The prairie is large and good, and so are the heavens above, and I do not want them stained by the blood of war.

Early morning sunlight sets frosted grasses ablaze with gems, topaz, emeralds, diamonds, and the heart is supremely rich, u wa nei I, and very enlightened. Such mornings call us to brightness of spirit and to healing the deep hurts of the soul. Step out and breathe in the peace. Turn up the palms to give thanks and receive strength for the day and wisdom to begin this year. Because nature thrives where humans give up, the negative is turned away. All around us the breathtaking views tell us to do the same.

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 1
"...because if you believe in something, and believe in it long enough, it will come into being."
--Rolling Thunder, CHEROKEE
We are created by the Great One to accomplish His will through our mental pictures or visions. Our thoughts are three dimensional: words, pictures and feelings. We create the vision by thinking the words and we create feeling for the vision by feeling enthusiasm, desire, commitment and other strong beliefs. Once we create the vision, we move toward and become like that which we think about. All visions are tested by our self talk; for example, "This isn't going to happen, where is the money coming from anyway?" When this happens, we need to let go of the test and focus on belief in the vision. Why? Because God said if we believe it long enough, He will guarantee it!!!
Great One, let my beliefs be strong today. Help me to have faith in my visions.

"THINK ON THESE THINGS"
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler
Here it is -- the New Year. We have seen many unusual changes and we can expect even more. These are unusual times we live in and predictions from times past are happening before our eyes. True, there have been many that were far out, but more have come to pass -- and more will come.
Give backing to every good thing and watch every word that it does not sink us, as individuals, in quick sand we did not know existed. This cannot be business as usual. It must be carefully handled and patiently studied if we are to reap our rich harvest.
Ignorance is like the man Emerson wrote about, "The civilized man has built a coach, but lost the use of his feet." We have to know we are daily building our lives and we need to be conscious of the blueprint we are following.

January 2 - Daily Feast
Volume II
Little quiet spells are as rare as jewels. Many can't stand even a little silence and try to fill it with empty chatter - or with words that should never have been spoken. It is a great art to be silent. The Cherokee calls it da lo ni ge s to di - e lu we i, which is golden silence. We paint with our words that which we want others to see, and we choose colors to communicate, to understand, to sense. The fewest words make silence speak most eloquently.
~ The fruits of silence are self-control, courage, endurance, patience and dignity. ~

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 2
"People have to be responsible for their thoughts, so they have to learn to control them. It may not be easy, but it can be done."
--Rolling Thunder, CHEROKEE
WE control our thoughts by controlling our self talk. At any moment we choose we can talk to ourselves differently. The fight comes with the emotions that are attached to our thoughts. If our emotion is high and seems to be out of control, we can say to ourselves STOP IT!, take a few deep breaths, then ask the Creator for the right thought or the right decision or the right action. If we practice this for a while, our thought life will be different. It helps if in the morning we ask God to direct our thinking. God loves to help us.
Great Spirit, today, direct my thinking so my choices are chosen by You.

THINK ON THESE THINGS
by Joyce Sequichie Hifler
What would the old Indians thought about the time we are living in? Some would only grunt but their thoughts would have been profound. They had ways of "hearing through the bushes", meaning they could hear the signs of the times -- yes, they had ways we do not understand with all our electronic equipment.
When we stopped believing in the supernatural we gave up our sensitive understanding, our ability to hear through the bushes. When we were very young we had no TV, no radio, no cell phones or taped music. Our perception was very sharp, and though our mother tried to put a lid on mine, I would say it all anyway.
Children without cartoons are more "knowing" than those whose minds are being entertained but not particularly taught. Never feel bad because of what was not available. Be glad that you can think and be richly blessed, and don't be surprised when you can "hear through the bushes."
