I have this book called Mediations with Native American Elders
There are four sections. One section is one season and teachings within. I've decided that I'll do a random quote from the book with the coordinating season, everyday as a way of being committed to this little self project.
The quote will also include the explanation that the book provides. If I feel like I can add some self reflection I will write that down but also feel free to drop a thought or comment as well!
without further ado,
"Each creature has medicine,
So there are many medicines.
Because they are so close to the Creator,
They are able to communicate that medicine.
Then they bring help and health."
-Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA
The Elders say everything has purpose and everything has a will. We should never interfere with purpose or the will of anything. Every plant, creature, animal, insect, human being has a purpose to be here on the Earth. Each has a special medicine to contribute to the good of all things. Each person also has good medicine, a special talent, a special gift. These medicines are to help others or to help make us healthy. What is your special medicine?
