with an egg. It took forever, but it was good. I spent the day
with Raieta and Mamoa and asked Mamoa why no one ever
came to see me. She told me it was forbidden to go to the
hotel. Raieta brought me two loaves of bread her mother
made and Mamoa came back later and invited me to go to
the shrine with her husband and their family, but wants me to
pay for the transportation. I agreed.
Took a walk this am. Its truly a beautiful walk along the shore
path. I cant figure out why they keep the underbrush cut but it
sure makes a park-like view. I came across a large shell along
the way. I sure would like one like it! I put a dose of OFF on a
little while ago, but it doesnt help with the flies. Im trying to
figure out how to beat the mosquitoes. Last night I went to bed
and read under the mosquito net; I couldnt stand sweating and
getting bitten any more. The coil doesnt seem to work at all.
This morning a girl / woman came down the path and talked to
me for quite a while. Little English, though, then she cleaned
up my yard and around the council building. There was
another meeting on the Bua today and a lady came in for hot
water for tea. I tried to tell her I boiled water for tea but she
boiled more. I worked all pm getting my notes and charts
started. Im wondering how to present myself on Monday to the
first youth group. I cant decide to cook in the dark house or
wait until the lights come on. I guess Ill shower and wait, put
on the long blue dress to cover my legs from mosquitoes.

Last night the lights went off about 15 minutes after they came
on. I felt like crying all day yesterday because I was so lonely
and that just about did it. I was determined not to stay in this
place another night! My kerosene lantern wasnt filled as I
hadnt expected no electricity. I should have had it filled. And
my flashlight batteries were low. I finally got a book tape and
went to bed and listened to that. It was a terrible story and I fell
asleep about 8:00, woke up about 12pm and listened to the
other side of the tape which happened to be side A! It was still
a lousy story. I got up early, took my walk, made French toast

NOTE TO READERS
We ran the story of Sa-Sa-Na Loft, Owegos Indian Maiden, in 39 parts, from March 2005
through May 2008. Due to requests to repeat the story, and for the benefit of new readers
who missed it the first time, we are re-running the story over the next several months. The
story was lovingly compiled by Marilyn Searles, who passed away as we were going to
print with the first chapter. We hope she enjoyed reading it in heaven, and will enjoy this
encore!
1. Church
leaders
should not
tell people how they
should vote.
2. In this world today, we
should be well beyond
discrimination.
3. Those that are in need
of power and control
should not be in
leadership positions.
4. Governmental leaders
should not continue to
get paid once they leave
their job. Do we get
paid if we leave our
job?
5. Term limits should be
instituted for every
position.
6. When banks receive a
check for insufficient
funds, the penalty
should be directed to
the person writing the
check, not the recipient
of the check. Its not
their fault, but it is a
sure way for the banks
to get their money.
Thats all that matters.
7. The human race should
be enlightened enough
to tolerate other
peoples differences, be
it spiritual, skin color,
etc. People should not
have to tolerate the
judgment of others. We
are all born equal, and
no one is any better
than anyone else.
So, the way I see it, the
human race still has a long
way to go!

Mindclips
By Ann Lowdermilk
I should say, first off, that even though I
am writing about my recent experience
of watching Super Bowl XLIX, my
knowledge of the game of football is rudimentary to say the
least. Many rules and penalties escape me completely, yet
watching this epic wild game where two opposing teams of
strong human beings are each willing to risk life and limb to
gain and keep possession of an old-shaped ball which if they
can just carry it over a designated line on a big open playing
field without breaking any rules will earn them points---does stir
up some enthusiasm!
So, in late January, in anticipation of the big event, my
husband Dave gave me heads up that Super Bowl XLIX was to
be played in Glendale, Arizona between the Seattle Seahawks
and the New England Patriots---useful information since we
usually attend a Super Bowl gathering at a friends house, and
I ought to at least know who the playing teams are!
After the game, I sat in quiet reflection. For all the hoopla,
my mind kept returning to the man, Malcolm Butler. Only
minutes before this dramatic ending, Malcolm Butler had
unsuccessfully blocked a pass which inadvertently brought
the Seahawks to that momentous one yard line only two
plays later. So, when that moment came, on that one yard
line, in those last seconds of the game, he could have been
musing about that earlier play. He could have resigned
himself to the thought that this Super Bowl win belonged to
the Seahawks, what with but inches to bring victory to
fruition. Instead, he was present to the possibilities of the
glorious nowthe only time anything ever does happen.
And he did make it happen!
Thats the takeaway Im going with from Super Bowl XLIX.
Many thanks, Malcolm!
Mark my words
All will be well
As long as you pray! Amen

