Voices of Spencer Creek Valley

Spiritual teacher, healer, and great cook, Paurnamasi Waki is currently in New Mexico soaking up the great Southwest's regional culture and sun but part of her heart still communes with the Northwest and Spencer Creek Valley, especially at misty harvest time. Paurnamasi e-mailed her peace prayer. She wrote her recipes when she produced a booklet to benefit the San Juan island where she lived, the Guemes Island's Environmental Trust. The booklet is called A Potpourri of Pumpkin Pleasures, a compilation of pumpkin recipes from many sources.

A PRAYER TO HEAL THE EARTH


Sit quietly and lift your awareness towards the Divine offering this prayer:

Divine Creator, we bring before You humanity's ignorance, negativity and
greed which seem to be blocking the healing flow of Love from moving into
the Earth.

Please connect us to all frequencies which assist You in effectively
shifting this situation. As we hold this meditative space we ask that You:

Please bring the Earth into full expression of Her Original Divine
Blueprint. Please restore and complete Her Arc of Light, all Receptors, and
Her radiant protective systems.

On as many levels as possible bring the Earth into balance in these areas:
Her intellectual, intuitive, electrical and magnetic functions; Her
skeletal systems, circulatory systems and meridian systems; and please
clear all surface interferences.

Please integrate and activate the Earth's grid lines, their intersecting
points and the entire grid system bringing it to Her originally designed
divine functioning.

On as many levels as possible please clear and heal the Earth's vast
complex of internal and external systems.

Please infuse the entire Earth with Divine Light. (Pause a moment: breathe
deeply to visualize, acknowledge and integrate these changes.)

We humbly request assistance from all forms of Divinity, known and unknown,
to support the Earth during Her shift into wholeness.

Please anchor these changes into the physical quickly and gently as we
joyfully express our humble gratitude for this opportunity to help in the
healing of our Divine Mother, Earth.
Thank You.

This prayer has been given with the greatest sense of urgency. Please print
it out, repeat it often, and share it freely. Please copy this prayer onto
a new memo and sent it to as many people as you can think of: friends,
officials, educators. (Remember to use the blind copy ("bcc") address space
to preserve everyone's privacy.)

5 pounds pumpkin, pared and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon broken stick cinnamon
1 quart vinegar
4 pounds of sugar

Place pumpkin in a kettle. Tie spices in cheesecloth. Add sugar to vinegar, heat to boiling and boil 5 minutes, pour over pumpkin. Cook until tender. Place in sterile jars. Cover with vinegar syrup and seal at once.

Pumpkin Pudding

The rum adds a flavor twist to this pudding. Makes 6 servings.

11/2 cup fresh pumpkin
4 eggs, separated
1/2 cup light cream
2 to 4 tablespoons rum
1/2 light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon each of ginger, cloves, and nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Whipped cream

Remove the seeds and peel from the pumpkin and cut into small pieces. Cook in boiling water until tender . Drain and mash thoroughly into a puree. Cool slighty. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat the eggs yolks until thick and lemon colored. Combine the yolks with the pumpkin puree, cream rum, brown sugar and spices. Mix thoroughly until blended. Fold in the beaten whites.

Place the mixture in a buttered 1 quart soufflé dish and bake 40-45 minutes. Serve at once with sweetened, flavored whipped cream.
