HEALING WATERS
nd what most of us can comprehend but perhaps not beyond our capacity to correct it. Let us follow Dr. Masaru Emoto’s lead and do something special to help. Emoto is the revolutionary Japanese peace activist and water energy researcher whose studies reveled that water physically responds to emotions and communications. He sends the following prayer to the troubled water in the Golf and says that to speak it with sincerity is powerful and humbling. "Now let’s give energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all the living creatures in Mexico Gulf by praying like this: To the water, whales, dolphins, pelicans, fishes, shellfishes, planktons, corals, algae and all creatures in our Gulf of Mexico. I apologize. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” I ask that you join me in reciting this prayer, everyday until the water is healed...

T'keyah, you are a wonderful actor! DC loved your performance in The Gilded Six Bits. The discussion that followed the film had to be cut short because the Hurston/Wright Foundation only had Busboys & Poets for two hours. I hadn't seen the film in a long time, but man! The acting in that film makes me look like a genius! I'm indebted to you, Chad, Wendell, Novella and the extras.
ReplyDeleteT'Keyeh...you truly have a beautiful and lovely spirit. Thank you for sharing your gifts of beauty, light, and laughter with the world.
