Medicine for the Earth

Sandra Ingerman shares “In my dream, the angel shruggedand said

if we fail this time it will be a failure of imagination

and then she placed the world gentlyin the palm of my hand”.How often do we take the time to imagine? As life in nature around us slips into a deep sleep un-der a blanket of snow we are invited to slow down, rest and dream. While on a ski one day thissong came to me and perhaps it will speak to you!

Journey to the Cave of Miracles and Dreams

On a day when I was feeling overwhelmed, my spirit helper led me to the Cave of Miracles andDreams. As I entered the cave, I felt an immediate weight lift off of my shoulders. I heard beautifulmelodies and felt the presence of other dreamers. I began imagining all of the miracles I desiredin my life, in the lives of my family, community and on the Earth. Afterwards, life was not so over-whelming as I regained my enthusiasm and wonder. When I am in this cave I weave new dreamsand spin new webs for myself, my community and the planet! I imagine these dreams as thoughthey are happening now! What is in your Cave of Miracles and Dreams?

Cloth of Dreams

When my grandmother was in her 70

s her mission was to make a quilt for all of her children,grandchildren and great grandchildren. The quilt from my grandmother has become everyonesfavorite blanket in our household. When we are sick, feeling low or lonesome, we reach for theold quilt, which is getting a bit tattered after 20 years. On the bottom right corner there is a labelthat says “Made by Grandma with LOVE”. When we wrap ourselves in Grandma

s quilt, we feelthe love that went into every stitch and the dreams she held for us.What would it be like if we wove our own cloth of dreams? After spending time in the Cave ofMiracles and Dreams, choose some coloured yarn and/or various coloured bits and pieces ofcloth that inspire you. Create a cloth of your dreams by gluing or sewing pieces together on topof larger piece of cloth, creating a mosaic of your dreams. As you weave, glue or sew, focus oneach dream during the process. The cloth may become a cover for your dream journal, or a clothfor your alter, a scarf, pillow case or something you put on your car mirror or keychain! Keepyour cloth of dreams close to you, where you will be reminded of them….And watch your dreamsunfold!
