Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 2
Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 2

"Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood and so it is everything where power moves."
--Black Elk (Hehaka sapa), OGLALA SIOUX

In these modern times it is difficult to understand why we should think circles and seasons. People and society are always moving, through distance, over yonder, going here and going there-hurry up, grow up, be successful, climb the ladder of success, etc. The Elders tell us to slow down, to be patient, pray and think circles. Circle thinking applies to relationships, business and every area of our lives. We need to teach our awareness to look for seasons and cycles.

1. VERY cool...
Thanks so much for sharing this info....the whole website s interesting too.
I do some work with the medicine wheel and try to bring it to my meditation circle as well... the information and living in harmony are so important, for tribal and non-tribal people. I think understanding and honoring go a long way towards peace and wellness in individuals and in nations
