TURTLE ISLAND CONFEDERACY UPDATES!
TICON

Language Use November 16, 2007

Kevin:  She:kon:  Yes.  i agree with your words.  There is a new day dawning, a New Spirit infusing itself into this world that will enable all true humans to "demonstrate the joy of Creation" as you say.  This New Spirit will express itself through all language, whether our ancient tongues or English or Polish or Swahili.  Is this not how we achieve the "affirmation of spirit" that you describe?  First, we must burn through the old skin covering the Sacred Knowledge that was left with the Indigenous Peoples, to allow it breath the new air and to see the new sky and to speak the old words (that will seem new to us who have been walking in the shadows for so long now).  The old words have been waiting to be released to become new again through our good minds and pure hearts.  i would be pleased if others would share their thoughts on this as well.
 Peace and Love.  Onenkiwahi!  Tony P.