Try to live each day, one day at a time; look on the positive
side, yet keep up with current events. Finding the positive
side of some of todays headlines is quite challenging.
Movies today, for instance, seem to be coming under a lot of
controversy from various groups and many times I agree, so
I am staying away from the movie theaters. Have to say, the
latest movie being praised for opening fantasies is kind of a
shock to me, especially if youve seen the previews or read
the book. Several groups are recommending boycotting the
movie Fifty Shades of Grey and sending the money to
organizations that support women who have been abused.
Sounds like a good idea!

Legendarium -A Screenplay
By Mackenzie E. Anders
Episode 5 Part 2:
The Truth Behind The Two Books
Kylie - What do you mean your brother is trapped in the
Legendarium?
Guardian - Five years ago, my family and I were on the run
from the Principal.
Kylie - Why?
(It goes back to a flashback of the family running from the
Principal. The family is running through the woods. It then
goes over to the Principal walking with monsters running
ahead of her while she is casting spells. One of the monsters
grabs the Guardians brother Erics foot. The monster pulls
Eric down and he falls to the ground. Eric calls out to his
sister Lisa help me! (Lisa, who is the Guardian, stops and
turns around.)
Lisa Eric!
(Lisa runs back and grabs her brother and pulls him up. They
run back to their parents. Each parent grabs one of the
children and they all start to run faster, but the Principal casts
a spell. She sends a spiral sphere over the family and the
family gets stuck.)
Eric - Dad, what do we do now?
Dad - Lisa, Eric you need to get behind us!
(The dad puts his arms up in front of his family when the
Principal gets right up in front of him.)
Principal - Well if it isnt my favorite family, the Fox family.
Mom - What do you want?
Principal - Well of course you know what I want. I want your
book .
(Lisa pushes in front of her dad.)
Lisa We will never give it to you!
(Lisas dad pulls her back.)
Principal - Well isnt that sweet!

It was the spring of 2000 and we were working in downtown Elmira for a data collection
agency. I reported to work and was told we would be gathering data in Newark Valley that
fine day so my co-worker, Susie, and I jumped in my car and left for an hour drive. Back
about noon we said.
We arrived in Newark Valley and began our work; all was fine for the first few houses. At
the next place there was a moving van. Meeting the couple who were moving from there,
they were exuberant and eager to show us their house for sale. We were running room to
room with them as we asked our questions. We admired the new bathroom, their living
room, and curtains they were leaving behind. The lady handed us some boxes to carry
out to the moving van. The movers were enthralled by our jobs and wanted to chat with
us, and it took us a half hour to continue on. Finally, we finished and got back in the car.
The temperature was about 80 by this time, at 11:30. Turning the key in my car we heard
r-r-r nothing, r-r-r nothing. Uh oh! Popping the hood and getting out, I lifted the hood, took
off my shoe and beat on the battery cables a bit. Susie was laughing and watching my
mechanical ability, but it was all for naught. R-r-r nothing, again. Never fear, I said, I have
a cell phone!
We had attracted some attention by now, and the movers from the moving van down the
block joined us. One fellow crawled under the car and looked around, and the other tried
working on stuff under the hood, but to no avail. I tried my cell phone again, but there was
no signal in the valley. The couple who were moving joined us and told us about a garage
a couple blocks away so we closed the car and hoofed it there. The older couple who
owned the garage were very sweet and friendly and let us use their phone to call work
and AAA. We wont be back by noon, I told them, but AAA will be here soon to help us.
Neither Susie nor I had brought our lunch or any money, but I was able to buy us each a
soda from the machine at the garage.
AAA called back and said they could have a truck there in an hour or so. It was about
12:15 already! Oh well. The nice couple from the garage were very sweet and offered to
take us back to the car so we wouldnt have to walk in the heat. We jumped in the back,
and while traveling they gave us a tour of Newark Valley the school, the playground
where the sports teams played, the main street, the works. Getting back to the car, I tried
to start it again, but no luck. Susie and I sat down under a tree in the shade and wished
we had lunch. Or some money. Or another car!

