Elder Meditation 3-31

Elder’s Meditation of the Day -
March 31
“The old Lakota was wise. He knew that man’s heart away
from nature becomes hard; he knew the lack of respect for growing, living things
soon led to a lack of respect for humans too. So he kept his youth close to its
softening influence.”
–Luther Standing Bear, OGLALA SIOUX
When we live in nature it’s like constantly being in school. We
are in an environment that is always teaching. We are constantly being reminded
hat there are laws, Natural Laws, which are running the universe. Once we know
these laws and we drift from them, we start to live our lives in a different
way. Soon we become discontent, selfish and disrespectful. Then, we get in
trouble. If our lives have become this way, it can be reversed by going back to
nature to be among our teachers.
