Yep, it was a surprise to me, too..

They are.

Yep. They are not the first people to be displaced by invasion, they
probably won't be the last.

Yep, it's not balanced, IMHO.

Natives don't have the monopoly on suffering. There are plenty of
white homeless folks who freeze to death every year.. and starve, and get
beaten or shot. Spoiled white kids have taken to shooting and beating each
other to death. Grief and pain are universal.

What makes you think I dunno how to embrace death, or life, or the
Earth?

I believe we can.
Believe me there are enough

I don't beleive in evil, all I see are humans acting from fear. What
do you fear?

You bet. That's the Tao.
My Priestess robes are black as the Void, because that is the color of
the Goddess. Black as the dark underground where the seeds spring from,
where the roots draw the nourishment from the Earth. Dark as the womb that
gives us birth.
But, I send ghosts into the light, coz that's where they belong.
Goddess sends them back if She figgers they have work to do.

Good for you! That is the path to empowerment, and self esteem. You
don't have to take anything from me, either. Why don't you ask your own
Inner Voice why your allergies act up when you are in the US? Perhaps it
will give you an answer you like better than my silly white light "New
Ager" ideas.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery
than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
