Today is indeed the first day of the rest of my life. While i was out weeding one of my flower beds in the beautiful morning sun...I was overwhelmed by a glorious feeling of oneness. With a tear in my eye i just sat and listened.The wisdom of the mother infused me if only for a moment..I saw clearly my path! I was given at birth a name of a goddess. The name of my grandmother. My name is Slavic for...a gift from god. In ancient text...Goddess of the waters.My name is Iva. A vision so great i cannot describe in words was the gift i received! Just this morning i saw a world at peace...truly at peace. Not far from today.Not without great loss to many. The mother will swallow whole the lives of many.Through acts of man and acts of earth.Through fire.Much fire.Many will suffer.Through mans hands.We will be awakened!This my friends is a vision i almost did not share with you.But the time is near.Visions as this one were the reason i was told as a child that i was mentally ill. Mt Saint Helen's..A tsunami...great earthquakes...to things as cosmically small as my parents divorce..the attempt on my life..The birth of my children, who i was told i would never have.This is a time for love..not fear.A time to embrace...not hate.
