathy.

If you feel sick, very sad, lost and confused, you do so because the stories must be heard and spoken, shared and received. Healing happens together—always together”.
