I was attending an international conference concerning water and I was really impressed with just how many nations showed up to discuss how the source of water is changing in their countries. I got my first ever glimpse of an actual representative of the famous Zulu tribe . They were also discussing just how water is important for their land. He said the land is a healer in South Africa , and if for some reason they become displaced somewhere that they hope it’s near water or a river, because, he said, water is a healer.
Then we were shown a video message from, apparently, one of South Africa’s most well known healer, and his message was that Zulu’s are taught to respect those around them, the earth, everything on this planet. But, they are moving away from old traditions and must begin to return to their traditions. He continued to say that this is how we will heal our world.
The entire conference was focused on how to accomplish the task of healing earth, even if the ice is melting. It was brought up that ice is relatively easy to melt compared to the ice of the human heart.
Then, that evening after I had dinner at a restaurant in one of the luxury hotels South Africa has, I returned to the conference to hear a special message from the Dalai Lama‘s official representative, who said that as we enter the new millennium, this will be a good time to walk as human beings. We must work for a more compassionate and peaceful world and where ever we see an opportunity to benefit others, we should do so without thinking about self interest.
The conference ended with all the nations coming together in a huge circle, we had to go outside to accomplish this, and send out prayers and gratitude for the earth to be able to heal.
