“Looking behind I am filled with gratitude. Looking forward I am filled with vision. Looking within I discover peace.” Q’ero Indians
Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
There are many things that will catch your eye. But only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred. “Which wolf will win, grandfather?” asks the young boy. “Whichever one I feed,” is the reply. –Native American Proverb
Let us walk softly on the earth with all living beings great and small remembering as we go, that one God kind and wise created all. -Native American Blessing
When told the reason for daylight savings time the old Indian said, “Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.”
Treats for the tribe.
