Earth Day 2020
This morning, a wave of sadness came over me, tender grief for all the endangered, fragile creatures of the Earth, we humans among them; for all our loss and fear, sorrow and suffering, shock and anger from this world-wide pandemic.
The terrible COVID-19 crisis is wreaking havoc on so many lives and families, and imposing a Great Pause on our way of living and doing business. It has turned our lives upside down, and caused great suffering,... Read More
An Imaginary Dialog with Hawk Spirit
Rahima: Dear Hawk Spirit, twenty years ago, you told me that the consequences of our human choices (industrialization, war, greed, extraction from Mother Earth instead of caring for Her) were coming and many would suffer. Now I see these consequences happening, and much suffering everywhere from drought, firestorms, huge floods, terrible storms. Will you talk with me again?
Hawk:
Times are fearsome but no need to fear.
This evolution must happen. Humanity must grow... Read More
Pelé Rising by Rahima Warren
When I paint, I never know who is going to show up. This time it was Pelé, the Hawaiian Volcano Goddess. To find out why She did, I wrote a dialog with Her, using creative imagination. She brings us all a powerful message for this time, when we are facing eco-collapse and the rise of fascism and terrorism.

Art and Emotions Torn from My Soul – by Rahima Warren
“Such remarkable words conveying – beautifully, terrifyingly – the state of our world.” —Barbara Graham, Author
Heaviness in my soul. Dread. Apocalypse looming.
Scorching the Earth (c) Rahima Warren
What are we doing to our Mother Earth, our only Home, to our brothers and sisters? Destroying so many beautiful and important birds, plants, animals, insects, sea creatures? Filling our precious, rare-in-the-universe Oceans with plastic junk? Tearing gaping holes in... Read More
My Heart’s Prayer for Our World and All of Us
01/19/19
During the Women’s March, I prayed and chanted with a purpose of sending out ripples of harmony and awakening. After an hour or so, my heart was full of warmth and love for our world and all of us. Here are the prayers that flowed from my heart:
Dear World, Dear People,
I love you. I send you blessings for healing, love, awakening, and gentleness with yourself, others, and... Read More
Messages for Humanity from the Dreamtime
via Rahima Warren
Today—with Houston and many other places drowning, and much of the U.S. West burning; with unstable leaders in D.C. and North Korea; with sea level rising and mega-storms increasing along with hatred and injustice, wars and refugees—I feel scared and sad. In need of guidance and wisdom, I reread a powerful series of dreams with Hawk Spirit that came to me in the 1990s.
My way of working with dreams is... Read More
All Earth Is One Life: Messages for Humanity
In meditation, I was watching my breath, keeping a focus on belly and heart, feeling how the breath connects these two centers of awareness. This led me into a state of deep stillness.
Out of this stillness, came a powerful receiving:
“This world is going to be so different in the future. The ones who will survive will be humble. They will be the ones who let go of the belief and... Read More
My love of our Mother Earth has deep roots. I knew my grandmother only as an old, stern woman. But, long after she passed on, among old family papers, I found a poem she wrote about her love of “The Mountains” (see below.)
Her son, my father, took us camping every summer, as his family did when he was young. He studied the very essence of earth – her blanket of soil that nurtures all life. (He was a soils... Read More
