I travel to the Hopi Kiva again, to work in the Gulf of Mexico. At the kiva are Grandmother drumming and Grandfather standing, forming a path to the kiva opening. Drumming with Grandmother are many men, I count twelve or more, and behind the drumming circle surrounding the kiva are a line of women, dancing and preparing to sing. Grandmother says the men are the tribes, clans, families and races of the people, and the women are the future. She says the women each bear many eggs inside them which are the future of the people.

The drumming is intense and I go to Grandfather. He paints stipes on my face, my arms, my back and the front of my torso, stripes that are like the celtic whorls; many colors, many stripes, including stripes on my face. Then he dusts me with cornmeal, generously, and sprinkles the water of earth over my head. He asks me to go to the wound in the Gulf, to help Gaia in Her suffering, and to bring a future for the Earth and for the people.

I enter the kiva opening and drop further into Inner Earth than I have done before. I pass the Inner Earth altar, pass the gates to Telos, and though I cannot see the structures of the City I can see the light and feel the atmosphere. I find Adama beside a well. We greet each other and He offers me water from the well. The water is deep and rich and Adama says the water is the water of Lemuria, the ancient water of Earth from before the great upheavals. I tell him I wish to go to Gaia's greatest need and He agrees it is in the Gulf. Rather than go to the Gulf waters He suggests I go to the dome of Inner Earth beneath the geological structures of the oceans and of outer Earth.

Looking up into the dome there are deep fractures running through the Gulf and Caribbean Sea. One of the fractures runs in a north south direction through the hemorrhaging oil well disaster. I follow the fractures to a nodule that is the center of the many fissures. It is located just south of Haiti on the western side of the island. Adama asks me to remember the true name of the island, from Chronicles past, which is Well of Grace. The many fractures, Adama says, are collapsing the old structures of Earth and beginning of what is to come. The earthquake at the Well of Grace (Haiti) was an initial fissure that fractured the sea bed in all directions. The shape of the fractures looks like a star with the Well of Grace at the center with many fissures extending in all directions.

The fissures are rough and painful and water seems the proper gift. I ask Adama for the urn of water from the well of Telos and He gives it to me. I begin pouring the ancient water into the fissures but am disoriented, not understanding how I can pour water "up." Adama relieves my need for gravitational orientation and the dome comes below me and I am looking "down" into the dome and the fissures in the Gulf. I continue pouring the ancient water into the fissures, "filling" them north, south, east and west including the fracture through the Deepwater disaster. The geological structures will crumble, this is sure to be, but the ancient water is a relief for Gaia, an easing of the painful nature of how this is undone, a softening to allow the old structures to crumble and fall away while allowing what is new to be born.

There is something more needed than the ancient water and I ask Adama for a crystal that will carry the light of Nebadon, the center of God Aton's creation. Adama hands me a crystal (from the Inner Earth altar) and I flood the crystalline energy of the light of Nebadon into the fissures. The light carries into and throughout the network, from the core of the Well of Grace through the matrix of fissures in the Gulf and Caribbean Sea. Adama says the light of the crystal is a gift to the people who will suffer in the crumbling old earth structures, giving them the light of Source during the increasing turbulence of change and the assurance of a coming future.

Adama asks me to renew my confidence in this great cycle. He says to keep attention on the "long view" as discussed with Esu in the Dialogues, that assurance is in the "long view" not in what is passing away short term. I feel the assurance and blessing of a future pouring through me and the crystal into the matrix of fissures. There is relief for Gaia in this and an easing in what is to come. Adama suggests and I agree this is enough and we return to the well of Telos. Warmly we link hands and arms in the figure eight of Inner Earth and touch foreheads. He gifts me with the peace of the "long view," reminding me of my Long View Project, and we laugh at how I stumble upon my destiny and mission, like finding a precious stone within a beach of sand and gravel. Saying goodbye He sends His love to Eve.

I leave Adama and return on the sound of the drum to the kiva. When I step out of the kiva Grandmother and the men are all drumming and now the women are singing. They are singing in the high plaintive sound of the North American Native nomadic tribes. Grandmother says they are singing the song of the future. Grandfather welcomes me and pours the water of earth over me gently, soaking me in the earth water to balance the ancient waters of Telos. He thanks me for returning with a future, that the people are singing this song and motions for Tommy to wrap me in the blanket as he has done in times past. I am held in belonging and very thankful.
