MisfitsCafe.com - Today's Feast ~ December 9

 

A Cherokee Feast Of Days

When the first snowflakes catch on leafless trees
and crisp cold wind sweeps our faces, we know
winter is in earnest. It turns the bright green canes
of the wild rose to gray and sprinkles hickory nuts
and walnuts on the path to the woods.
The entire landscape seems to be one color ~ but the
variation is so subtle and low~key that it takes a little
while to see the green lichen and the misty blue haze
that hangs over the tiny stream.
Life sometimes appears to be at a standstill, and nothing
is beautiful ~ no color, no shape, no hope. But if we refocus,
if we are sincere and we use wisdom, we will move toward
a new spring, just as does the season.

Whatever the fate of other Indians, the Iroquois
might still have been a nation.

Meditations with our Native American Elders

"We look to other peoples in other lands to
recognize and stand with this Circle of
Life."

~ Traditional Circle of Elders
SANTA CLARA PUEBLO

 

All people on the Earth are brothers and sisters.
We may be different colors, different ages,
different sizes, different genders. We may have
different values, different knowledge, different
cultures. We may call the Great Spirit by
different names, have different ceremonies.
We may have different beliefs, different habits,
different clothes and different hairdos. In the
Indian Way, all people are welcome to the Circle.
 

Great Spirit,~*help me welcome my brothers
and sisters to my Circle.