NATURAL HEALERS
Aloe Vera Gel:
Aloe vera gel contains powerful healing compounds
that stop pain, block inflammation, reduce swelling,
moisturize skin, and repair wounds. Research has
shown that aloe gel heals burns three days faster
than the standard prescription burn cream. Aloe
also heals psoriasis as well as, or better than,
conventional steroid creams.
Manuka Honey:
Honey is Mother Natures strongest antibiotic. It
contains propolis a compound in nectar that kills
bacteria. Manuka honey from New Zealand is so
strong that it kills drug-resistant superbugs like
MRSA. Studies have shown this super honey heals
wounds that do not respond to conventional
treatment.
Ginger:
Reach for the ginger the next time your stomach
starts doing back flips. The same compounds that
give ginger its zingy taste help prevent vomiting and
ease nausea. Studies have shown that ginger tea,
ginger ale, or crystallized ginger can heal
indigestion, reduce morning sickness and prevent
motion sickness.
Sambucol:
Sambucol is a syrup made from elderberries that
has been used in Europe for centuries to fight
viruses. Research shows that it kills multiple flu
strains, including the deadly H1N1 virus. Take it at
the first sign of illness, and Sambucol can cut your
recovery time in half.
FI BER DEFICIENCY &
DI VERTICUL I TIS
Symptoms associated with fiber deficiency include
irregularity, constipation, high cholesterol,
appendicitis, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel
syndrome, colon and colorectal cancer.
Diverticulitis is an illness in which sacs on the wall of
the large bowel become inflamed. Diverticulitis is
believed to be caused by constipation.

A LAUGHING MATTER
Paddy had been drinking at his local pub all day and
most of the night in celebration of St. Patricks Day.
The bartender says, Youll not be drinking anymore
tonight, Paddy.
Paddy replies, Ok, Mick, Ill be on my way then.
Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He
falls flat on his face. He pulls himself up by the stool
and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the
door and falls flat on his face again.
He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if
he can just get to the door and some fresh air hell
be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up
to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and
takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better
and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat
on his face.
My goodness, Im a little crocked, he says. He can
see his house just a few doors down; he crawls to
the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the
door, and shimmies inside. He takes a look up the
stairs and says, No way. He crawls up the stairs to
his bedroom door and says, I can make it to the
bed. He takes a step into the room and falls flat on
his face. He pulls himself up and falls into bed.
The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the
room carrying a cup of coffee and says, Get up,
Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night? Paddy
says, I did, Jess. How did you know?
Mick phonedyou left your wheelchair at the pub.

One womans real-life story
Barbara received an alarming letter from the IRS. A man
whose name she didnt recognize added himself to her
tax return. He wanted her tax refund routed to his
bank, but the IRS needed her permission first. At the
time, Barbara had not filed her taxes for the year.
Luckily, Barbara had spoken with her insurance agent
and decided to add Identity Recovery (IDR) coverage to
her policy before the incident occurred. That extra
coverage ended up providing her with the services of a
trained case manager to help her. The case worker filed
a police report, put an alert on her accounts and
contacted the IRS, her credit card companies and her
bank. (In addition to the services, IDR coverage also
provides up to $5,000 for lost wages, certain legal fees
and more.)
To learn more about protecting yourself and your
family from identity theft, check with your insurance
company to see if they provide coverage for tax scams
and identity theft for yourself and your children.

Moving on
Is it the same old song
Or, keep hanging on
And being strong.
Moving on
Its time for a new song
Come along, watch me grow
Forget about the snow.
Its time to move
To the revolution groove
Oh! Did I say something wrong
Well, they call me Ms. Armstrong!
Ive taken a stand
You also can
Not about being right
Or wrongblack or white.
Keep singing that encouraging song
Keep talking on that universal phone
We came far You know who you are?

