Perspective is very important, she feels.
I concur. Thank you Carrie.

The Parable of Two Wolves

The Parable of Two Wolves





One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside all people.


He said, “My son, the battle is between two
wolves that dwell inside each and everyone of us.


“One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiority and ego.


The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith.”


The grandson thought about it for
a minute, and then asked his grandfather:


“Which wolf will win ?”


The old Cherokee simply replied:
“The one you feed.”

Give Time

Give Time





Whatever or whoever you give time to,
you give your attention to.


Whatever gets your attention gets your energy.
Whatever gets your energy must grow.


So what will you give your time to today
- who will get your attention?
What or who needs your attention?


Is it a task, a process or a relationship?
Or are you waiting for these things to
give you time and attention?


How long have you been waiting?
Why are you waiting?


Are you a leader or a follower,
a master or a slave?


Mmmm…all questions today!

Allah – Jalaluddin Rumi

Allah – Jalaluddin Rumi





I tried to find Him on the
Christian cross, but He was not there;


I went to the Temple of the Hindus
and to the old pagodas, but I could
not find a trace of Him anywhere.


I searched on the mountains and in
the valleys but neither in the heights
nor in the depths was I able to find Him.


I went to the Ka’bah in Mecca,
but He was not there either.


I questioned the scholars and
philosophers but He was beyond
their understanding.


I then looked into my heart
and it was there where He
dwelt that I saw Him;


He was nowhere
else to be found.


Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-73)

Peace and Wakan-Tanka

Peace and Wakan-Tanka





video,nativeamerican


“Peace… comes within the souls of men
when they realize their relationship, their
oneness, with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center of
the Universe dwells Wakan-Tanka, and
that this center is really everywhere.

It is within each of us.”

Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa)
OGLALA SIOUX


If we are to know peace
we must look within ourselves.


In order to do this, we must learn
to be still. We must quiet the mind.
We must learn to meditate.


Meditation helps us locate and find
the center that is within ourselves.
The center is where the Great One resides.


When we start to look for peace, we need
to realize where it is within ourselves. When
we experience conflict we need to pause for
a moment and ask the Power within ourselves,
“How do you want me to handle this? What
would you suggest I do in this situation?”


By asking the Higher Power
for help we find peace.


Creator, help me to find peace.
