Elder’s Meditation of the Day - May 30

“Power comes and goes. It can vanish in the twinkling of an eye, like smoke dissolving in the air.”

–Archie Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA

The East, South, West and North are the powers of the four
directions. The Creator makes these powers available to do things. We
pray to the Creator to give us the power to do these things. Often, we
are given these powers for a while, then these powers disappear. Power
is given and taken from us by the Great Spirit, the source of power.
During the time we have this power, we should be responsible and use
the power in a good way. Many good things can be accomplished when we
realize where this power really comes from.
