Heyla, Heyla, Amazon Sisters...I have a few words for you.
may our hearts be open.
The
Amazon Nation must be steward of the Earth;
Caretaker
for all that dwells upon it;
To
be of one heart with all things.
the
rocks, our bones;
The
rivers are the blood of our veins.
Respect
is for all, but it doesn't come easy. We must each define it
for
ourselves. For us...
Respect
means no interruption, no confrontation, no accusation
Respect
means no "mocking" of leaders, warriors; spiritual leaders,
elders.
Respect
means no lies between us.
Respect
means no betrayal of confidence.
Respect
means no "ripping off", no hoarding of gifts and talents,
no
"Lording it over" someone who is at the start of their quest.
Respect
means no ordering around, no yelling in anger, no bad
language,
no name calling.
Respect
means controlling yourself.
Respect
is not a commodity. It is a way of being.
Respect
is in our chest not in our hand.
Respect
is for all of life.
Respect
is for every species in the world, including all four races.
Respect
is for all our relations, and all our relationships.
Respect
is focusing on and dealing in "issues" and not "personalisms".
Respect
is focusing on "what" is right rather than "who" is right'
Respect
means ouning our own negativity and not being a "Blame
Shifter".
A "Blame Shifter" is one who projects or shifts her own
negativity
onto someone else. This is the process of bigotry, war,
and
genocide.
Respect
is keeping the lines of communication open with those
who
have a different opinion, and making a sincere attempt to
let
them be understood.
Respect
means listening until everyone has been heard and
understood,
only then is there a possibility for "Balance and
Harmony"
...the goal of Amazon spirituality.
