Tribal efforts make a huge difference!

My tribe is caring, friendly, loving, peaceful, spiritual, generous and over all THE BEST.  I've worked hard to surround myself with people that can hold the charge of what I feel life is all about.  Yesterday a huge group of them showed up at our home fire to bring in the fire wood for my mother-in-law.  She lives off grid with us here and has been feeling ill for some time and she is not capable of doing this work herself any more.  With me being ill too, that resulted in a huge challenge to bring in the fire wood for the season.  

The tribe stepped up and helped us.  In 4 short hours the tribe hauled out 8 cords of wood and split and stacked half of it.  Saved me weeks of work and I'm sure my mother-in-law will feel much better too, knowing her heat for the winter is taken care of.

I do indeed feel grateful as yesterday wiped me out and I find myself exhausted from working all day yesterday.  No words can ever express the level of gratitude and appreciation that I feel for my tribe, whether they were able to come and help or not.  Some of them had other commitments, but I still feel gratitude for them too as I know they would have been here if they could.

I've worked hard to give what I can to these beautiful spiritual beings without any expectation of having it returned back to me.  To be on the receiving end of such generosity is indeed humbling and deeply moving.  We had some tribe members loose their house just a few short weeks ago and the tribe stepped up for them too.  Nobody falls through the cracks when we have a tribe looking out for everyone.  

Nobody goes hungry or homeless.  But even more importantly, everyone has access to relationships that can nourish the spirit and protect the soul.  If the individual struggles with that reality, this tribe will step up to help with the healing that is necessary in order to hold the charge of what love really looks like.  

Nobody in this tribe is perfect or have life all figured out.  I include myself in that assessment.  However, when we work hard to heal, grow, examine our own shit, take risks in being vulnerable and confront oneself and others, magic happens.  I've worked for 20 years to build something like this in my life and I cannot express how much safety, peace and freedom a healthy tribe can bring to the lives of each member within that tribe.  

I feel more safe, secure and comfortable than I've EVER felt as a member of the Canadian 'society'.  That fictional tribe does not care about the people.  It is so large, bloated and corrupt, that people fall through the cracks all the time, but people still fight to protect it.

I stand as a witness to what happened yesterday.  I stand to testify that if we can find the courage to walk away from those fictional constructs and work hard to build relationships that allow tribe to manifest, our lives will indeed change for the better.  There is no better feeling than knowing that a group of dedicating, loving, caring individuals who HAVE YOUR BACK.

What is most amazing is that each individual gives what they can.  They are not asked to pull rabbits out of that hat when they have no hat or no rabbit.  Instead each individual gives what they can ... and it is always perfect.  

I trust Creator to ensure that what I need will be available when I need it.  My tribe is a group of angels who do Creators work to ensure those needs are met when needed.  I know that Creator works through their eyes, ears, heart and hands.  Of that I have no doubt.  Just as I know I do the same with the skills, talents and experiences that Creator gave me.  

Yesterday actually helped me out more than the tribe members know.  Yesterday I learned that my gifts are what I have to offer and that people really do appreciate, value and cherish them.  It may seem like nothing to me, but it is the world to others.  So I will continue to give what I can, even if it is not as much as it was when I was 2o or even 30 years old.  While my vessel struggles, my spirit still has a lot to offer and I will continue to offer those gifts for as long as my vessel breaths air.

My dear tribe members, ALL of you, I express my gratitude, appreciation and love for you all.  It does not matter if you were physically here helping us out or if you live half way around the world.  It does not matter if you swung an axe, chainsaw or soup ladle.  You are loved and appreciated.  Your gifts are an expression of your spirit.  Don't ever let others diminish them in any way.  Don't ever dismiss them yourself.  Your gifts may not seem like much to you, but they could change the world for somebody else.  

I've found in my own struggles, the ability to comprehend now why some people resonate with what I do.  Thank you for the gift of sight.  My heart grew another size yesterday.  Thank you.  I love you.
