O unum de fera,
Tokitae,
thou erit liberum
Ut Luna dabit lumen suum
et sustento nocte clara
Ut sidera dirige via tua
et suggeret vobis locum Circuli Vita
Ut sol sustento interius ignem ardens,
custodiens te calida a frigus
Ut Gaia vigilate super te nocte,
et revertere te ad Circuli Maioris
Translation:
Oh, one of the wild,
Oh, one of the Ocean
Tokitae,
thou shall be free
May Moon send its light
and keep your night bright with light
May the stars guide your path
and remind you of your place in the Life Circle
May Sun keep your inner fire burning,
keeping you warm from cold
May Gaia watch over you tonight,
and return you to the circle
As this week begins, Lolita has now spent her 42nd year in her lonely prison cell since her traumatic capture in 1970. Therefore, I send this message to Lolita as the moon begins to rise tonight:
Lolita, despite all odds you have remained strong for so long. Where many would give up or become bitter, you have never forgotten who you are and have never turned on us even though we have hurt you so much. Our species has become out of touch with The Great Mother; forgetting our place in The Circle of Life.
Thank you for remaining strong all these years and inspiring all of us…I see much hope in the future; a chance for change and a world returning to its complete physical beauty once more. May the moon continue to guide the way and one day physically return you to your family and may the stars light the darkest of skies in tonight’s strife. May your soul and spirit remain free! May you forever Dance with the Moon!
