World Team Now!

Water, being essential for life, ebbs and flows with a tide as does this World Water day that initiates the season of renewal with rituals as diverse as all the ways spirituality and religion are practiced in different parts of the world.

Regardless of belief, water is the most fundamental practical essences of life here on earth.

Let’s hear more about Water from WTN board member Walter Andrews, who has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and expertise on water from being a Charter Member of the EPA since founding and serving over 50 years.

Thanks for listening.

World Water Day was adopted at the United Nations Conference in Rio de Janeiro UNCED called the Earth Summit in 1992. The Earth Summit and Global Forum were life-changing experiences to participate in during the beginning years of the World Team journey, before founding our non-profit World Team Now. For many of us committed to the environmental social movement greater teamwork for the earth of the next generation began then.

1993 began World Water Day’s annual water day themes. Here too was the beginning of the journey to the UN’s ratification of the Sustainable Development Goals – with water now in SDG’s #6 Clean Water and Sanitation. Every year, there is a new theme for World Water Day whose tide seems to go from the 20th-23rd of March every year.

Let’s all do our best for the water and earth every day. For me growing up every day was actually was World Water Day when my mother came home from work at EPA where she was an environmental scientist, let’s all be citizen scientists for our earth Mother, and protect our common lifeblood, Water.

Please let us know If you are interested in the Water Themes World Team Now is exploring: drinking water purification, distribution, water sanitation, desalination of saltwater to freshwater, water from the hydrogen fuel cell, water for energy, as in tidal, and wave energy, water for transportation, and water for cleansing, birthing, exercising, healing and rituals.

Are there any other water themes you are interested for us to explore?

If you are interested in helping with any of our water programs, especially the ocean curricula, please let us know.

Especially knowing today that if women ruled the world, and had the freedom of choice, war would be impossible.

We, as women, embody a creative nature and by nature the care and love of one another is organic. We nurture love to grow, within and throughout, the best we can in all. This is true where the Divine feminine can grow.

Last week’s “Ash Wednesday,” began a season, with the kind of tide I can appreciate rising. Unlike the sea level rising and the stresses on the ocean/atmosphere hurricane and cyclone season.

Thankfully, Ash Wednesday was not like 2020’s when I looked up from the music, singing in a choir, to end up in the ER with ashes in my eyes.

In 2022, when I began writing to fill the blank pages of a brand new gifted journal, it would become my #69 handwritten book, with a beautiful cover of a 3D color Owl. In the morning, I began to fill up the journal with not just my mind’s ideas, but also the spontaneity of inspired heart and soul of what became a great gift; I have come to appreciate the “present” as upon contemplation and reflection it calls forth the vision, to the future. This Wednesday was no exception.

I stretched out my body, held in the air, my limbs kissing the tree limbs holding my weight under the canopy of a great pine tree whose wispy green needles’ tent hid me entirely under its branches. Our eyes locked gazing into one another’s core essence for what felt like an eternity, I could feel Owl’s wisdom penetrating beyond gender, species, boundaries, and borders.

We both seemed to echo “Words of wisdom beyond sound or writing!”

The kind of silent reverence, equality respect, and curiosity exchanged, as I too was lying bowing underneath on trees bough, communing in the shared safety of nature’s grip away from the development of the world, at least for a few moments, the noise of the city was gone. In my mind, I answer Owl’s query of “WHO?”

“If not US, then Who? Who will defend nature, or at least find peaceful harmony?”

I hear beyond the whisper of words, the soundless syllables, and the owl’s wise plea.

True to the owl totem, the dark of the night is when the work gets done, not in daylight. Thus the miraculous encounter. The Owls eyes were wide open in the light, and willing to meet my eyes!

Even though now night, maybe somewhere in the world, it is still International Women’s Day. Or maybe Women’s Day is every day, for every species?
