Earth and Color


"The heart never knows the color of the skin," said Chief Dan George. "Our heart only knows blood, and blood is always red. Humans are daughters and sons of the Red River. Yes, somebody appeals to blood to claim special descent, to define their race. They are ready to spill anybody else blood. Do they get surprised when they see that it is just red? Exactly like theirs, when others, pretending like them to be superior, spill their red blood?"

Very likely, not a single human is "pure blood." Unquestionably not the Europeans. Surely not the Mediterraneans. Certainly not the Italians. I was curious, and I took a DNA test. I was amazed and pleased by the different percentages of so many diverse people in my metissage.

"Where are you from?" this is the odd question I too often have to hear. I don't remember the place where and when I was born, even if I know its name. So, don't ask me where from I come. Ask me where I go instead. That is way more interesting, and maybe you will discover you would like to share a piece of the road with me. Yes, we are all born alone, and we'll die alone.

It's better to travel through Life together.

Dear Vince I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your meaningful messages, which always touch me deeply in my heart. How true, the blood of all people and animals is red and how often do I catch myself feeling that my blood is something special! Thank you very much for your deep words and the reminder! lovely wishes! Bobcat

Beautiful and important message for us all. We all come from Spirit. We live on Mother Earth. Our bloodline is Human. That is the truth for us all.
