Original of ‘Rock a by Baby’

The Origin of America’s Favorite Nursery Rhyme:

Davy Crockett’s older sister, Effie Crockett was invited to help some mothers in the Muskogee Tribe. Once she arrived in camp, Effie laughed at what she saw. The Muskogee Tribe had a custom of cradling their pappooses among the swaying branches of birch trees. This protected their babies from ground insects, the sun, and wild animals.

After first finding it funny, she soon learned all the great reasons for this practice and marveled at the beauty of it.

Effie watched the swaying and soothing motion of the topmost branches of the trees. She loved how each baby enjoyed nature, how they listened to the songbirds, observed every ladybug, and smiled at the colors of a butterfly, every little breeze was felt and enjoyed by these young ones; each babe seemed perfectly content.

One of the Tribal mothers began to sing a song to the children in her native tongue. As the Muskogee mother sang, Miss Effie observed a small tear running down the mother’s cheek.

Lulu se pepe i le pito i luga o le laau,

A agi le matagi e luluina le moega pepe,

A gau le lala e paʻu ai le moega pepe,

Ma o le a sau i lalo pepe, moega pepe ma mea uma.

Effie translated the words and kept the tune. She shared it with everyone and it soon became a wildly popular nursery rhyme among the Colonies.

The English translation:

Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top,

When the wind blows the cradle will rock,

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,

And down will come baby, cradle and all.

Why did the Muskogee mother cry?

A “bough” is simply a tree branch, and its breaking was used by the Muskogee mothers as an analogy of their little baby growing up.

Their little baby would soon outgrow his cradle. With each gently rocking wind, time was passing. One day, little baby would no longer need the protection of his mother. One day, the “branch” would break because her little baby had become too heavy. The “cradle” would fall to the earth – the child, no longer a baby, would dust himself off and grow into a man.

The now famous lullaby was first printed in Mother Goose’s Melody.

The rest is history.

Fatigue & New Frequencies

My numbers are messaging me today and that’s assuring

Just talked to a young friend who I advised/mentored 4 years ago and we are flowing and it’s so positive !

Great Minds think alike !

The Fatigue is Soul Exhaustion and I’m doing my thing !

Clearing Cleaning and showing gratitude .

In 2006 when I discovered Nicherian Buddhism , the power of gratitude was a major plus in my life . I wasn’t aware of manifesting or abundance etc , I just said Thank you a lot more . Even as I knew I was being challenged , I knew I was receiving a valuable lesson .

So I said Thank you if traffic allowed me to flow easily or someone one gave me the right away . And I was and am grateful , for so many things but had slowed down on expressing my gratitude 🙏due to the varied complicated situations that accelerated due to COVID .

I am grateful today to be closing up my living situation and obtaining a new SUV in the very near future !

All is well with my soul .

Staying positive and keeping the faith ; much of this clearing has been decades of holding space for the right things to come to me !

Some will hopefully liberate those who had no choice or no voice !

The physical fatigue that the vast majority of us are feeling lately is due to the new intelligent electromagnetic frequencies that are coming from the Central Sun.

These are moving radically in our physical, emotional and spiritual structures, as if we were a cellular device connected to a battery of an immense ship.

There is a lot of energy that comes from the spiritual world. Therefore, there is a need for stabilization.

WHAT TO DO?

MENTALLY:

– Vibrate in high resonance, preferably in the highest possible energy, the energy of gratitude, compassion, generosity, benevolence and the mutual sharing of ideas.

– Avoid the judgments of others, because we don’t really know what each one has come to happen in this life.

– Raise the thought towards noble things instead of continuing to share useless and terrible news that tend to multiply by television and social media. Be different, find good things in people and in situations, they exist, but they are being forgotten.

Stop complaining and start to thank, gratitude is the energy that will shape the new world.

When a bad thought comes, understand it and immediately neutralize it with a superior and positive one.

When a problem comes to your mind, transmute the information, immediately looking for the solution for it and focus on it.

Change the focus, find beautiful things in you, in your behavior, stop mutilating yourself energetically, we all have good things and virtues.

PHYSICALLY:

– Do calm and concentrated exercises, emitting at the same time as you do them, blue waves for all places where you feel pain, discomfort or muscle fatigue, transforming a simple stretching and strengthening exercise into an intensified quantum vibrational exercise.

