I have posted this private communication without permission and so I have concealed

the identity of the sender for privacy reasons. I thought what she had to say was

notable and decided to put it here. She was responding to a note about a Kosovo

prayer session. If you have responses send them on to me and I will post them here

and forward to this writer. 

 

Roger,
I was away and missed the message. However, I have, at this very moment,
taken 2 minutes to "be" with those who are affected by this war.

I will share with you another type of war that affects humans in a very
insidious way. Where I live there has been a decision made to spray for the
death of the gypsy moth who is attacking certain trees and damaging them. A
medical and government decision was made that the chemical BtK be used to
do the job. The information about this chemical is either not known or not
being made available,  yet it is being applied overhead by low-flying
aricraft over a number of weeks. Will this process cause a slow death for
our residents through respiratory illness, skin cancer, damaged food
products, etc. It seems like a war against Nature, the very gift given us
to live on the planet.

When humanity decides to put their personal ego and their selfishness away
and exchange that thinking for "the Mind of Christ", then will ALL be the
only reality that exists. We need to realize that everything, all
creatures, plant materials, inanimate objects, etc are inextricably bound
by the same life source. May we teach our children well in the ways of the
spirit so that TRUTH, BEAUTY AND GOODNESS will prevail.

My mother is a Carpathian German, who fled Slovakia, the country in
which her family lived since 1209 in the manner of the Kosovars in 1945. My
father's side left the Danzig area earlier, but it still remained our
spiritual home, until the local Germans, including several of his
relatives, were murdered and deported in the same manner. What happened
to many of the Albanians of Kosovo reminds me of that. So does the
suffering of the Bosniaks (the Muslims from Bosnia), of so many
Croats--but ALSO of many Serbs who were "vertrieben" from the Krajina.
We must recognize individuals, not use ethnic labels.
Since I saw a letter arguing in the manner of Edward Benesch (the Czech
Milosevic) that Sudeten Germans were all traitors (just as Milosevic
argues about the Albanians), I also submit my Carpathian German Homepage
for the perusal of those who are interested in the complicated history
of Czecho-Slovakia between the wars.

COPYRIGHT MARCH 1999


THE LAND WHERE SOULS PLAY.


An awakening to dawn mist on the water,
flowing Spirit's streams to God's alter,
purifying essence whistles through the trees,
images of the sacred blowing in the breeze.

Flights of fancy from birds up high,
feathers of many colors filtering through the sky,
sun, moon and stars envelops Earth's dome,
we're all birds of a feather, finding our way home.

Spectacle of mesmerizing movements flashing in the mind,
melting pots of humans, secrets hard to find,
love all embracing whispers on the wind,
no physical presence, ecstasy from a light dimmed.

Gifts of joy enmeshed in music and dance,
visualizing images filtering in a trance,
warriors in a drumbeat at journeys end,
back to the womb of creation enmeshed in a substance blend.

Wondrous dreams in the stillness of the dark,
journey on uplifting voyages in paradise park,
thunder and lightening points the way,
a prelude to the land where Soul's play. M.L.

Roger's Notes - http://www.spiritwalk.org

I have been energized to do something for Peace in Kosovo all day today
(thus far). I have created a Kosovo Peace Page on the Spiritwalk Website
which contains the earlier mailings.

I was inspired by one of the list members who made a commitment to peace
(to me?us?all?) I have followed suit and made an opportunity to go public
if you are so inspired. Check out the web page at

Here is is my commitment...

I make a spiritual commitment to Peace in Kosovo
and will pray daily to alleviate the pain and suffering of all sentient beings ~
remembering the people of the Kosovo region.

~

May all beings be happy.
May they live in safety and joy.
All living beings,
whether weak or strong, tall, stout,
average or short, seen or unseen,
near or distant, born or to be born,
may they all be happy.

Let no one deceive another
or despise any being in any state,
let none by anger or hatred wish to harm another.

Metta,

Hi Roger and everyone else who is reading--Your board is so interesting. I
have read all posts that are on here and even printed them out. My son, a
computer specialist, is trying to break me from doing that as he thinks we can
become a paperless society. Perhaps one day, but I do love a hard copy to
read, ponder, and treasure..

