As the World Drum travels from country to country, people
to people and from hand to hand, its heartbeat grows stronger each day.
It is a wakeup call to
reinstate our
spiritual relationship to Mother Earth.
As we move further and further away from nature, we have
lost this relation and look at nature as something we must fight,
exploit and destroy. And as we let this happen the
web of life is coming undone and will bring
catastrophic consequences.
Our aim is to bring attention to the critical situation for Mother
Earth, OUR HOME – This must stop and we need to demand from our
politicians and governments that they create REAL solutions to the
problems.
We must take rediscover our spiritual relation with nature and see that
we are all dependant on each other and nature as we are connected in
one family, the human family.
Once again we must listen to Mother Earth, as she speaks to us every
day. And we do not have to learn the language of Mother Earth. We are
all born with it, we all carry it and we all know it, we only have
to remember it. Then we can listen, and then we can respect what
we all are a part of and work together towards a bountiful cooperation
with nature for the common good.
We must give honour to the differences in each of us and work together
towards the same goal instead of concentrate on the differences as
something wrong, regarding race, religion, borders, cultures,
ethnicity, colours or political conviction, this path only lead us to
separation.
All people are different, and we should be allowed to be so, but at the
same time we are also very much alike, as we are all humanbeings and
members of the human family. And the most important common similarity
is that we are all depending on our common place of living, Mother
Earth.
It is important for us to understand that without Mother Earth and ALL
that lives upon her, there will be no humankind. We are all dependent
on her and all her beings as we all live on the same planet with
limited access to resources. We are indeed all united and related, but
what we are in lack of, is the awareness of this.
And
this is what we should awake to and be aware of. Awareness of that we
are all related:
Quote from the participant Oglala-Lakota John Two-Hawks:
“The real message is that we are all the World
Drum. The sacred heartbeat which sounds on the skin of this humble,
powerful drum, exists in the center of every being on the planet. It is
in you, and it is in me. It is in every tree, every rock, every bird
and every fish. The sacred heartbeat of the World Drum beats in us all,
and it is up to each of us to stop long enough to quiet our minds so we
can hear that still small voice of the Spirit which calls us back to
the place of balance, respect, humility, honour, courage and
wisdom.”
The Journey
The World Drum have now travelled around the globe for
several years, and the journey continues, and the sacred mission of The
World Drum is to bring peace between man, and peace between man and
nature.
We see that after several years of travel The World Drum
has been filled with power and spirits from all kind of people from
many different cultures, different religions, different political
thinking, old people, young people, children, homeless, handicapped,
woman and men from many nations. All kind
of people all together in the spirit of a common cause. No matter who
you are, what you are or where you are, we are all a part of the great
circle and we all come from the same source.
Quote from the participant Oglala-Lakota John Two-Hawks:
“…And
so, as the World Drum continues its global journey, may we all come to
understand that the heartbeat of this humble drum beats inside all of
us. The World Drum really is you and I. Let us all listen to that
heartbeat of connection, peace and mending.
After all, Mother Earth, all her children, and the
seventh generation are hanging in the balance.... “
The time is
now or never to make our changes. Let us give our children hope that
mankind after all have a place in the great circle on Mother Earth.