God
Is the reason
There is light and darkness
And a moon and sun.
I am the sky!
Im going to keep on
moving on
Its not about patience
Its about the universal revelation.

with an egg. It took forever, but it was good. I spent the day
with Raieta and Mamoa and asked Mamoa why no one ever
came to see me. She told me it was forbidden to go to the
hotel. Raieta brought me two loaves of bread her mother
made and Mamoa came back later and invited me to go to
the shrine with her husband and their family, but wants me to
pay for the transportation. I agreed.
Took a walk this am. Its truly a beautiful walk along the shore
path. I cant figure out why they keep the underbrush cut but it
sure makes a park-like view. I came across a large shell along
the way. I sure would like one like it! I put a dose of OFF on a
little while ago, but it doesnt help with the flies. Im trying to
figure out how to beat the mosquitoes. Last night I went to bed
and read under the mosquito net; I couldnt stand sweating and
getting bitten any more. The coil doesnt seem to work at all.
This morning a girl / woman came down the path and talked to
me for quite a while. Little English, though, then she cleaned
up my yard and around the council building. There was
another meeting on the Bua today and a lady came in for hot
water for tea. I tried to tell her I boiled water for tea but she
boiled more. I worked all pm getting my notes and charts
started. Im wondering how to present myself on Monday to the
first youth group. I cant decide to cook in the dark house or
wait until the lights come on. I guess Ill shower and wait, put
on the long blue dress to cover my legs from mosquitoes.

Last night the lights went off about 15 minutes after they came
on. I felt like crying all day yesterday because I was so lonely
and that just about did it. I was determined not to stay in this
place another night! My kerosene lantern wasnt filled as I
hadnt expected no electricity. I should have had it filled. And
my flashlight batteries were low. I finally got a book tape and
went to bed and listened to that. It was a terrible story and I fell
asleep about 8:00, woke up about 12pm and listened to the
other side of the tape which happened to be side A! It was still
a lousy story. I got up early, took my walk, made French toast

NOTE TO READERS
We ran the story of Sa-Sa-Na Loft, Owegos Indian Maiden, in 39 parts, from March 2005
through May 2008. Due to requests to repeat the story, and for the benefit of new readers
who missed it the first time, we are re-running the story over the next several months. The
story was lovingly compiled by Marilyn Searles, who passed away as we were going to
print with the first chapter. We hope she enjoyed reading it in heaven, and will enjoy this
encore!
1. Church
leaders
should not
tell people how they
should vote.
2. In this world today, we
should be well beyond
discrimination.
3. Those that are in need
of power and control
should not be in
leadership positions.
4. Governmental leaders
should not continue to
get paid once they leave
their job. Do we get
paid if we leave our
job?
5. Term limits should be
instituted for every
position.
6. When banks receive a
check for insufficient
funds, the penalty
should be directed to
the person writing the
check, not the recipient
of the check. Its not
their fault, but it is a
sure way for the banks
to get their money.
Thats all that matters.
7. The human race should
be enlightened enough
to tolerate other
peoples differences, be
it spiritual, skin color,
etc. People should not
have to tolerate the
judgment of others. We
are all born equal, and
no one is any better
than anyone else.
So, the way I see it, the
human race still has a long
way to go!

Mindclips
By Ann Lowdermilk
I should say, first off, that even though I
am writing about my recent experience
of watching Super Bowl XLIX, my
knowledge of the game of football is rudimentary to say the
least. Many rules and penalties escape me completely, yet
watching this epic wild game where two opposing teams of
strong human beings are each willing to risk life and limb to
gain and keep possession of an old-shaped ball which if they
can just carry it over a designated line on a big open playing
field without breaking any rules will earn them points---does stir
up some enthusiasm!
So, in late January, in anticipation of the big event, my
husband Dave gave me heads up that Super Bowl XLIX was to
be played in Glendale, Arizona between the Seattle Seahawks
and the New England Patriots---useful information since we
usually attend a Super Bowl gathering at a friends house, and
I ought to at least know who the playing teams are!
After the game, I sat in quiet reflection. For all the hoopla,
my mind kept returning to the man, Malcolm Butler. Only
minutes before this dramatic ending, Malcolm Butler had
unsuccessfully blocked a pass which inadvertently brought
the Seahawks to that momentous one yard line only two
plays later. So, when that moment came, on that one yard
line, in those last seconds of the game, he could have been
musing about that earlier play. He could have resigned
himself to the thought that this Super Bowl win belonged to
the Seahawks, what with but inches to bring victory to
fruition. Instead, he was present to the possibilities of the
glorious nowthe only time anything ever does happen.
And he did make it happen!
Thats the takeaway Im going with from Super Bowl XLIX.
Many thanks, Malcolm!
Mark my words
All will be well
As long as you pray! Amen

Try to live each day, one day at a time; look on the positive
side, yet keep up with current events. Finding the positive
side of some of todays headlines is quite challenging.
Movies today, for instance, seem to be coming under a lot of
controversy from various groups and many times I agree, so
I am staying away from the movie theaters. Have to say, the
latest movie being praised for opening fantasies is kind of a
shock to me, especially if youve seen the previews or read
the book. Several groups are recommending boycotting the
movie Fifty Shades of Grey and sending the money to
organizations that support women who have been abused.
Sounds like a good idea!

