A Friend Sent me This...LOGJAM --.lest we forget what happened to Sibu

A new word spread very fast around Sibu, and to the world.8 - 10.10.10.

LOGJAM. 50 km of logs, debris,twigs and wood chips......Image result for Sibu Logjam

the public was dumbfounded when they saw the tons of debris floating down Sibu causing river traffic to come to a standstill. The logjam had come from beyond Kapit, to the Kapit town and then Sibu.

By the time it reached Sibu almost 100 miles, the public was waiting for the phenomenon to arrive, with cameras, video cams and other gadgets. Handphones were flashing as fast as they could and some even took out speedboats to get closer to the logs.

So far, the government has not made any statement. We have to wait until they have finished their investigation.




~ Tribal Wisdom ~

Cherokee blood is running through my veins
I'm proud to say this is so
A strong and powerful tribe was born
Thousands of years ago.

A wonderful heritage I have discovered
My great-great grandmother was Cherokee
Her knowledge of the earth was passed on down
Through generations and finally to me.


Such wisdom comes from all the tribes
Whether you're Hopi, Cheyenne, or Cherokee
So many lessons we could all learn
Pay attention, open your eyes, and see.

Our elders tell us the earth is crying
We've abused her and ravaged her so
She's trying to tell us to change our ways
Or we'll never see another rainbow.


All tribes are in tune with the spirits
And they live their lives accordingly
The spirits whisper into their ears
"Mother Earth forever holds the key."

Honor all the spirits of living things
Learn to respect the land on which you walk
Listen to the whisperings in the wind
You can hear them trying to talk.
