Welcome!

Here I will attempt to keep a journal of things learned - or at least experienced - along the way on this journey called life.

Native American Spirituality.

Got this from a friend today.  I like:

Elder's Meditation of the Day - March 22
"Everything's so simple, and we make everything so complicated. That's why we're confused."
-- Vickie Downey, TEWA/Tesuque Pueblo
The Creator designed a very simple set of Laws for us to follow. If we follow these simple things, we'll be happy. If we don't follow these simple things, our lives become complicated. For example:
  • Respect Mother Earth
  • Love one another
  • Be truthful
  • Give to your brother and sisters
  • Be gentle with each other
  • Be happy
Following these simple Laws will have great rewards.
Great Spirit, let me lead a simple life.
