I haven't been able to watch the horrifying images of adults and children fleeing the fiery inferno in the Alberta/Canada tarsands this past week without continually weeping. I have friends who are directly affected. The deeper meaning is glaringly obvious to me but not to the majority of lost souls who wander through the dense 3D fog and smoke trying to find their way out. The black, oily energy fueling the rape and disfigurement of Mother Earth is horribly misaligned so must unwind and re-align, yes. We're all part of the collective consciousness, so of course everyone is affected. Canadians are stepping up to the plate with incredible generosity to help those in need, but no amount of money will suffice to turn the tide as greed and exploitation continue to pillage and plunder our sorry world. Industrial civilization will continue to collapse and burn this reality to the ground. I feel this strongly. But, like the phoenix, we will rise from the ashes. Gaia has ascended to 5D and waits for us with open arms. It's time to let go and join her.

All week long, I have been placing my right hand over my heart to center myself as I feel it shatter, so the light can break through the cracks and emanate outwards to shine the way home for others. Beacons of light we are.

I take great comfort and courage from your article, Open. Thank you.

Cathy
