Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 12 | | "...the Spirit still has something for us to discover - an herb, a sprig, a flower - a very small flower, maybe, and you can spend a long time in its contemplation, thinking about it."
| -- Lame Deer, LAKOTA
| The world today is about hurry up! Get there faster! Work harder, produce more, hurry up, eat quickly, be on time, don't get stressed- headaches, conflict, drink to calm down, go to the training on stress management, time management - STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP!
Go spend 5 minutes with a flower or a plant. Look at it - think about it - look at its beauty, smell it, close your eyes and smell it again. Touch it; touch it with your eyes closed. Slow your mind down. Think about the little things. Now close your eyes and pray.

Great Spirit, this feeling of calmness that I have, let me have it all day long.
