Type of Wounded Place
Story & Experience
We went to one of our favorite, sacred spots on the ranch (our pond, the site of last year’s ceremony and miracle rain having filled again with the May rains which also created the deadly floods along the Blanco River) for our ceremony honoring all wounded places and envisioning the redistribution of flood waters to drought stricken areas. The body of the bird had been a part of last year’s bird that was inundated by that night’s rain. House guests “rescued” it and brought it to me with a thank-you note and flowers! When we finished the bird we each had water poured into our hands which we then poured onto the bird as we stated our global earth Intention in just one word.
