"A Cherokee Feast Of Days"

"A Cherokee Feast Of Days"

If you don't want to be judged harshly
by other people ~ then don't continually condemn
yourself. You have to tell people who you are, and
you do it by action, by words, and by attitude. If
you intend to compete with everyone, it will show
in your manner.
If you believe no one likes you, they will
believe there is a reason ~ and not like you. If you
believe social status is power, you will see the day
when it breaks down. Individuality is not competition,
not painful separation, but sincerity and genuine caring.
These things are evident ~ and the person that deliberately
sets out to hinder someone is headed for out ~ and out loneliness.

We first knew you as a feeble plant which wanted a
little earth whereon to grow. . .

"Meditations with our Native American Elders"

"Our religion seems foolish to you, but
so does yours to me. The Baptists and
Methodists and Presbyterians and the
Catholics all have a different God.
Why cannot we have one of our own?"

Sitting Bull, HUNKPAPA LAKOTA

The Creator gave each culture a path to God.
To the Indian people, he revealed that the
Creator is in everything. Everything is alive
with the Spirit of God. The water is alive.
The trees are alive. The woods are alive. The
mountains are alive. The wind is alive. The Great
Spirit's breath is in everything and that's why
it's alive. All of nature is our church. We wake
up in church, we walk all day long in a church,
we eat with our families in church, we go to
sleep in church

My Creator,~ let us leave people to worship
You in the way You have taught them.