Legendarium -A Screenplay
By Mackenzie E. Anders
Episode 5 Part 2:
The Truth Behind The Two Books
Kylie - What do you mean your brother is trapped in the
Legendarium?
Guardian - Five years ago, my family and I were on the run
from the Principal.
Kylie - Why?
(It goes back to a flashback of the family running from the
Principal. The family is running through the woods. It then
goes over to the Principal walking with monsters running
ahead of her while she is casting spells. One of the monsters
grabs the Guardians brother Erics foot. The monster pulls
Eric down and he falls to the ground. Eric calls out to his
sister Lisa help me! (Lisa, who is the Guardian, stops and
turns around.)
Lisa Eric!
(Lisa runs back and grabs her brother and pulls him up. They
run back to their parents. Each parent grabs one of the
children and they all start to run faster, but the Principal casts
a spell. She sends a spiral sphere over the family and the
family gets stuck.)
Eric - Dad, what do we do now?
Dad - Lisa, Eric you need to get behind us!
(The dad puts his arms up in front of his family when the
Principal gets right up in front of him.)
Principal - Well if it isnt my favorite family, the Fox family.
Mom - What do you want?
Principal - Well of course you know what I want. I want your
book .
(Lisa pushes in front of her dad.)
Lisa We will never give it to you!
(Lisas dad pulls her back.)
Principal - Well isnt that sweet!

It was the spring of 2000 and we were working in downtown Elmira for a data collection
agency. I reported to work and was told we would be gathering data in Newark Valley that
fine day so my co-worker, Susie, and I jumped in my car and left for an hour drive. Back
about noon we said.
We arrived in Newark Valley and began our work; all was fine for the first few houses. At
the next place there was a moving van. Meeting the couple who were moving from there,
they were exuberant and eager to show us their house for sale. We were running room to
room with them as we asked our questions. We admired the new bathroom, their living
room, and curtains they were leaving behind. The lady handed us some boxes to carry
out to the moving van. The movers were enthralled by our jobs and wanted to chat with
us, and it took us a half hour to continue on. Finally, we finished and got back in the car.
The temperature was about 80 by this time, at 11:30. Turning the key in my car we heard
r-r-r nothing, r-r-r nothing. Uh oh! Popping the hood and getting out, I lifted the hood, took
off my shoe and beat on the battery cables a bit. Susie was laughing and watching my
mechanical ability, but it was all for naught. R-r-r nothing, again. Never fear, I said, I have
a cell phone!
We had attracted some attention by now, and the movers from the moving van down the
block joined us. One fellow crawled under the car and looked around, and the other tried
working on stuff under the hood, but to no avail. I tried my cell phone again, but there was
no signal in the valley. The couple who were moving joined us and told us about a garage
a couple blocks away so we closed the car and hoofed it there. The older couple who
owned the garage were very sweet and friendly and let us use their phone to call work
and AAA. We wont be back by noon, I told them, but AAA will be here soon to help us.
Neither Susie nor I had brought our lunch or any money, but I was able to buy us each a
soda from the machine at the garage.
AAA called back and said they could have a truck there in an hour or so. It was about
12:15 already! Oh well. The nice couple from the garage were very sweet and offered to
take us back to the car so we wouldnt have to walk in the heat. We jumped in the back,
and while traveling they gave us a tour of Newark Valley the school, the playground
where the sports teams played, the main street, the works. Getting back to the car, I tried
to start it again, but no luck. Susie and I sat down under a tree in the shade and wished
we had lunch. Or some money. Or another car!

