9th White Buffalo, Wahos'i 
"meaning Messenger"  Thanks to Michael McCarty, AKA Standing Stone, who reminded SE of this event. 

Greetings, 
On behalf of the O'Rourke Family, I am honored to be allowed to announce the birth of another sacred white buffalo calf. Born on the Double E Buffalo Ranch in Vanderbilt Michigan on August 7, 2001, this female calf is now healthy and strong and already beginning the color changes as foretold in the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Sioux prophecies and the stories of many Native American Nations. Incredibly, this is the 9th white buffalo calf born since Miracle was born in August of 1994 in Janesville, Wisconsin. 

Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Keeper of the Original Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, sent these words to me about this wonderful new calf yesterday..... 

"White Buffalo Calf Woman's spirit would make her presence known as sign of great changes signifying the Crossroads. I never dreamed I would live to witness this momentous time. Eight other white buffalo have since stood upon Mother Earth. White Buffalo Calf Woman's spirit has announced her message of support in this time of great danger, and she continues to announce the message in the birth of each White Buffalo--each one of them a Sign, each one a fulfillment of ancient Prophecy as well as a new Prophecy for our times."

The O'Rourke Family is deeply and sincerely grateful to Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Original Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, for gifting this calf
with her beautiful and truly spiritual name, Wahos'i.

Tapestry of Remembrance 
For Sept 11th Victims to Be Created by Local Textile Artist. 

Minneapolis, MN - A life-size tapestry to honor and remember the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks is being created by local textile artist, Mindy de Marmion. The purpose of the tapestry, "Towers of Peace - A Tapestry of Remembrance and UnityTM", is to serve as a healing symbol for the victims of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the Pennsylvania plane crash, as well as to honor these victims as heroes. Once the tapestry is created, it will be presented to the cities of New York, Washington D.C., and Somerset County, Pennsylvania for display purposes. 

The tapestry will be created from garments owned by the victims of September 11th. To create this tribute, all families of all victims worldwide will be invited to contribute a piece of fabric from a garment that belonged to each of the victims. These pieces will be joined together to create the tapestry. The name and birth date of each victim will be permanently inscribed on the back side of the tapestry. A not-for-profit corporation of the same name, Towers of Peace-A Tapestry of Remembrance and Unity, has been created to handle the logistics involved in creating the tapestry. First National Bank of the Lakes, Navarre, MN will serve as the funds host for the tapestry project. 

Mindy de Marmion, owner of Pieced on Earth by Late Bloomers, a local textile arts business, has been creating wearable art, wall pieces and hand-dyed textiles for 6 years. Her work has appeared in galleries and boutiques in the Minneapolis and Duluth areas, and has been accepted in local art shows, as well.

"The events of September 11th absolutely devastated me and I searched not only for a healing outlet for my own grief, but also for a way to use my art to help heal the wound that terrorism has inflicted on our world. This tapestry is my way of honoring the heroes of September 11th, and also honoring America's unwavering commitment to freedom."

Princess Diana's Message
 January 5, 2001, channeled through Marcia McMahon 
Diana, Eternal Voice of Love

M: I'm here for you, so speak through me if you wish.

D: So without further adieu, we'll begin. Today I wish to address the increasing pressures around the world that things need to be brought to peace with regards Palestine. If only your leaders will focus on just that one issue so much suffering can be averted through diplomacy alone!

M: I saw where the US sent an ambassador to begin negotiations with Palestine and Israel. I think we're all a little tired of all the violence there. I just wonder if once they get the state of Palestine if they'll ever get along!

D: Indeed, it seems impossible, but it isn't. Justice begins in the heart chakra, and that is where both parties, Mr. Arafat and Mr. Sharon need to feel compassion for one anthers' plight. 

M: Indeed, instead of all that blame they are constantly finger pointing like children.

D: Exactly, and we as a world all need to grow up and learn to treat one another with respect and dignity instead of deception, violence and greed. Fairness is something that nations as well as persons need to practice, those virtues we all cherish and strive to make part of our daily vocabulary.

M: I certainly do. Fairness is hard in an unfair world, sometimes it seems as though I go out of my way to be fair and find myself unfairly treated in many situations still. Why is that Diana?

D: Fairness is in the heart chakra. One must feel fairness and the ability to understand the other. So few are in touch with their emotions of the heart. So it's hard for them to be fair. They are what you call "hard". Your heart tells you when you are doing something detrimental to another and those of us who follow our heart, have no trouble in life with how we treat others. But we can't ask those who aren't as evolved as we are to feel in their hearts what damage they are doing. If they felt it for even one moment, they wouldn't do it any longer. The situations in the Middle East are just exaggerated children's games. They feel no mercy for those who loose their life in suicide bombings or for those who are invaded by Israeli tanks. This they get to view in full detail when they reach our side, and see the sickness and horror they inflict on innocent lives. This violence has to stop! The human race must now more than ever, reach forth a helping hand, and a heart of mercy words those of whatever "other " side there is. It is indeed the only way to peace. Open your heart chakra more and you will begin to notice the feelings of others toward you, and other miracles as well.

M: Diana those are wonderful words of wisdom and I feel that we all need to open our hearts when we get confused and defensive about how others treat us.

D: I do know how it feels to be under pressure to perform tasks and work with the public in a meaningful way. Sometimes just the slightest gesture of kindness, the word of mercy or a hand shake can be so much to someone who is suffering.

M: Di, I've seen you in all the pictures comforting the dying, the lonely, the elderly, the afraid. You are an inspiration to me, and to many. You certainly had the art of comfort and upliftment. It's a little harder when dealing with those who are being ugly for no apparent reason.

D: Oh, I've plenty of experience dealing with them too. It takes a self-determination and confidence that what you are all about is goodness, love, and light. Nothing can stop me now, just as they couldn't stop me when I was living. They think they shut me up, but now I've channels like you all over the world bringing forth a different aspect of myself in such a way as to more powerfully convey the very essence of me, which of course was love. I was the Princess of Love and still am, forever more. I am Diana, eternal voice of love.
