365 Days of Walking the Red Road : The Native American Path to
Leading a Spiritual Life Every Day (2003) by Terri Jean
October 1
Peace...comes within the souls of men when they realize their
relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center of the Universe dwells
Wakan-Tanka, and that this center is really everywhere,it is within
each of us.

God said he was the Father and the Earth was the Mother of
mankind ; that nature was the law ; that the animals and fish and
plants obeyed nature and that man only was sinful. This is the old
law.

I wonder if the ground has anything to say? I wonder if the ground
is listening to what I said? I wonder if the ground would come
alive and what is on it? Though I hear what the ground says. The
ground says, It is the Great Spirit that placed me here. The Great
Spirit tells me to take care of the Indians, to feel them aright.
The Great Spirit appointed the roots to feed the Indians on. The
water says the same thing. The Great Spirit directs me, Feed the
Indians well. The grass says the same thing, Feed the Indians
well. The ground, water, and grass say, The Great Spirit has given
us names. We have these names and hold these names. The
ground says, The Great Spirit has placed me here to produce all
that grows on me, trees and fruit. The same way the ground says,
It was from me man was made. The Great Spirit, in placing men on
the Earth, desired them to take good care of the ground and do each
other no harm...

There is something that whispers to me it would be prudent to
listen to offers of peace.

It is better for us to die like warriors than to diminish away by inches.
The cause of the red men is just, and I hope that the (Creator)who
governs everything will favor us.

Walk the good road...Be dutiful, respectful, gentle, and modest...
Be strong with the warm, strong heart of the earth.

We must be united...We must smoke the same pipe...We must
fight each other's battles...and more than that, we must love
the Great Spirit.

Thank you Lori, for the warm kudos. I love the earth based
religions, and systems of thought, connected to Mother Earth.
I combine this with the Eastern religious thought as well as the
love in Jesus's message. I think earth based Native American,
Shamanism, Wiccan, Celtic, Druid, & all native peoples have
something to offer. As this society goes toward materialism &
pop culture, there will always be those who turn to the Mother
& her wisdom. If we would but listen. We on this site, are kindred
spirits, sharing our knowledge, our hearts and our spirit.

It was supposed that lost spirits were roving about everywhere
in the invisible air, waiting for children to find them if they
searched long enough and patiently enough. The spirit sang its
spiritual song for the child to memorize and use when calling
upon the spirit guardian as an adult.

Your mind must never be like a tipi. Leave the entrance flap
open so that the fresh air can enter and clear out the smoke of
confusion."
