Today is . Please join me in celebrating these magnificent creatures, holding them in our hearts, and seeing them safe from the poaching that threatens their continuation in the wild.
A message and a prayer from the Collective Consciousness of Rhino:
"Humanity is experiencing a great emptiness. Hearts and minds are disconnected, walking through the world, but not seeing, blind to the beauty that is all around them. Rhino, large and powerful, our skin like armour, we have been targeted. People see us, and think we are different. They think that the horns we grow have magical medicinal properties. They are part of our bodies and ours alone. Looking externally, people seek to fill the void they find, cure the illness they face, placing all their hope and value upon the powder of the ground horn. Do they not realize the brutality involved in its acquisition? The pain and trauma that is embedded in the memory of our cells? A substance acquired in such a way could never be healing. Humanity must wake up. There is a spiral of chaos, growing more scattered and more disconnected as the plants and animals on our planet are destroyed without thought. You cannot live without us. Each species destroyed is a part of the whole that is lost, and cannot be replaced. Each one of us plays a part in the collective. First as part of our own species, then in the greater whole. All are connected. The intentions and actions must be stronger of those who know this as truth. Stay focused on this, and pour love and compassion out to those who do not understand. They are the ones who suffer the greatest."
May the Rhino stay strong, stand tall and proud. Our beautiful horns, the target for our demise, remain intact. There is no need to poison, or remove it so that we might live. We pray for the people who seek to use our horn as medicine. Let their eyes and hearts be opened to known that what they take from our horn is found in their own bodies. It is not the answer. Our species is crying out - enough - how many more must be slaughtered before the perceptions of humankind shift? The Rhino hearts of the world unite, and see all, particularly those in South Africa, safe and protected. We pray for the forgiveness of those involved in our poaching may they find a better way to support themselves, as in killing our Rhino, they kill part of themselves. We see all Rhino as whole, healthy and magnificent, and safe to roam the lands, proudly displaying the horn. May people respect us, see us as fellow beings, and let us live. May the Rhino numbers of those poached grow less and less, our population blooms and flourishes. And so it is.
