~The Teachers~
"The Teachers features the hawk,
who teaches us to soar,
The wolf, who teaches us truth,
The bear, who teaches us medicine,
And the woman, who teaches us compassion."
Pat Morris
And a woman who held a babe,
against her bosom said,
Speak to us of Children.
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They
are the sons and daughters of Life's
longing for itself.
They
come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you,
Yet, they belong not to you.
You
may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward
nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children,
as living arrows are set forth.
The archer seeks the mark.
upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with his might,
that his arrows..may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand,
be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
So He also loves the bow that is stable.
excerpt from the Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran
Tewa Indian Prayer
May the warp be the white light of morning,
May the weft be the red light of evening,
May the fringes be the falling rain,
May the border be the standing rainbow,
Thus weave for us a grament of brightness.

~~CIRCLE OF LIFE~~
It is a condition of life that all things
are a gift.
A child, a friendship, a job, a customer, a house,
a stereo, a conversation, a business, any and all
material or intangible things of life.
Each day we must remember these things by the
constant reminder of the presents, and the circle of life
they come from, as one does not survive without
the other.
A gift should never be taken for granted. It should
always be taken care of with the greatest respect.
One should always bow to humble oneself when either
giving or receiving a gift. This is one of the most
important rules in life and cannot be disputed
by any mortal being.
We are not suppose to be conditional.
Life hands us conditions that we must accept,
that all things are a gift.
A child is always born with this knowledge,
and gifts his parents with an unconditional love
regardless. It is the parents that teach their
children conditions of life and eventually teach them
to be conditional. Teaching them there is a left
or right, a right or a wrong, an up or a down,
instead of teaching examples of life and how they
are all connected in the circle of life.
The circle of life has to remain humble,
or it will not remain a circle.
All decisions in life concern the circle and must
be taken in careful thought and consideration to
prevent distortion of the circle. In doing so, we
humble ourselves to the circles.....for the circle,
a gift from our creator
