A Blur of Tragedies

Yet another flattened landscape, rubble and mangled cars.  New grief-stricken faces, bloody close-ups and updated death tolls.

Is this our new normal?  Apparently so.

After the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, Cherokee Medicine Woman Nara White Owl warned me that "natural disasters" would increase in frequency and intensity.  "Those are the only times we are coming together and connecting with each other, heart to heart," she said with a fierce look in her bright blue eyes. 

At that time, Nara said that our values and priorities have become so skewed that Mother Nature was having to use her most terrific forces to remind us of what's really important.

In December 2012, I asked Nara what 2013 held for us.  She said that the divide between conscious and unconscious people was deepening, and that unconscious people would feel their separation (from Spirit) more acutely, prompting them to act out against society in more and more terrible ways.  I remembered her prediction when the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and the Boston Marathon bombing felt as though they happened back-to-back.

What do you think about all this?
