Our beautiful Mother Earth is going thru many  good changes. So she can reclaim her glory, we have to help her by praying that the love and joy that we have found here together will spread to encompass the world. That all who strive toward  wholeness and communion with our Creator may  come to see the face of the ONE in every one. &, Uma   Elder's Meditation of the Day - November 13     "My Grandfather survived on this earth without using anything that did not go back into the earth. The whole world could learn from that." --Floyd Westerman, SIOUX Our grandfathers knew how to live in harmony. They did not create poisons or technologies that destroyed things. They did not make their decisions based on greed or for selfish reasons. They did not take more then they used. Their thoughts and actions were about respect. The Elders conducted themselves in a respectful way. We need to consider our actions around respect for Mother Earth. My Creator, have the grandfathers teach us today about the old ways.
