Elder's Meditation of the Day - March 14 
"The concept that we are all related is one of the basic philosophies of D/Lakota religion." 
--Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA
The Medicine Wheel teaches the four directions of the races, Red
people, Yellow people, Black people and White people. These four
directions are symbolic of all races. Everything in the circle is
connected and related. All races are brothers and sisters. If we are
related to each other, then it is important to love one another as
brother and sister, aunt and uncle, Fathers and Mothers, Grandfathers
and Grandmothers. We need to care for each other and especially respect
each other. We need to honor one another's differences whether that
difference is the color of our skin or our opinions. We should respect
differences. 

My Creator, let me
feel the connectedness to all things. Let me know the lessons I need to
learn today. Above all, let me feel my connectedness to You.

"I walk in and out of many worlds.
--Joy Harjo, CREEK/CHEROKEE
 
In
my mind are many dwellings. Each of the dwellings we create ourselves -
the house of anger, the house of despair, the house of self pity, the
house of indifference, the house of negative, the house of positive,
the house of hope, the house of joy, the house of peace, the house of
enthusiasm, the house of cooperation, the house of giving. Each of
these houses we visit each day. We can stay in any house for as long as
we want. We can leave these mental houses any time we wish. We create
the dwelling, we stay in the dwelling, we leave the dwelling whenever
we wish. We can create new rooms, new houses. Whenever we enter these
dwellings, this becomes our world until we leave for another. What
world will we live in today? 

Creator,
no one can determine which dwelling I choose to enter. No one has the
power to do so, only me. Let me choose wisely today.
