For over 15,000 yeas - here on Turtle Island - those early ancestors - learned to take little and leave more - they care for Mother Earth - for thousands of years - devoid of Greed. Then "greed " came rolling in - and with in avarice and pandemonium.
For hundreds of years - the real motives - on some were steeped with convoluted concepts - we all have blood - we all need water to quench our thirst - we all need good air to breathe - good food to nourish our bodies - mostly importantly we must take care of our souls.
For hundreds of years - some chose to divide us - create classes - the rich, the poor, the masters, the slaves and more. Now, we all have realized - we can all perish - anyone one can fall prey - to this pandemic - anyone can become a victim and perish - if we do not value life. We cannot value life - if we do not love - we cannot love if we do not truly comprehend - sacrifice.
As human beings - we must respect - each other.
No one can come into the land of the host - and order people around.
It is not proper to go to someone home - and dare arrange the furniture - in the home that is not yours - and think all will be well.
Chief Sitting Bull - who you see above - united the Lakota Nation.
He sat on his horse and visited the Black Hill of Dakota - where he felt the Great Sprit - we do not have such leaders today.
Today we fail to listen to our ancestors - more our Elders - the Elders have wisdom - they guide us - only when we ask for guidance. They are humble but they are wise.
Each one of us - have in us the carbon - the same carbon found
in the making of the stars.
We evolved as human beings - we all have the same blood, we eat, drink, breathe to survive, we learn to be educated on issues - we all understand - we must nourish our souls.
We are part of Mother Earth - Mother Earth is part of us.
Chief Joseph
We all are put on this Earth - each one of us - to leave a legacy.
We each leave an imprint - in all my travels - I have seen much - and learn so much - that it feels my heart with joy - and brings tears of joy.
This Novel Covid-10 pandemic has challenged us - no more norms that we took for granted. Here in the United States a so called Super Power - has been brought to its knees.
We have a man in the White House - who have lost his mind.
A narcissist who feels no guilt, has no empathy, less compassion - as thousands die - not because they have to die - but because of poor leadership - and lack of compassion.
The Great Spirit see it all. We are now witnessing a time - unique in many ways. At this time - we must learn from our ancestors - our Elders - remember our Elders.
Our Elders steeped with ways of discerning - have felt this pain - have gone to trials and tribulations - when they say something - they mean it.
Our women and men warrior - those that have held close to what is right - those that stand up and speak Truth to Power - this is your time - do right and all will be well.
No one person - who is sane - who understands - the purpose of life - can pollute this Earth - and think there are NO - consequences to such sordid actions.
Indigenous people all over the world are hurting - and those guilt of greed, contamination, pollution - must realize - enough is enough.
This is a time to reflect - some cry and think hard - other laugh is off until they are found on the hospital bed - on some respirator or sorts - their lungs failing - breathing for that last gasp of air - and then no more.
Our Elders with all their wisdom - cannot find words for the mess that we have made. Each one of us - has a conscience - yet we have on occasion stifled our conscience - and chosen to be cocky - this is not that time to shun our responsibilities.
Our infants, children, youth, young adults, our beloved Elders, those with compromised health - more of mentally and physically challenge - have a lot to offer - good. We are in it - together - even as this dark cloud will pass away. Aho.
