As the ravages of climate change multiply, I am celebrating the end of the beautiful life I have enjoyed in the company of bears and coyotes and eagles and crows and children and their oceanic relatives living in the Great Barrier Reef.
At the end of their 40,000 years on Turtle island the Indigenous people created the Ghost Dance to celebrate the end of their way of life. I have written a book "Requiem for a Dying World" that suggests ceremonies, rituals we can do today to celebrate and ritually honor the end of this beautiful world.
Just as the Contagion-infected white people destroyed the Indigenous world, so too are they destroying the physical world we live in. Honor the passing of the polar bears. Requiem for the passing of the great glaciers. Requiem for the death of the poets and musicians and the beauty they created. In spite of the ugliness of the way of greed, there was beauty here. There was cascading water and placid pools. There were songs and prayers and hawks. There was love.
