SONG OF THE FLOWER
I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements
With whom Winter conceived;
To whom Spring gave birth; I was
Reared in the lap of Summer and I
Slept in the bed of Autumn.
At dawn I unite with the breeze
To announce the coming of light;
At eventide I join the birds
In bidding the light farewell.
The plains are decorated with
My beautiful colors, and the air
Is scented with my fragrance.
As I embrace Slumber the eyes of
Night watch over me, and as I
Awaken I stare at the sun, which is
The only eye of the day.
I drink dew for wine, and hearken to
The voices of the birds, and dance
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.
I am the lover’s gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
But I look up high to see only the light,
And never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn.
Kahlil Gibran

Another Canada Day is virtually right around the corner
What are we celebrating anyway?
Canada Day celebrates the birthday of Canada. On July 1, 1867 Canada became a new federation with its own constitution by signing the Constitution Act – formerly known as the British North America Act.
Whatever you decide to do to celebrate — enjoy … and green blessings.
Happy Birthday Canada!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT – YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
“It’s easier to fool the masses than to convince them that they are being fooled.” – Mark Twain
The other day someone mentioned that they were continuing to live as always, just pretending that everything is normal while making sure to remain “under the radar”… : THIS IS THE PROBLEM!
We need to EDUCATE ourselves, SPEAK UP, STAND UP and TAKE BACK OUR POWER NOW!
See #4 “Taking Action Made Easy”!
Green Blessings,

FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW
(1) Prof. Trevor Marshall estimates that the continuous exposure to radiation will increase 10,000 times because of the deployment of the “new” wireless technology. Imagine all the children who are playing outside for hours being exposed to this amount of radiation; and so will anyone else going for a walk!
(2) No more escaping in nature! Right now, when you go for a walk in the forest, you can enjoy time away from all the background radiation and noise. Therefore, you can still re-charge your batteries and benefit fully from the communication with nature – regardless of if you are conscious of these effects or not.
Once all the satellites (I have heard estimates between 20,000 and 60,000) are being deployed, all living beings will literally be bombarded non-stop with radiation – no matter where we live and where we are. No more reprieve in nature! These satellites will be radiating the entire planet at all times, making it impossible for us to get away from this destructive technology.
(3) As early as 1973 (!) the WHO organization (among others) sponsored a symposium in Warsaw, Poland, entitled Biologic Effects and Health Hazards of Microwave Radiation. The symposium was attended by approx. 60 researchers specializing in the biological effects of microwaves on humans.
The result was a 350-page classified document, meaning strictly confidential and not to be shared with the public! The document outlines the adverse effects of microwave radiation on our health incl. behavioural problems. The report is now https://www.emfoff.com/symposium

“THE FLOWERS OF TOMORROW ARE IN THE SEEDS OF TODAY” Author unknown
My mind is filled with thoughts and questions about what is currently happening in the world. Our children, the plant and animal kingdom, and Mother Earth cannot make their own voices heard. We therefore owe it to them to stand up and speak up on behalf of them. Educating ourselves about the current realities and taking action, is critical if we want to be instrumental in creating positive change, securing our rights and freedoms and a planet that will continue to be able to provide in a healthy way for all – now and in the future.

WEEDS FOR WELLNESS – DANDELION
Finally the bright yellow flowers are brightening the landscape – a sure sign that spring is here to stay.
Hard to believe that herbalists have great appreciation for this marvelous creation of nature? We use flowers, buds, leaves and roots as food and medicine. My grand kids nibble on the flowers and young leaves.
Last year I made a crown out of Dandelion flowers for my then 4 year old grand daughter. She was wearing it proudly as we walked into Canadian Tire. With great joy I observed the reactions of customers especially when we were wandering around the Round-up shelf. So much fun!
Be creative and “brave” – eat flowers and young leaves, add both to salads, make a Dandelion flower cold infusion. decorate ice creams and cakes … and most of all, have fun and be grateful for the gift of this plant that most consider to be a pesky weed.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT – QUESTIONS, CONCERNS AND REFLECTIONS
“You can look the other way, but you can never say, you did not know.”
— William Wilberforce
Having been raised by parents who lived through World War 2 and who instilled in us the importance of looking “behind the curtain” of what is happening, is probably one of the reasons why I decided to write this post. We were encouraged to ask questions, look for and request answers. Many questions and concerns arise for me during this current, somewhat surreal and unsettling crisis that is affecting the entire globe.
· THE SPREAD OF FEAR
Governments and the media have instilled unreasonable fear in many people surrounding the Covid-19 crises. A well-known fact is that fear suppresses the immune system. But not only this, fear breeds mistrust, interferes with independent, critical thinking and can lead to unquestionable obedience.
Fear is a powerful currency, potentially leading to devastating consequences.
· WHEN RUMORS TURN INTO FACTS
Rumor had it that doctors in Alberta are reporting Covid-19 as cause of death even when Covid-19 is not involved. This rumor has been confirmed to me through individuals being directly affected by this. When the doctors involved, were questioned about this, the answer was: “We are required to do this because of funding.”
I know that funding increases with Covid-19 cases; however, is this the only reason? We know this to be true from the US as well. Why are doctors pressured to lie? Why are doctors willing to follow unethical guidelines? You may want to think about this for a moment and contemplate what this really means and the far-reaching implications this might have.
· FREEDOM OF SPEECH
I cannot help but wonder and notice how much information “disappears” quickly from the internet and social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. Why? Even though I am not much of a “Facebooker” or social media person, I have noticed this worrisome trend. Informed discussion/debate allowing different, even opposing views, is not only important but vital in order to make decisions that are based in truth and in the best interest of society, patients etc. What is happening?
TOPICS that I am aware of that appear to be typically TARGETED:
- Information questioning some of the medical approaches around Covid-19.
- Info relating to the dangers of the implementation of the new network. I strongly encouraged you to inform yourself about the risks (to your health and otherwise) of this technology.
- Information questioning the, especially rushed, development of a “preventative cure” for Covid-19 and its potential far reaching consequences.
· SCIENCE AND MEDICINE
Science is supposed to be objective, trustworthy and the foundation of medicine. Yet, a lot of what is happening right now around Covid-19 defies the principles of science. Unfortunately, this is not only unique to this situation. Scientific findings are being ignored in the name of progress even if numerous, often hundreds of studies, have proven the detrimental effects of technology such as smart meters. Why is it that we continue to claim certain products, technologies and developments as safe even though we know better?
· DATA IS COMING IN
Data continues to come in from many different sources. For example, in Hamburg, Germany autopsies are performed on every person who died with the diagnosis of Covid-19. The coroner Professor Klaus Pueschel, head of the department of forensic medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) explains his findings in an interview, April 27, 2020.
Over 100 autopsies have been performed. Every individual autopsied had at least one, often more than one, (severe) previous underlying condition (cardio-vascular; respiratory, liver, metabolic diseases i.e. diabetes etc.). The deceased ranged from 50-100 years in age with an average age of 80. According to Pueschel, there is no need to be afraid of this virus. There are many other dangers in life that are more threatening to our well-being than COVID-19.
According to Scott W. Atlas, MD, the David and Joan Traitel Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and the former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, “The overwhelming majority of people do not have any significant risk of dying from COVID-19. The recent Stanford University antibody study now estimates that the fatality rate if infected is likely 0.1 to 0.2 percent, a risk far lower than previous World Health Organization estimates that were 20 to 30 times higher and that motivated isolation policies.”
· CONCLUSION
I am not asking anyone to agree with me. Maybe my reflections will spark a healthy debate and initiate some critical thinking, in the end, allowing us to move forward in freedom.