– Drink a lot of mineral water, preferably the one that comes directly from the stones, because it brings pure mineral fragments from the center of the mountain, rocks and crystals.

– Avoid industrialized foods with exaggerated condiments.

Place beautiful, healthy things that have life inside your body. Sunbathe and thank you while you do it. Dive in the water in the sea or in the running river water to enter the new frequency of Nature.

SPIRITUALLY:

– Pay attention to intuition, because it is coming with force and is the first information that comes from the spiritual world to enter your mind. Listen to good music, the one that makes the hairs on your arm stand up, because it is capable of producing the resonance with your spirit.

– Pay attention to the inspirations, because they come in a pure and simple way, otherwise we can’t write down what is received, or do something at the same time she arrives, we lose contact and the spirit takes time to bring her back. Inspiration is something that your own spirit sends you, it is not a third spirit or a protector, you are yourself in future manifestation and divine dimension trying to talk with yourself.

RELATIONSHIPS:

You don’t need to scream with anyone anymore, your heart can’t stand any more screams and arguments, he just wants harmony and understanding, the time of sufferings is over, who still continues in this idea will go through great tests. If it is necessary to position yourself, position yourself and do what needs to be done.

WORK:

Your spirit no longer wants to do what doesn’t make sense and doesn’t fulfill its life purpose. He is forcing him to enter with total force into his center of synergy, the one that tunes in to the forces that come from the Universe. If you don’t change or improve your relationship with your work, your life becomes more and more empty, although through it you receive a lot of money, none of that can give a real meaning to its existence from now on.

Don’t worry about finding the new world, it’s not a place, but a frequency, a vibrational state in which everyone can be if they wish.

The state of pure and silent gratitude.

Tuning is the way… tune in with yourself.

Mailing Babies 1913

#DidYouKnow The early decades of the 20th century saw a rather unusual practice take hold in the United States – the mailing of babies and young children through the Parcel Post system. This peculiar phenomenon emerged shortly after the launch of Parcel Post services on January 1, 1913, which allowed Americans to send packages and parcels through the mail in a convenient and affordable way.

While intended for inanimate objects, some enterprising and frugal parents quickly realized the potential to use this service to transport their children over long distances. At the time, purchasing a train ticket was prohibitively expensive for many families. However, the Parcel Post rates were very economical – it cost just 15 cents for the first pound and about 1 cent per pound for every additional pound after that. For cash-strapped parents needing to travel with young kids, mailing their little ones turned out to be the thriftiest option.

The first baby to be delivered via mail was one James Beagle, an eight month old who, at just under 11 pounds, was still technically under the weight limit that the postal service was imposing at the time. The child was mailed to his grandparents, who only lived a few miles away; so, fortunately for the tot, the journey was not arduous. (Indeed, sources claim that he slept most of the way there). According to the Smithsonian, James cost a mere 15 cents in postage – a “discount rate” if ever there was one. However, his parents also “insured” him for $50.00, which was no small charge back then. James’s journey created a sensation, and it established a child mailing trend that would continue for several years to come.

The process of sending babies through the mail was not as haphazard or dangerous as it may sound today. Their journeys were intentionally short, and parents were required to accompany and keep watchful eye over their mailed children during transit. Postmasters would simply affix the necessary postage stamps to the child’s clothing and have them ride along with mail clerks on trains and delivery vehicles. Upon arrival, the kids would be collected from the destination post office by waiting relatives.

While certainly an unorthodox practice through today’s lens, mailing babies was seen as a creative and acceptable solution for families with limited means in that era. Records indicate that at least a few dozen and potentially over 100 children were sent through the mail in this fashion during the mid-1910s before the service was eventually banned as being inappropriate and improperly taking advantage of the Parcel Post system.

The last documented case of a mailed baby occurred in 1915, when a young girl was shipped from Stratton, Oklahoma to her grandparents in Kansas – a journey of over 720 miles by rail! After this incident gained national headlines and public outcry, the Post Office finally prohibited the mailing of children for good in 1916. But it remains an amusing, if bizarre footnote in American history when sending kids became briefly acceptable postage!

I’ve learned – Maya Angelou

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou
