They just don\u2019t get me at all.\u201d That feeling of separation and not belonging is a common theme not just for Jean, but for many of my clients. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of her early experiences, Jean put up walls subconsciously to protect herself from abandonment by her partner and children.\u00a0 These walls caused her to feel separate and alone. \u00a0She often felt resentful that she wasn\u2019t either getting or giving the kind of love she wanted in her family of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is what my Weaving Webs is all about: working with the fractures or torn threads in the many webs of which we\u2019re a part, including families. I have used Weaving Webs work in my own practice with people, animals, and land. Weaving Webs contributes to mending the relationships between any or all of our relations, be they human, plant, animal, mineral, rock, etc. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All of life is interdependent<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The glaciers are receding, the oceans are rising, and the extinction rate of species of plants and animals is anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 times the normal rate, depending on which scientists you read. \u00a0Climate change is accelerating at an alarming pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our use of pesticides is killing the bee population upon which farming depends. \u00a0With no bees, there are no crops, and hence no food.\u00a0 Glyphosate is now being found in alarming levels not only in regular food, but even food that is labeled organic or non-gmo. This pesticide issue is also raising the rates of neurological diseases and cancers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The complete interdependence of all life, is becoming clearer.\u00a0 So is the need for mending or reweaving the places where that interdependence is broken or disconnected, what I call \u201cmending our webs.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0Our planet itself is in peril from the way we humans live our lives in relationship to the earth. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Have dominion over” is not what the Hebrew says<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What I\u2019ve learned from my background in Hebrew Scripture totally surprised me and changed everything about how I look at these issues. \u00a0So much of the Western world\u2019s squandering of the world\u2019s resources comes out of a mis-translation or interpretation of the text of Genesis 1. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hebrew word that is translated \u201chave dominion over\u201d \u00a0(for example, humans are to have dominion over the birds of the air and the fish of the sea) actually means \u201cto be stewards of.\u201d \u00a0There is a huge difference between having dominion over and being stewards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stewardship means the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care. \u00a0If we went beyond that, and truly got the fact that all parts of creation are related \u2013 and treated plants, animals, minerals, and rocks as our relations \u2013 that would change everything! <\/span><\/p>\n

The Fear of the Other<\/strong><\/h2>\n

But we can\u2019t \u00a0begin to get there because we can\u2019t even get to the point where we treat other humans as our relations. \u00a0The rise in hatred and fear of anyone who is \u201cOther\u201d or different from ourselves is horrifying — and tears apart the very fabric of society. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Judeo-Christian tradition, <\/span>all<\/b> humans are created in the image of God \u2013 not just one color or gender or people with one way of life. \u00a0In my former field of Hebrew Scriptures, this is stated over and over again. If we really took the idea of our being related to <\/span>every<\/span><\/i> other human being seriously, we would be engaged in weaving or mending our webs with others instead of fracturing them or destroying them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who should you care for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not only are we all related, but multiple texts throughout both the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, exhort the people to care for those with no protections in society.\u00a0 The categories used most often are \u201cthe widow, the poor, the orphan, and [this is crucial] the resident alien in their midst.”\u00a0 What that means is that people of faith in the Judeo-Christian tradition are called to take care of the people who are not full citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over and over again the reason given for this care is that these very same people were once slaves in someone else\u2019s land (Egypt), and God had freed them. \u00a0Therefore, their duty was to make sure others were not only free but fully cared for. <\/span>This <\/span><\/i>was to be the basis for their care of the resident alien. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we took that on board, how would that change how we treat the human webs of which we\u2019re a part? \u00a0How would that change how we treat the Web of existence?<\/span><\/p>\n

How far my own nation has come from that founding principle, which is so well represented in the poem inscribed on the Statue of Liberty: \u201cGive me your tired and your poor, your yearning to be free\u2026\u201d \u00a0We have moved so far away from the ideals on which our society was formed. <\/span><\/p>\n

“All my Relations”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Richard Wagamese, \u00a0an award-winning native Ojibwe writer, speaks to an even bigger issue: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been considering the phrase \u201call my relations\u201d for some time now.
\nIt\u2019s hugely important. \u00a0It\u2019s our saving grace in the end. It points to the
\ntruth that we are all related, that we are all connected, that we all
\nbelong to each other. \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The most important word is \u201call.\u201d \u00a0Not just those who look like me, sing
\nlike me, dance like me, speak like me, pray like me or behave like me.
\nALL my relations.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

That means every person, just as it means every rock, mineral, blade of
\ngrass, and creature. \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We live because everything else does. \u00a0If we were to choose collectively to
\nlive that teaching, the energy of our change of consciousness would heal
\neach of us \u2013 and heal the planet.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2014Richard Wagamese, <\/span>Embers<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When we fragment humans into groups and pit those groups against each other, we hurt the whole human race.\u00a0 More than that, we hurt the planet as a whole.\u00a0 This is why we need Weaving Webs. Our entire planet is crying out for web weaving. <\/span><\/p>\n

Returning to Jean<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As Jean and I worked together to heal the traumas caused by her feelings of separation and abandonment by her family, she also began healing all her webs. \u00a0She recognized that her resentment of her partner and children was a reflection of the fear of abandonment stemming from her family of origin. Once she began healing that fear, she started taking down her walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next she noticed that she was setting boundaries and asking directly for what she wanted and needed. \u00a0When she did, she realized that, contrary to her fears, her whole family had less tension, there was a lot more laughter, and everyone got along much better. \u00a0She also found herself being much less critical, and more loving with both her partner and her children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her relationships at work also changed for the better. \u00a0Focusing on mending one web (her family of origin) ended up healing all her web relationships. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jean’s experience exemplifies Wagamese\u2019s point: \u201cWe live because everything else does. If we were to choose collectively to live that teaching, the energy of our change of consciousness would heal each of us \u2013 and heal the planet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I encourage each of you to find simple ways to weave your webs, whether with the earth, your families and groups of which you\u2019re a part, or caring for those without rights and protections in your country and the world. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not underestimate the power of even one action taken every day or every week.\u00a0 Every action you do contributes to the change of consciousness that heals us and the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

With love and gratitude for each of you,<\/p>\n

Mary<\/p>\n
