Bless all the children of Netjer, known and unknown!
May your coming be peaceful.

When you go about today, observe the world.

Observe people, rocks, trees, animals, water...observe everything that is.

Look closer. Look so closely that you can see the very fingerprints of the Creator, for indeed, they are there.

All creations, from the lowly amoeba to the newborn child, are the masterpieces of Khnum, Potter of the Gods. With His loving, strong hands, callused with millennia of work, I would imagine....it is He Who makes the stuff of potential reality.

No thing on this planet -- not even the planet itself -- does not reflect His tender care.

Be in the world of Creations today. Give thanks to Khnum in darkness, for in the darkness of the Nun, potential begins to be molded into the shapes of the universe.

Dua Khnum! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:

As we come closer to the beginning of the second month of Inundation, we prepare for the major festival of Opet, honoring the Holy Family of Waset: Amun, Mut and Khonsu.

Rejoice -- for the Inundation is rising, bringing with it the joy of a new year and new ideas, new beginnings and blessings from Netjer. What will you begin? What will you bring to Netjer as part of your New Year resolution?

May the Holy Family bless you with life, prosperity, health and all good things today and every day.

Dua Amun! Dua Mut! Dua Khonsu! Nekhtet!

Today we honor the Feast of Nekhbet and the Day of Peace between Heru and Set.

Peace begins when understanding begins. Peace is what happens when people have respect for themselves and also for each other. Peace is not possible without an open mind, a loving heart, and empty hands.

Peace is not difficult but often appears that way because it cannot be approached except deliberately. It is a choice and not a chance. It is something everyone needs for themselves, and by extension for everyone. Peace, just like its opposites, grows or withers according to the amount of attention it is given.

I ask Nekhbet the protective Mother to grant all of Her children the gift of peace in all its forms, so that they might carry it forth to the world with the strength of the Reconciled Contenders, Heru and Set.

Dua Nekhbet! Dua Heru! Dua Set! Nekhtet!

Thought for the Day:
"Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice."

I look forward to seeing Shemsu and Remetj in our biweekly Dua services tonight in honor of New Moon and Wesir. We'll also honor today's Names, Amun and Heka.

It was wonderful to meet with some of you over the weekend at our Midwest area gathering and to share with you a visit to the Kemetic ancestors at the Field Museum. Dua-Netjer for coming and sharing that with us! Photographs of this and our retreat and some other recent events should start appearing on the boards soon -- I know our web team is hard at work.

While it is easy often to think of this only as an online endeavor, things are happening offline, more than ever -- which is so very exciting! It is truly Netjer's blessing that Its people are able to gather, in small numbers or large, physically as well as via media like the Internet. How lucky we are to have each other!

May Amun, the Hidden One, and Heka, the Authoritative Speech, remind us that we are never alone and that all one has to do is reach out.

Dua Amun! Dua Heka! Nekhtet!
