INITIATION of CHILDREN into ADULTHOOD

This month (August) I will write about what I think about a great deal: children. This past weekend I poured a sacred Lodge ceremony for 16 children who had spent a week in the mountains unlearning everything they knew in a vulnerable, dangerous, and purposeful way under the guidance of skilled facilitators from the House of One Common Unity. They were under the care of the forested mountains of Elk Garden, West Virginia at Abram’s Creek. The whole process of initiation changed the “young-people-who-were-once–children-but- now-are-adults” into adults. We gave them as many Medicines, and skills as we could to those new adults to face the deadness of the life-styles of many of their homes and neighborhoods and challenging but enduring qualities of their country’s spirit. Adults initiated bring new energies, primal energies into a world set on it’s own spiraling course downward away from the original intent of Creation.

Back in Washington DC the children I have been leading this summer in a work crew walked with me to the community garden we had created to harvest our tomatoes. The depth of their disrespect towards food stunned me. They could not eat food without chemicals in it. The sight of me eating a sun kissed red tomato fresh from the patch astonished and repelled them. One boy cut a tomato into tiny pieces and left them on the ground, another slapped one into the dirt! They took pictures of each other grimacing at the taste of their tomatoes. There is a learned disconnection between children, the water and the land. More than anything else it defines their relationship, and understanding of the Creator. – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

sculptor Daniel Edwards' Michelle Obama’s Makeover for America

sculptor Daniel Edwards' portrayal of Michelle Obama

NEW YORK (September 17, 2008) – First Lady hopeful Michelle Obama receives an ‘Inaugural Ball’ makeover for providing a makeover to the face of the US. The sexy, bare-shouldered style-enhancement highlights Obama’s ethnicity to create a new fashion template for the 21st Century First Lady, and is the latest installment of sculptor Daniel Edwards’s “Inspire America” series, courtesy of Manhattan’s Leo Kesting Gallery.

“Michelle Obama’s Makeover for America” presents an accessorized mannequin bust of Obama that foregoes the conventional pearl necklace, and provides for her a ‘signature look’ to take to Washington. “The goal is to create a look for Michelle Obama that eliminates excessive comparisons to Jackie Kennedy,” said Edwards, who studied under the tutelage of legendary fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, “like supermodel Tyra Banks’s photos in Harper’s Bazaar, or the puzzling comment from CBS’s Byron Pitts that recommended ‘less Jackee, more Jackie O.’”

A pearl-studded Afro pick, shaped like an eagle, demonstrates the makeover’s fashion mix of Black African and White House heritage to reinvigorate the traditional First Lady pearls. A tight, spiral-textured mane complements Michelle Obama’s likeness, with the pearl Afro pick placed modishly askew in a Nefertiti-esque hairstyle. Included are big hoop earrings shaped like O’s that seem to suggest, according to a gallery spokesman, “Look out Oprah, a new ‘Lady O’s’ in charge.”

Adorning the breasts of Michelle Obama’s bust are temporary tattoos, of which an American flag is depicted, to compensate for Barack’s pin-free lapels. Additional breast tattoo designs for Mrs. Obama, by Chicago tattoo artist Alex Higgins, will also be exhibited.

 “Michelle Obama inspires a fashion template change that many First Ladies of the 21st Century may follow, as we witness minorities in this country becoming the majority,” added the spokesman.

The tendency is to shove 'reality stars' into a dusty drawer. They come across, more often than not, as assholes, or stupid, insipid, or shallow. The first 'reality show' was in the 1970's, and the outrage of the public centered around the violation of privacy.  The networks backed off, and new technologies were packaged and sold simplifying life, and creating an elite class mentality amongst regular citizens. Laws were passed that slowly eroded the rights of citizens while jobs leaving the country were barely noticed by a population distracted by their pride in their ignorance, and the comforts of modern life. Presidents performed on stage for three, and four decades before a public that needed entertainment, and soft sells that matched their education levels. Gossips replace introspective, and hard news analysis, and reality show stars were studied from head to toe, and gossiped about to the distraction of a populace smug in the clusterfuck of their existence, and place in the world as a super power.

Many things occured during the Great Sleep. Roused from their sleep millions of US citizens found themselves poor, unemployable, and scantly clad in the images they dreamed of as reality. The Earth, our Mother is changing her form, and the state of mind of millions of US citizens is so profoundly locked in a dysfunctional paradigm they cannot see with clarity.

What is your spiritual responsibility in these times?