NATURAL HEALERS
Aloe Vera Gel:
Aloe vera gel contains powerful healing compounds
that stop pain, block inflammation, reduce swelling,
moisturize skin, and repair wounds. Research has
shown that aloe gel heals burns three days faster
than the standard prescription burn cream. Aloe
also heals psoriasis as well as, or better than,
conventional steroid creams.
Manuka Honey:
Honey is Mother Natures strongest antibiotic. It
contains propolis a compound in nectar that kills
bacteria. Manuka honey from New Zealand is so
strong that it kills drug-resistant superbugs like
MRSA. Studies have shown this super honey heals
wounds that do not respond to conventional
treatment.
Ginger:
Reach for the ginger the next time your stomach
starts doing back flips. The same compounds that
give ginger its zingy taste help prevent vomiting and
ease nausea. Studies have shown that ginger tea,
ginger ale, or crystallized ginger can heal
indigestion, reduce morning sickness and prevent
motion sickness.
Sambucol:
Sambucol is a syrup made from elderberries that
has been used in Europe for centuries to fight
viruses. Research shows that it kills multiple flu
strains, including the deadly H1N1 virus. Take it at
the first sign of illness, and Sambucol can cut your
recovery time in half.
FI BER DEFICIENCY &
DI VERTICUL I TIS
Symptoms associated with fiber deficiency include
irregularity, constipation, high cholesterol,
appendicitis, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel
syndrome, colon and colorectal cancer.
Diverticulitis is an illness in which sacs on the wall of
the large bowel become inflamed. Diverticulitis is
believed to be caused by constipation.

A LAUGHING MATTER
Paddy had been drinking at his local pub all day and
most of the night in celebration of St. Patricks Day.
The bartender says, Youll not be drinking anymore
tonight, Paddy.
Paddy replies, Ok, Mick, Ill be on my way then.
Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He
falls flat on his face. He pulls himself up by the stool
and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the
door and falls flat on his face again.
He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if
he can just get to the door and some fresh air hell
be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up
to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and
takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better
and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat
on his face.
My goodness, Im a little crocked, he says. He can
see his house just a few doors down; he crawls to
the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the
door, and shimmies inside. He takes a look up the
stairs and says, No way. He crawls up the stairs to
his bedroom door and says, I can make it to the
bed. He takes a step into the room and falls flat on
his face. He pulls himself up and falls into bed.
The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the
room carrying a cup of coffee and says, Get up,
Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night? Paddy
says, I did, Jess. How did you know?

One womans real-life story
Barbara received an alarming letter from the IRS. A man
whose name she didnt recognize added himself to her
tax return. He wanted her tax refund routed to his
bank, but the IRS needed her permission first. At the
time, Barbara had not filed her taxes for the year.
Luckily, Barbara had spoken with her insurance agent
and decided to add Identity Recovery (IDR) coverage to
her policy before the incident occurred. That extra
coverage ended up providing her with the services of a
trained case manager to help her. The case worker filed
a police report, put an alert on her accounts and
contacted the IRS, her credit card companies and her
bank. (In addition to the services, IDR coverage also
provides up to $5,000 for lost wages, certain legal fees
and more.)
To learn more about protecting yourself and your
family from identity theft, check with your insurance
company to see if they provide coverage for tax scams
and identity theft for yourself and your children.

We are shifting
From tension to attention
From uptightness to uprightness
From fragility to agility
From holding on to being whole
From speed to freed
We are shifting
From contracted to connected
From longing to belonging
From alone to all one
From apart to a part
We are shifting
From war to warmth
From slaughter to laughter
From killing to chilling
From tanks to thanks
From bombs to balms
From attacking to attracting
From armored to amorous
From enmity to equity
We are shifting
From greedy to greening
From coal to soul
(leaving oil in the soil, taking a pass
on gas)
From consuming to conserving
From corporations to cooperation
From make it fast to make it last
We are shifting
From supremacy to solidarity
From exploitation to exaltation
From mass incarceration to
collective liberation
From racial segregation to united
rainbow nation!
WE ARE
SHIFTING THE POWER!

Princess,
Welcome to March and the start of spring.
The sun shines bright and the birds sing.
I love you more than anything.
I love you,

2015 moving on
By Rev. Armstrong
Moving on
Is it the same old song
Or, keep hanging on
And being strong.
Moving on
Its time for a new song
Come along, watch me grow
Forget about the snow.
Its time to move
To the revolution groove
Oh! Did I say something wrong
Well, they call me Ms. Armstrong!
Ive taken a stand
You also can
Not about being right
Or wrongblack or white.
Keep singing that encouraging song
Keep talking on that universal phone
We came far You know who you are?
sky blue
God
Is the reason
There is light and darkness
And a moon and sun.
I am the sky!
Im going to keep on
moving on
Its not about patience
Its about the universal revelation.
