Share the dream world with a view. I can see the glory is near. Drawing all the beads of light today, to paint a beautiful word. And all we share in all our dreams, we come to behold. We are nearing to the reality, the growing of the old. Come dance with me today and we could find a way. Come dance with me today, it's time to pray. Sing on the highest trees, bow down with me. Kiss the earth with our taste, of bitterness overcome with grace. We will be true to you, even lessons that teach us about the blue. Getting older is learning to share, all the colors of the world we dare.(Get over the dooms day, get into the joyous daze! Bless your spaces! Leave your traces, a holy path that lasts.)Beads of light in everything, shimmer and shake to make us linger and stare. Such a beauty we feel. Such a wonder that is real. All the majestic mountain tops, the snow covered fields that are hard as rocks (mountain ranges). We are moving slowly into the waking of the Suns (all our relatives). We are on the run (traveling over waves of sound and light). Come and shake your dance with me. You can feel the enigmatomy (enigmatic multiplicity; mysterious, puzzles, riddles), it's time to bring us home, to the rising of the sunshine. Morning Star walk with me today, help me remember that feeling you display, when I welcome you for the day, my heart wants to leap with joyous waves.Sing and dance, the music I hear, the birds of song are singing near. You are part of this world, come and share all of your words. Sing abundantly where we walk. Come abundantly where we talk. It's about the waking of the Suns, it's about the shaking of the glorious Ones. It's a raving magical ride. It's so very wild I have to smile. Such fun it's been with you, the Sun did show me the way through. You are my song inside of me, singing out gloriously. We are the children of the stars, we bead all the colors are large. And such a painting we reveal. All the scattering of the seeds on the wheel. The spokes are learning to return, the circle where love is earned (filial duty). And each has a place to spout, to bring in home, just about, the rising sun within this daze. Come my children let us pray.(silence, drum continues deep and low)Beads of light in everything. All is glorious each every ring. I want to share and ring and dare, you are the greatest song I could sing. Bring it home each and every child. Bring it home, just for awhile. And you will sea my shore, the welcome door. Love will illuminate like a sun, to bring in happiness when you done on the run. Come sit with me for awhile. Sing a song and let our hearts smile. I will bless and pray along your waves. And the spokes of many will have their say. We pray they open their hearts, sing their loyal ark (brotherhood) and send blessings out to the world. For we are one family, the true blue affair.White Buffalo Calf Woman sings and Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star drums for all the Beads of Light a Painting Sow Bright.

For now the story is HOT, all that fire paints a mighty picture. May we all learn to bless with the waters of heaven, to bring back virtues in our hearts. We bow to the sacred nine streams and four holy beams, the directions and rings in our lives that guide us to unravel the great mystery.

"Cranes in the Pines" The influence of a Chinese Crane painting is for a long life that increases in wisdom. Throughout all of Asia - - China, Japan & Korea in particular, the crane has been a symbol of happiness, good fortune, longevity and eternal youth because of its fabled life span of a thousand years. The Chrysanthemums in the foreground symbolize an ease in life that is filled with good fortune. The life giving red sun rising in the east, a symbol of balance, is the most potent of symbols and source of purifying Yang energy. (Phoenix). All good things. http://chinatownwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=%E7%99%BE%E9%B6%B4%E5%9C%96_Hundred_Crane_Painting_%22Cranes_in_the_Pines.%22
Throughout history, birds have been viewed as animals of special value and have been ladened with meanings often derived from legends and stories that have survived over many generations. The Crane may conceivably be the oldest bird on earth; there is fossil proof that they existed over 60 million years ago. Greek and Roman myth tended to portray the dance of cranes as a love of joy and a celebration of life. The crane was usually considered to be a bird of Apollo, the sun god, who heralded in Spring and light. Throughout all of Asia, the crane has been a symbol of happiness and eternal youth. In Japanese, Chinese, and Korean tradition, cranes stand for good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years. Existing in fifteen species which inhabit five continents, the most majestic is the Japanese Crane which stands almost five feet tall with its wing span of more than six feet and its white body capped with its red crown. The Japanese refer to the crane as “the bird of happiness;” the Chinese as “heavenly crane” believing they were symbols of wisdom. The powerful wings of the crane were believed to be able to convey souls up to paradise and to carry people to higher levels of spiritual enlightenment. Over time, the crane has also evolved as a favorite subject of the tradition of paper folding – origami. It is said that a thousand folded cranes, one for each year of its life, makes a wish come true.
Shortly after the end of World War II, the folded origami cranes also came to symbolize a hope for peace through Sadako Sasaki and her unforgettable story of perseverance. Diagnosed with leukemia after being exposed to radiation after the bombing of Hiroshima, Sadako became determined to fold 1,000 cranes in hopes of recovering good health, happiness, and a world of eternal peace. Although she completed 644 before she died, her classmates folded the remaining 356 to honor her. A statue was raised in the Hiroshima Peace Park to commemorate her strong spirit.
Today this practice of folding 1,000 cranes represents a form of healing and hope during challenging times. After the events of September 11, as a gesture of support and healing, thousands of cranes were folded and linked together in chains and sent to fire and police stations, museums, and churches throughout New York City.
