It's wonderful to have Orin back home. I came very close to permanently loosing him. If I hadn't taken Charlie to the pound, I would have lost him for sure.
The Critters are back to normal, Orin is back to sleeping in his room again. No more cat urine on the walls and furniture.
I may have lost Gary because of this issue, but his wife helped make everything worse.
So I must except what ever happens.

| "We have to have one mind for the Four Directions. Until we reach that one mind, we cannot be filled with understanding.... The Creator will not answer until you have just one mind, just like if you have one person." |  |
| --Grandfather William Commanda, ALGONQUIN | |
| The Elders have taught us to balance our lives emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. If I am out of control emotionally, I get angry, doubtful or erratic, I am out of balance. If I trigger bad mental pictures of my brothers and sisters, I am out of balance. If I get too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, I am out of balance physically. If I don't pray and talk to the Creator daily, I am out of balance spiritually. To be centered, I must be in balance. The Creator talks to me in the quiet and still place. So if I get angry, what I should do first is to pause and get still so I can hear the guidance of the Grandfathers. | |

| "Telling about our lives is important for those who come after as, for those who will see our experience as part of their own historical struggle." | |
| --Linda Hogan, CHICKASAW | |
| How important it is for us to support one another? How important it is for us to know our culture and to share our experiences with one another? How powerful it is to be authentic? How important it is to hold no secrets? I am as sick as my secrets. | |
