Music heals, and there was so much love there. I love that song, too. And I still play it from one of my blogs posted that weekend.

It’s supposed to be for great attitude/ gratitude, which I think is something behind any great blog; yours is just the way I like a blog to be: well-written, interesting, funny and wackily right on.... As the word verfification I need to type in below says: "herlike". That could only happen on your blog Reya.....<br /><br />So-here's what I'm supposed to say as part of this: Further participation on your part (your own top 10, links, logo, and so on) is entirely optional; my goal was to send as many readers as possible, who hadn’t already heard of you, your way.fern's grottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909751846161256852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-36881839006431260342009-05-27T23:56:14.888-04:002009-05-27T23:56:14.888-04:00Reya,

I wondered at the time if that would have any last effect.<br /><br />I also think that electing a president who is not part of the Vietnam War generation created an energetic shift. It was Obama running against someone who had been a POW in Vietnam. In fact, John McCain was so brutally tortured that he was permanently injured - he can not raise his hands above his head.<br /><br />The last presidential race in 2004 also included a Vietnam War vet - John Kerry - who also lost.<br /><br />Who knows what happened - but these are the theories I'm entertaining at the moment.<br /><br />Thanks Dani!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-55499650671447813592009-05-27T18:18:11.655-04:002009-05-27T18:18:11.655-04:00Hi Reya,

Maybe you don't give yourself enough credit- maybe you *did* have some sort of influence?? <br /><br />I think it's great that you have moved on to places with "healing and harmonizing energy"- it seems to be a good change for you. <br /><br />If you're planning on taking a trip to the Korean War memorial, please let me know, or if you feel compelled to work with the ghosts of OIF and OEF. <br /><br />Hugs, DaniDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07863966078038166040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-32973153432863809512009-05-27T17:27:03.959-04:002009-05-27T17:27:03.959-04:00I wonder why the energy around the Vietnam Memoria...I wonder why the energy around the Vietnam Memorial has changed?

The Nepalese shaman bows his head entranced and allows the goddess to climb onto his shoulders for a ride. The purbha contains and directs the energy. If you would like one to try out, just let me know which kind and where I should send it. But, if you use it, I want to hear the story.Butternut Squashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703748547994069092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-20917785410774935772009-05-27T12:21:31.174-04:002009-05-27T12:21:31.174-04:00P.S.

The realms in which we work are not defined by exact science and math. Although, some of those areas are beginning to be proven or supported by such. There is no embarassment in learning a craft.<br /><br />And in the end, you come back to the basics with the greater understanding that none of the healing we do comes from us, only through. Out here in the West, there is not as much war history. What is here is mainly American Indian. It is all about finding the Light and the way home. <br /><br />Soon, I will share with you some of my stories. Off to work now!
