    The Mother's Womb - Our Connection

    At their latitude, the !Kung Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana describes it as the backbone of night, supporting the heavens and preventing the campfires in the sky from falling at their feet.  The Chinese believe it to be a barrier preventing two lovers from meeting.  And only with the aid of magpies creating a winged bridge can the two, Vega and Altair meet on the seventh day of the seventh month each year.  The Inca describes it as a herdsman following a llama toward a serpent representing their connection to nature and the earth.  The Lakota people held in utmost reverence the most mystifying of all heavenly phenomena calling it the pathway of the dead.  It is the trail all Lakota people must take when fate overtakes them. The Greeks attribute it to the spraying of Hera’s, Queen of Heaven’s, milk into the night sky as Hermes was pulled from her nipple. It is still called the Milky Way.

                Most Westerners have never seen this awesome sight, or at the very least given it much notice.  Atmospheric pollution muddies the skies and cloaks the view of what is essentially the skyline of this part of the Universe.  And the wash of artificial light from the cities, towns and campfires dilutes one’s resolution even more.  Earth’s positioning places it in what one would call the suburbs of the Milky Way galaxy.  Located on the fringe of the Carina-Cygnus spiral arm, humanity’s perspective of the galaxy is edge-on.  And there is a cloud of dark cosmic, carbon matter that further veils the core from view.  And the core is what the Mayans call the Hunab K’u, which means the mother’s womb. 

    That of which humanity is so intimately connected is cutoff from the senses and yet, there is a gentle and unrelenting tug from something beyond understanding that is calling us to return. This tugging is affecting everyone on the planet, and is increasing with the approach of the end of the calendar.

                All things are dynamic.  The immobile rock that appears to be motionless is so only because of scale.  Peering deeper into its makeup, one finds movement at the molecular level – one finds awareness.  And as we watch the heavens one sees movement, and yet the sensation is that the observer is stationary, immobile – this too is an illusion.  The solar system of which earth is a part and all things that are on the planet are moving toward a moment in galactic history no living human has ever experienced.  Everything has consciousness, and all things are dynamic.
