Elder's Meditation of the Day April 9

| "Everything really is equal. The Creator doesn't look at me any better than He looks at the trees. We're all the same." |  |
| --Janice Sundown Hattet, SENECA | |
| Sometimes humans think we are the center of the Universe. Sometimes we think we are above or better than other people or things. The Great Spirit made a set of Laws and Principles by which all things should live. Everybody and everything lives by the same Laws. We are all made of atoms just like the trees. The life force in the middle of the atom is the life force of the Great Mystery. It is the same for everything. We are all equal in the eyes of the Creator. | |
Great Spirit, today, I will respect your handiwork.

Elder's Meditation of the Day April 8

| "The very dust under your feet responds more lovingly to our footsteps than to yours, because it is the ashes of our ancestors, and our bare feet are conscious of the sympathetic touch, for the soil is rich with the life of our kindred." | |
| --Chief Seattle, SUQUAMISH | |
| If you respect something, it will respect you back. If your ancestors respected something, the future generations will be respected back. The Indian ancestors always showed great respect for the Earth. That's why the Earth is so respectful to Indians today. Every Indian naturally feels connectedness to the Earth. We know the Earth holds our ancestors. If we continue to respect Mother Earth, our children will benefit and so will our grand- children. Today, we should think about and pray for our Mother Earth. | |
Grandmother, let me have strong feelings for our Earth today.
