Quote of the Day

A Sun Bear Teaching

"Before we Native American people look at adding anything to our life, we pray over it. We ask, "How does this affect our life? How does it affect all the rest of creation upon the Earth? How does it affect our relationship to our Creator, and all the generations to come?" That's what we ask ourselves before we bring something new into our life path. We know that we are not here just for ourselves. We're responsible for everything on the planet, everything that we come into contact with. That has to be acknowledged In our life, when we're just little children, that's put into our minds."

-- Sun Bear --


Sun Bear was a Chippewa medicine man who founded the Bear Tribe, which was located near Spokane, Washington.

Dear Horny (er) I mean Alice. I like Sun Bear's outlook on life. Our planet is in such a mess because of our negligence. Hope your Valentine Day was a good one. Okay, I guess there are some in the US who still love you or at least think you are extra special. Then there are some who says the jury is still out, ha ha ha.
