Reality

I have had a lot to ponder over the last week.  I have taken a step back to look at my current situation from an outside perspective.  I try to hard to live my life with honor and respect, but sometimes we all lose our way.  This means there is a lesson to be learned.  How we react in our times of anger, sadness and sorrow that proves our true character.  We must stand up and take responsibility for our own actions and choices.  We must face the music and at times it will be painful.

Fear is the path to the dark side.  Fear leads to anger.  Anger leads to hate.  Hate leads to suffering.   ~Yoda

Elder's Meditation of the Day ~ September 1

"Everyone has a song. God gives us each a song. That's how we know who we are. Our song tells us who we are."

--Charlie Knight, UTE

As we start to walk the Red Road and as we develop ourselves as Warriors, a song will come to us. This song is given to each of us from the Great Spirit. Whenever we sing this song, we will receive courage and strength, not only for ourselves but if we sing this song for others, it will also help them. The song will give us power and make us feel really good. The song will make us see life in a sacred way. If you don't have your song yet, ask the Creator in prayer if He will give you your song. With the song comes a responsibility - the responsibility to act and conduct oneself as a Warrior according to your song.

Oh my Creator, let me live my song. Let my song honor Your way of life. Let me sing my song each day. At the end of today, let my song tell people who I am. I am a beautiful child of the Creator.
