Sacred Ceremony: Remembering the Ancestors

The Ancestors who shared their Compassionate Love are waiting to be Seen and Acknowledged on the other side.

Millions were lost without the time or breath to offer their deathbed confession. Something is always left unsaid.

Our Grandmothers and Grandfathers (the Mature adults who were no longer in charge) tried the best they could without crossing the lines. Surely every Grandparent has tried to speak between the lines. See if you don’t remember how they tried to let you know they were standing in your corner.

The Living are the Only ones who can let them know you heard and you remember. Give thanks with a gift you bring to the altar in Sacred Exchange. They may tell you what it is.

The work below it’s always a matter of blood, sweat and tears. It hardly looks divine. The Blessings of Spirit come after. God knows when Time is chosen for a Sacred Purpose and step by step we carried it to the end. So can God speak between the lines, through the beauty of Mother Earth.
