Interconnectedness of Life

Native American wisdom about the interconnectedness of all life


Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

My thoughts:
Whatever I do I must make sure my actions and thoughts are with logic, reasoning, science, an open mind, feeling of and need to be connected with society to gain tolerance and learn not to be indifferent, which develops a newness of faith/essence to inner being... bringing all sides (and other levels) together before acting upon anything in haste. These are but just small fractions of des colores. How one looks at a prism and interprets the colors therein and out as light refracts is a precious thing never to misuse.


I was once told never to pray for patience because once one did so, trials and tribulations and going through the fire to be refined would be the process of gaining patience. Well, I still prayed for patience and what was discovered.... Patience really is a virtue.

What "thread" am I... or shall I ask what color fragment of the prism are we all? Looking beyond gray is a beautiful element of expanding the mind beyond the mere small part we were told we could use.

Random quotes to start my morning:


"I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there can be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow human being, let me do it now." -- William Penn


"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity." -- Horace Mann

"A day is a span of time no one is wealthy enough to waste." -- Anon

"One day, with life and heart, is more than time enough to find a world." -- James Russell Lowell


Favorite quote of the day:

"Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice.
But for those who love, time is not."
-- Henry van Dyke

Movie - The King (no, not Elvis)

Movie I'd like to watch
Category: Religion and Philosophy

Here is a movie that I'd like to watch because it reminds me of some of the things that go on in the undercurrents of some "practices" of jaded and tainted faith that I've experienced through the hands of others and that I also watched happen to friends, family and "visitors"...

If I ever do get to watch it... I'll let ya know what is thought. So far it has markings of being marked on target of activities and thought process of some within certain places.

If anyone finds offense in the movie selection... sorry, but I shoot straight from the hip and need no help of a target finder to beam in on the object that pertains to wrongful undercurrents.

If you ever watched it or plan on it... feel free to share your "review", mini-review or just thought(s) no matter if you speak with elegance, plain chit chat tongue or whatever.

NA teachings -reflection

Native American Wisdom about life

What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Crowfoot, Blackfoot Tribal Chief

~~~~~~~~~~

Just be.... live a good life, order, civil and social justice... be a peaceful person seeking serinity... no golden calfs... don't seek signs and wonders, let them find you which is just nature in itself. Enjoy the scenery. Being too "religiousity" (faith, seculars, advanced arts and studies, peaceseekers, atheist, agnostics, alternatives, new age, mystics, and beyond) gets you shut off from society/isolation... no more "them against us"... we're here together... Middle path... yin and yang. Including relationships between man, woman, child and every living thing... Remove the inner core and the flow of the wheel is off center of the entire universe.

Sustain each other and yourselves... if you're not healed you have elders, herbs, eastern and western medicine blended to help. Too much carbs will keep and make you fat unless you are an athelete with the right muscle structure.. study the science of how the body works.

Learn about all ancient cultures and people of now who walk a peaceful path.

We were all wronged globally from the beginning until now... let it rest... let civil and social justice do its just cause peacefully with integrity.

Music style - is it relevant


I try to avoid music with lyrics that sing about violence and turning into something of animalistic destructive natures. The music we listen to does effect our general well being... a friend of mine told me this a while back and I took it to heart and started expanding music selections.

Music can calm you, arouse your senses or make one into something that has hate for peace and serenity.

So honor is due to my friend (Jay) who I really didn't keep full contact with, yet he was very close, buisiness friendship that was balanced with the principals.

When at work... work, work with a little happy mood that keeps the mind "moving' with happiness" and there is a good ground basis for happy environmental atmospheres/attitudes. I don't put the music loud though... barely loud enough to enhance the senses yet not loud enough to shut off the "work" element.



Peace, health and happiness...

Piggin Project Failures - what happened to old methods?

What needs to be found is who ran the “piggin project” and didn’t report weakness in the line! I won’t say what that means but they know what methods that are used to test the pipe stability.

Who failed to stay on task? Who else worked with that staff and failed to report it also unless it was a method for “spill response” team to get overtime. ***I need a new snow machine or want a new big boy toy so let’s disrupt some line subtly so that a “spill response team” can clean it up and work overtime for those big boy toys.***

Prevent clean ups by ridding of the human element that causes Discordia. Be selective in screening in who is in charge of reading the test results and who conducts the tests on such major projects. Some silent method to trigger if a human fails to report anything like such things.

Back up and watch all data in multiple layers as a fail proof system to multi-level checks and balances.

Major Alaskan oil field shutting down

By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press Writer 14 minutes ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - In a sudden blow to the nation's oil supply, half the production on Alaska's North Slope was being shut down Sunday after BP Exploration Alaska, Inc. discovered severe corrosion in a Prudhoe Bay oil transit line.

Oil is thicker than water

Oil is thicker than water and gas… when oil is taken out and replaced with water or gas, the earths surface will heat up quicker. That oil, a type of thick insulation acts as natures way to keep heat exchange down.

Example… a few years back, Alaska didn’t have enough snow fall to help protect the surface layer from freezing… temps dropped, the water lines and sewer systems froze. Even the main city lines and septic tanks. Now consider using that in reverse. Always think in opposites. Reverse technology works… yin/yang. Always think of the opposite reasoning to think of a balancing measure.

Removing the oil which is thicker than water and gas… you remove the right amount of viscosity (is that the right word?). Yeah, a heated liquid that is viscous. No refrigeration needed to keep that thickness. Ok, remove that heavy thick liquid and it will causes the “wobble" of the earth and tilting of the poles. Ok, ok, a laughable thought, so, joking aside... no more warm blanket of thick oil, earth's inner core temps rise to the surface and melting of glaciers happen, upon other things. A ricochet effect that attributes to total meltdown. This then can possibly be another factor when evaluating reasons for the earth's surface heating up.

Simple science that I often wondered about.

Maybe I'm wrong on some things but, eh... I'm just me... I was a simple housewife, former (North) slope widow, who is now in transition to a new beginning and am happy to be alive.
