"No matter what happens,you do not betray your dreams,goals,or self."
A quote by Harry Palmer,author Avatar Materials."What you think of as an impossible dream might be reasonable if you thought differently."
A high standard by the American Indian Constitution of the Five Nations around 1450 or before.
We now crown you with the sacred emblem of the deer's antlers,the emblem of your Lordship.You shall now become a mentor of the people of the Five Nations.The thickness of your skin shall be seven spans - which is to say that you shall be filled with peace and goodwill and your mind filled with a yearning for the welfare of the people of the Confederacy.
With endless patience you shall carry out your duty,and your firmness shall be tempered with tenderness for your people.Neither anger nor fury shall lodge in your mind,and all your words and actions shall be marked with calm deliberation.
In all your deliberations in the Council,in your efforts at lawmaking,in all your official acts,self-interest shall be cast into oblivion.Cast not away the warnings of any others,if they should chide you for any error or wrong you may do,but return to the way of the Great Law,which is just and right.
Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people and have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations,even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of earth-the unborn of the future Nation.
Copied from Native American Wisdom Compiled by Kent Nerburn,Ph.D.and Louise Mengelkoch,M.A. ISBN0-931432-78-2
Can you hear autumn leaves floating to Mother Earth,or a bears roar three miles away? Some can.Learn how to listen.
The quest is to be aware of earths voice.She leaves her earth sounds with observable evidence in our environment .Humans are to act according,responsible for their action.How is our stewardship going?
Just a few words we might ponder on,and try to embrace.
