What are you waiting for?
I have my sage Blessing stick burning , the smoke is swirling & spiralling into the air as I am sitting on a blanket meditating to the Great Spirit that still watches over his children , I had bathed in the creek so my body would be purified for the ceremonies , I had fasted 3 Days & Nights so was feeling weakened but in steady prayer , I was naked except a serape , well I did have a loin cloth on . I picked up the stone bowl the sage was burning in and preceded take the sage and start the prayer of thanksgiving,toward the North for all the Great Spirit had provided , then to the East ,then to the South and then to the West , asking love and giving gratitude for the trees , grass , fresh clean water , asking forgiveness for people destroying Mothers Earth. People keep taking and taking and they don't put nothing back , so slowly our planet is being striped of our natural resource's . Now my brothers have built a bonfire , the flames reaching to the sky . They have their drums and , They set on each corner of the blanket and start beating there drums in perfect unity, my heart was hurting for all the fallen Warriors and one of our tribes Hero's Mr. Russell Means ( The Last of the Mohican's ) died of cancer , he listened to his own Medicine doctor with the herbs and oils , worked for awhile. But in the end , don't matter how great a person was or how evil , when his number is up it's up. So we played and laughed around that camp fire , Trying to remember the story's passed down , trying to remember when herds of wild horses ran free and the buffalo fed the tribes , women tended the gardens and the men hunted wild game for in days of old it was plentiful. And at night the community would gather around the fire and shared food with one to another so no one went hungry . The children were fed first then sent to bed and then it was time for the stories. And one important thing was " Don't forget where your blood flows and don't forget your people " Stand tall and be proud and remember the war drums that the 5 Nations should have kept beating back in the day. Yes the Cherokee were a peaceful people and for one I think they should have fought until we either won or was left alone. Not to lose ourselves into becoming one with the pale faces who were always taking and destroying , would have been better if the Vikings had been handy to lend their battle skills . Might have had a different story to tell. But sense this is a dream only , the Great Spirit does say go in peace my brothers & sisters, love one another and try to find your peace. Do not judge and do what is right. AhoTatanka ........... Eagles do fly with requests , some are answered , some are not.
