Hello gathered ones, I attended the Standing Women prayer at Cherokee, North Carolina. It was a blessed gathering. Fifteen in all, and we decided to make it a tradition. Starting out on my journey I stopped to rescue a box turtle from the road. Then I looked up turtle in my totem book and this is what it said: keynote - motherhood, longevity, awakening to opportunities. Cool, huh? As we prayed I pictured the prayer as a band of candles lighting its way across the globe in the same way a wave cheer circles a stadium. From the heavens it must have been beautiful, eh? I would like to hear from others about their gatherings. Peace and good will, BeeSeer
