Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 14 | |
"It is a Native tradition to sit in a circle and talk - to share what
is in your heart."
|
-- John Peters (Slow Turtle), WAMPANOAG

The talking circle is also a listening circle. The talking circle allows one person
to talk at a time for as long as they need to talk. So much can be gained by listening.
Is it a coincidence that the Creator gave us one mouth and two ears? The power of
the circle allows the heart to be shared with each other. What we share with each other
also heals each other. When we talk about our pain in the circle, it is distributed to the
circle, and we are free of the pain. The talking circle works because when the people
form a circle, the Great Mystery is in the center.

My Creator, give me the courage to share, and the courage to listen.
