So what exactly are Psalms? Most emphatically the Psalms must be read as poems; as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities
We have our modern day prophets shouting from the corners and playing in our ears time after time. Do we heed their voices or hear their words? It’s entirely up to you. I love finding really important messages from my contemporary brothers & sisters. So sing that psalm and give me a modern day message and I’m a happy puppy.

WELCOME HOME!
The Rainbow Family of Living Light
welcomes you to our
Family Gathering
Each year, The Family holds the Gathering of the Tribes, a totally free, non-commercial sharing of our lives and sacred hearts in the Cathedral of Nature.
There is no authoritarian hierarchy here. We have a tribal anarchy where we take care of each other, because we recognize that we are all One. The Gathering works because each of us takes the responsibility for doing what needs to be done, and for teaching… Continue

My mate and I spent 2 years in Waveland MS. Just after Katrina, I made many close friendships in the General public, Mayors office, Fire department, I stand witness to both the good and bad that can happen to, with and after a large scale disaster. I have seen the joy of grateful mommas and poppas, and blessed with almost daily miracles. Smiles

As we arrived in Mississippi at the beginning of December it was evident 150 miles from the coast that much damage was wrought when Katrina danced her way inland. Waveland was on the eastern side of the eye of the hurricane. Meteorologists know that as the most powerful section of that type of storm. As the storm made landfall Katrina brought 9 tornados,

Caution: This part of the story isn’t very fluffy and deals with the struggles we came upon in the beginning days of the camp. We didn’t see the Rainbow magic often at our humble start.
We pretty much hit the ground running, we found ourselves having to serve food to the public within hours of arriving. We had not planned for what was about to happen so we simply started out the Rainbow way.

Down but not Out…
During our short time on the lot in Bayside Park we made many good connections. One that I will remember for the rest of my life was Charles Clements. Everyone called him “Cappie” because he had once been a longtime Captain of his own shrimp boat. Later in life he owned a marine repair shop that he lost during Katrina, but he was still known by everyone as Cappie. You can read his amazing survival story in the book “Hell and High Water”. Cappie was 71 at the time and he let Mo… Continue
"Mitakuye Oyas'in" or "All my Relatives"
Most often people outside the Native American spiritually will think of this, as we are all brothers and sisters. This in part is true but the Native Americans literal words and the actual meaning behind them hold a much superior denotation. The actual meaning is; “We are all related, and we are relate to all things”. Now looking at this deeper meaning one can see that they saw and respected their status in the grand scheme of things. Not so crazy an ide… Continue

I am sharing this in response to a message sent to me from Nomad where in he shares with me some thoughts on fear and death,
{"Fear is the dark ones' most powerful weapon against the light because the energy of fear not only forms a barrier between the consciousness and the soul, it refuels the darkness to keep it thriving. Another means of achieving that two-way objective as well as reducing the world's population was developing various strains of "flu" viruses. An important part of this diabo… Continue

I was living in Oregon with Patty in the late 70s. I got lucky and caught a rather large Steelhead. For you non-fishermen, a Steelhead is a Rainbow trout that has gone out to sea for a few years, then comes back up to spawn like the salmon. Unlike the salmon, Steelhead don’t die. They stick around a while, gorge on new-born trout, then head back out to the ocean. This one kept me running up and down the stream for a few hours. I used light tackle, so I couldn’t muscle him in.
When I finally got… Continue

Some passages from the Family’s 1977
Declaration of Interdependence
We the people of this nation, each with our own freedom and responsibility, recognizing the absolute
power of Love in our lives, do hereby declare our interdependence, and do set forth this plan and these
many visions to bring forth alternative system of spirit, supply, law, organization and trade, and so
become the new humans of the Lord of Love’s Plan for Earth.
This New nation is being established in our hearts and minds and… Continue
It is before sunrise. The sun seems to be sleeping later these days. Today , a lengthy stretch of my body and a fat lick from the hound awakens the realization of necessity ….. Coffee. As I arise and dress I shiver. The heat of summer has become not a burden but a wish, of the morning, to still be the fretted sunshine and heat of august. The birds sing earlier now, as to say squirrel the time has come, be quick, store you stash as you soon will be blocked by snow . Too much. Back to the morning… Continue

Each day I am witness to mankind's collective struggle to repel encroaching mother nature. With their paving, chopping, cutting and building. Their fingers wore to the bone, their children's ,children's fingers wore to the bone ,battling to repair their father and mothers work. When will man put aside their fears of dirt and water. They cannot stop mother nature at any cost; at any price of life. It is forever unforgiving to them that fear and try to control it. It pushes itself thru the cracks… Continue
