Dear Friend and Reader,<\/p>\n

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla<\/strong><\/a> was a Roman Catholic priest who became an important figure in the Mexican Revolution against Spain. Many Mexicans refer to him as the “Father of the Country.” He has earned his place in history as a figure of independance against oppressors. Eric has written about Hidalgo’s delineation in this article<\/strong><\/a>.\u0412\u00a0Sedna, according to Melanie Reinhart, is an energy involved in the acceptance of trauma, and of growing depsite that. We wrote a piece discussing the delineation of Sedna<\/strong><\/a> on the anniversary of her discovery day.<\/p>\n

I think that this opposition serves as an image of the role our government has played in separating us from the Earth and also of ourselves. You could almost say that the two go hand-in-hand. Personally, I believe there is a tremendous connection between the ways in which we treat the Earth and her creatures with how we treat our own bodies.<\/p>\n

Think of it this way: if we are microcosms of the Universe, doesn’t the body mirror the Earth? And Hidalgo in this instance would serve as the spirit. He had a strong connection to the Amerindian people of his country, the people who successfully lived off the land for a very long time. He wrote discourses in Nahuatl, the Aztec language.<\/p>\n

We are in a situation where the oceans, Sedna’s territory, are shrinking. Many animals who were once thought of as plentiful are threatened by extinction<\/strong><\/a>. We are given images of separation every day in the news: topics about fear and death are delivered to us by way of anecdotes of murder, rape and crime. It is hard for us to want to extend warm emotions to our neighbors. We all know that oil is bad, but our choices are slim as far as limiting our intake of this non-renewable resource.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am one of those people that believes it is up to the government to make these choices easier for us. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that if everything suddenly went 100% green and everyone got a free bike and a clean sidewalk to ride it on all of our problems would be cleared up, but I am saying that our government encourages many harmful substances to take up space on the retail shelves<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

A lot of food that is no good for us is cheaper than the food that can keep us alive and possibly even disease free. There comes a certain point where we realize our situation as a people is largely defined by how much we consume. I know for myself that I do a lot of other things besides shop and eat — but when I think of ways I come into direct contact with my government other than shopping and eating, I am at a loss.<\/p>\n

What Hidalgo and Sedna present us with is an emphasis on the fact that we, as the people, have the power to change the course of history in our hands. If we can do that for ourselves, by understanding our existence is perched between some grueling double-standards, than we can do this for the Earth.<\/p>\n

Reinhart writes: \u0432\u0402\u045aEven in the face of unrelenting trauma and suffering, we can, indeed must, beat our drum and sing to life.” Sounds like the heartbeat of the revolution to me.<\/p>\n

Long live the creatures of the Earth.<\/p>\n
