#elders
Everything that comes from the earth will return to the earth. We should be able to realize the connectedness to the earth. We should be able to feel toward Her just like She is our real Mother. We can easily feel this connectedness if we can answer these three questions: why am I?, who am I?, and where am I going? If we cannot answer these questions, then perhaps we need to talk to the Elders. Go to the Elders and ask, “Grandfather, why am I?; Grandmother, who am I?; Oh Great One, where am I supposed to go?”
The #Elders will help us with these three questions.
#Grandfather, #help me to stay centered #today...
Tata Pedro speaks on How To Live. ❤❤❤
Tata Pedro Cruz is one of the few surviving members of the Mayan Council of the Elders of Tz’utujil, which is a branch of the Maya Qui-che. “Tata Pedro,” as he is most affectionately known, is a traditional Mayan Ajq’ij and Day Keeper, and one of the principal authorities of the Council of #Mayan #Elders of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. He received the title “Heart of the Lake Atitlan” K’U’XYA by his fellow Mayan Council of Elders and Tz’utujil people.
Tata Pedro has travelled far and wide sharing knowledge, ceremonies, and practices. He is the interpreter of dreams for his community and a leader of the preservation and education of Mayan day keeping and fire ceremonies.

Refugia
Our documentary series, Refugia, is available to stream worldwide via Waterbear https://join.waterbear.com/. Through a positive lens, Refugia’s founder, Liana Cornell, activates her inescapable urge to do more, and gains a deeper understanding of the current crises in nature, and the people devoted to preventing them.
From the perspective of the five elements present in every living thing – earth, air, fire, water, spirit – Refugia reveals the good work undertaken by unsung, everyday heroes. We also celebrate communities and companies dedicated to nurturing nature, and preserving these pockets of protection.
Cinematically stunning, bold, personal and evocative, Refugia illuminates their rewarding stories, and inspires us to realise that we are the solution. When we react with action, we unite in a compassionate, global collective, creating continuing, constructive change.
To do so is in our nature… and our nature is in us.
Refugia would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work. We would also like to pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

Phoned a friend earlier looking for a rat trap.
You know, the cagey one that catches them alive for relocation.
Anyway, he told me he has been busted.
Can you imagine, weed plants in full bloom after the hottest, driest summer ever?
They must have been the best outdoor crop know to man in this usually wet and cold country.
Taken away... Oh nooooooo. nooooooooo ...