Traditionally, flocks of 1,000 cranes are offered at shrines or temples with prayer, based on the belief that the effort to fold such a large number will surely be rewarded. Chains are often given to someone suffering from illness, as a prayer for their recovery, as a wish for happiness, and as an expression of sympathy and peace. A prayer often spoken over time by mothers seeking the protection of cranes has been:
cover my child with your wings.”
As our S.O.S. community honors and remembers our loved ones, the rich symbolism of the crane lends to the meaning of our Out of the Darkness Community Walk with wishes for the end of suffering and for peace, not only for those we have lost to suicide, but also for those who presently suffer from depression - - this legendary bird who heralds us out of the darkness into the light...
cover us with your wings.”
Senbazuru
Senbazuru (Zenbazuru) is a group of one thousand origami cranes lined on a string.
Origami (in japanese oru - "folding", kami - "paper") is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The basic principle of origami is to make an object by using geometric folds and crease patterns. Everything should be done with no gluing or cutting the paper. Only one piece of paper is allowed to make one object.
Hiden Senbazuru Orikata
According to experts beginnings of origami can be traced in the 8th century. Japanese aristocrats of that time noticed creases on paper when folded during wrapping of gifts. The oldest book about origami was published in 1797 as "Hiden Senbazuru Orikata" ("Secret to Folding One-thousand Cranes").
Origami paper used in making Senbazuru is in most cases of solid colour. Still, paper with printed designs can also be bought. Standard size of paper used is 7.5 x 7.5 cm (about 3 x 3 inches). Like in many other things rules are there to be broken. So, some people use any kind of paper like for example that of a magazine.
Individual origami cranes are assembled to 25 strings with 40 cranes on each string. Whole sets of 1000 sheets of paper for making your Senbuzuru are available. Few extra sheets are usually added in case you make a mistake. Strings and beads that prevent the cranes from slipping are also part of sets.
Origami cranes
Cranes are big birds with long legs and long necks. Cranes belong to the order Gruiformes, and family Gruidae. They are known for their beauty and spectacular mating dances. They became part of mythology in many cultures.
Red-crowned cranes
As to Japanese mythology, cranes („tancho“) belong to the mystical or holy animals (other two are dragon and tortoise). For the Japanese crane is "the bird of happiness" or "Honourable Lord Crane". Seeing two cranes at one time is known to be good luck.
It is believed that cranes live for thousand years. There are numerous Japanese legends about this belief. Let's mention the one about great warrior Yorimoto who lived in the 12th century. When he died his soul was transformed into a crane and flew away.
Yorimoto used to attach labels to the legs of cranes. This labels contained a short message asking all those who capture cranes to write the name of their place and then re-release the birds. Many centuries after Yorimoto's death there were reports by people claiming that they saw those cranes.
Cranes are a popular theme in the traditional Japanese art. Perfect example for this claim is the 15 metres long scroll with cranes made by Tawaraya Sotatsu in the early 17th century. The scroll is now kept in the Tokyo National Museum.
Why do people make Senbazuru? There is a legend which says that folding thousand origami cranes will make a wish, like for example long life or recovery from illness or injury, come true.
Senbazuru is traditionally given as a wedding present. It is a wish for a thousand years of happiness and prosperity for the couple. Many give Senbazuru to a newly born baby too.
Senbazuru
People in Japan believe that having a Senbazuru hanged inside home will bring good luck. Relatively new tradition is the making of 1001 origami cranes. People started making this extra one just for good luck.
Senbazuru became part of literature. Many of you may have read the book "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes", written in 1977, by the Canadian writer Eleanor Coerr. The book is based on a true story.
Sadako Sasaki
Sadako Sasaki (1943-1955) was a Japanese girl who got leukemia as result of radiation created by the atomic bomb (known also as „Little Boy“) that was dropped on Hiroshima on the 6th of August 1945. At the time of the explosion Sadako was at home, about 1 mile from ground zero.
First symptoms of a severe illness appeared in November of 1954 as lumps on her neck and behind her ears. In January of 1955 purple spots appeared on her legs. She was diagnosed with leukemia. She was hospitalized on the 21th of February, 1955.
Sadako's best friend Chihuko Hamamoto had been visiting her often. She encouraged Sadako to start making the thousand origami cranes. The popular version of story, as presented in the book by Eleanor Coerr, is that Sadako managed to finish 644 cranes before the death. She died on the 25th of October, 1955. The rest of cranes, until 1000, were made by her friends. She was buried with all 1000 cranes.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum
Little bit different story about Sadako is presented in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. There it is stated that Sadako managed to make 1000 cranes by the end of August, 1955.
Sadako Sasaki, statue in Hiroshima
The statue of Sadako holding a golden crane in the Hiroshima Peace Park was unveiled in 1958. This monument is dedicated not only to Sadako but also to all the children died from the atomic bomb.
At the bottom of monument there is a text engraved - "This is our cry, This is our prayer, Peace in the world".
Sadako's story exists as a film too. There is a Japanese film "Senba-zuru" or "Sadako Story", as it is known internationally. This 96 minutes long film, made in 1989, was directed by Seijirô Kôyama. http://traditionscustoms.com/lifestyle/senbazuru
