Who are the Warriors?
I had a dream last night and felt the need to ask this question, because of it...Who are the warriors?Every person in the rainbow family is important and each person has his/her place.So before you decide to go down south to Waveland or somewhere else to help with the hurricane relief, ask your self this...Is this the place I am suppose to be?Bliss Ninnies beware...This is not a gathering, and you will be surrounded by cops and military.There is very little chance to do anything but give of yourself.There is a much more relaxing environment gathering together as I speak...The Shawnee Gathering is going on. And there are lots of good family there...So before you decide which of these two things you wish to join, ask your self these questions first.Have I ever lived off the grid for any amount of time?Have I ever been a working part of a kitchen till the end of a gathering?Have I ever stayed for clean-up?Am I willing to work a straight 20 hours with-out a 'safety meeting'?Am I healthy enough to go into the most toxic place in the US.?Can I leave my dog with someone?Do I own a pair of boots?Can I deal with cops on a daily basis? These are but a few of the questions a person should ask themselves before jumping into something so much bigger than themselves need warriors down south badly, should we burden these people if we can't take care of ourselves don't want to discourage anyone to come help, I just want you to be sure anyone going down knows, this is HARD work. The people going down need to be willing to work with other groups besides the family, and help to keep the main goal into focus...To Help those that lost everything dear to them!So now is the time for the Rainbow Warriors to unite and stand strong...Let's share the Love...
