Circle of Nations (from the newsletter)

What comes to You has a special reason to do so.
Notice the life and its details around You - then You can see.
I got the message and the urge to share it:

EAST - Wiyohinyanpata - Yellow (Four Winds) 
You cannot see the wind.  Yet it is there, mighty and mysterious in its power.  Wanbli, the eagle, trusts that unseen power to carry it to the highest altitudes, where perspective is gained.  And yet, that flight is not without unexpected twists and turns.  It takes practice to learn the unseen wind currents of the Great Mystery, and faith to lean into them as we are guided on our way through this life.  Sometimes they take you to places you would never expect - some good, some bad.  And yet, both can be part of the greater plan for our life.  Often, the greatest gifts are found just on the other side of a seemingly bad experience.  Many times, the road to our sacred path goes right through a patch of thorns.  It is important to remember that the patch of thorns often holds the key we need to take the next step on our journey.  So keep your eye out for it.  Our life is like the flight of the eagle - a journey of faith.  We ride the unseen winds of the sacred path of our lives, sustained by our faith, held up by the Spirit, and taken to new heights by our willingness to dream.  So do not let fear overcome you.  Hold out the wings of your spirit, leap into the unseen journey ahead, trust the Great Mystery to lift you up, and you will rise like the eagle to the places where visions become your guide, and dreams become a reality....


NORTH - Waziyata - White  (Words of Wisdom)


The things that matter in this life are not made of matter....

In the end, material possessions are really immaterial....

It is always better to be kind, than to be right....

Love is the door through which peace enters....




As always, in the spirit of mending the sacred hoop of the nations of the world
Your Oglala Lakota friend and brother,

~ From my way to Sweden I am feeling happy that the world is a circle and that there is still a home to return, friends to be inspired with and a lover to be in love with ~
