Listen deep to the old stories...

and go seeking your lost songlines. They are already singing you.

Diana ~ from Sara K Byrne's Multi-Layered Portraits

Listen deep to the old stories and you will hear the rumble of your roots, the flap of your wings, the cries and shouts of joy of your ancestors.

Listen deep to the old stories and hear them whir within your DNA and resound in the world around you, from deepest ocean to most distant star, in every form imaginable.

Listen deep to the old stories and hear your wisest voice of guidance and your most innocent foolish chatter.

Listen deep to the old stories and they will map a path that is sure to lead you to a well, which quenches every thirst.

Listen deep to the old stories and be transformed from the duck you thought you were to the swan you know you are. Such recognition! You are a story being told yourself!

When we heal ourselves, we also heal our ancestors...

"I had a vision the ancestors told us to heal the world.

When we heal ourselves, we also heal our ancestors, 

our grandmothers, our grandfathers, and our children. 

When we heal ourselves, we also heal mother earth.” 

~ Grandmother Rita Pitka Blumenstein