I would like to respond to the post about Mother Earth Changes/Sacred Circle
posted 11/4/98 by Carlos White Eagle and Roger. This post has filled my heart
with anticipation and with joy. I want to show and feel joy everyday in my
life as Carlos says. I am one to read steps to take to come to that joy. I
have been studying the Tao and find simplicity, tranquility, and joy are the
byproducts of a beautiful life. I am embracing simplicity, and following my
spiritual path more closely these days than I have the past few years. I am
very interested in the Hopi elders' prophecies. Could you, Carlos, enlighten
me as to the timetable for the prophecies? I have just found out I am from
North American Indian heritage. I have been drawn to Indian culture more in
the past five years than ever before. I was on a brief trip to Sedona, AZ and
visited Oak Creek Canyon where the Indians were selling their wares! I bought
a cassette tape of Indian flute music. Recently I found a CD by Tiffany SNow
named "Indian Desert" which I have here at my work, and I listen to it at
night before retiring for the day. I am on the search for more info on what
actual tribe I am descended from. My father's last name was Spangenburg and
he was born in Susquehanna Valley, PA and was raised in Broome County, NY. My
husband's mother was born in Antrim, PA and was raised in Endicott, NY and her
maiden name was Bates. Do either of you know of a direct path I could take to
find out our lineage (both my husband and mine) for he also has Indian
background. I would be most indebted to either or both of you if you could
help me shorten the time to find out. I am so excited just to have the
confirmation that I am of Indian heritage that I can barely stand the time it
takes to trace the line!!!!!

I know I will be doing something: writing, talking, etc. to pass on my Indian
heritage. Please advise me if you would.

Thanks from the bottom of my loving Indian heart!!!

Greetings Spiritwalk,
I'd love to have my spiritual novel "Me 'n God in the Coffee Shop" listed in
your bookstore. (It's available through Amazon)
Here's my promotional letter...

Announcing the publication of the spiritual novel
"Me 'n God in the Coffee Shop"
By René Donovan


"Me 'n God in the Coffee Shop" is a spiritual journey, a lullaby, an
awakening. It's pages hold starlight and the fragrance of new-mown grass.

With the blending of magic, mystery and ancient beliefs the reader is carried

to a place of warm and tender joy, a place that whispers, "You are a miracle!"

Here's what the reviewers are saying concerning this book:

"This is a beautiful book with a wonderful message for the new millennium.
Beautifully written, it entertains as it enlightens. It is a perfect blending
of Truth and fantasy. We hope there will be more books by René Donovan."
Paulline and Dan Campanelli, authors of
"Ancient Ways" and "Circles, Groves and Sanctuaries"

"This is a wonderful, beautifully told story that is both magical and real.
René Donovan gives you things to think about long after you've finished the
story.
I loved it!"
Rabbi Shoni Labowitz, author of
" Miraculous Living: A Guided Journey of Kabbalah Through the Ten Gates of the Tree of Life"

"A combination of "Oh God" and "Dancing in the Light" for the new millennium.
An enjoyable way to rediscover and celebrate Spirit, within and without."
Patricia Telesco, author of
"A Victorian Grimoire"_"The Urban Pagan"_"A Witch's Brew"_"Folklore, Fantasy,
Fiction" and others.

"Perhaps the most delightful morsel of this excursion is the backhanded humor
with
which the storyteller approaches these unbelievable visits, embossed by nearly
fragrant visual descriptions of the miracle planet on which we live."
NAPRA Review (New Age Publishing & Retailing Alliance)

Dear Michelle:

I just found this e-mail for the Spiritwalk bulletin board tonight...

It had been filed erroneously in my e-mail archive. The good news is that
I found it. The bad news is that it took 3 weeks to get on. I apologize for this.

I will do a reminder in the "What's New" so maybe that will increase the traffic there.

I am excited about this idea of yours and wish you luck with it. We could really use an

Omega Foundation kind of thing here in Southerrn California...Is that what you have

in mind?? How are you going about raising these funds? I have a similar kind of thing

in my vision, a Spiritwalk Retreat Center, so I play the Lotto twice a week. Who Knows?

Please stay in touch and let me know how this is going. If you have a project progress
mailing list, please put me on it.

Blessings.

Namaste`

Roger Ebsen
