Elder's Meditation of the Day - August 5
"It is a paradox in the contemporary world that in our desire
for peace we must willingly give ourselves to struggle."
-- Linda Hogan, CHICKASAW
The Grandfathers have taught us about sacrifice. We have been taught to pray for the
people in a pitiful way. Struggle and conflict is neither good nor bad, it just is. Everything
that grows experiences conflict. When the deer is born it is through conflict. When the
seed first grows, it is through conflict. Conflict precedes clarity. Everything has the seasons
of growth. Recognize - acknowledge - forgive and change. All of these things are done
through conflict.
Great Spirit, give me the courage today to see that struggle and conflict are here to teach
me lessons that are a gift from you.
