May 10 - Daily Feast

Our job is to be equal to opportunity - not the other way around. Good people have been put in positions that appeared ideal but it did not work. Unless a person has the spark of imagination and the ability to see and sense the precise workings of something, there is little chance it will happen. Standing on the rung of opportunity comes easily enough, but to keep our feet there is another story. It is the life and spirit in us that sets a wise pace and wants others to do as well. Our star has to shine by good use - not because we had equal opportunity.

~ The way, and the only way, to check and stop this evil, is for all the Redmen to untie in claiming a common and equal right to the land. ~

Elder's Meditation of the Day - May 10

"When you go inside that power, there's no fear. It's so beautiful!! There's no fear there. There's no pain."

Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA

Imagine you are standing on the edge of a stage. In the center of the stage is a spotlight shining from above. If you stand anyplace outside the spotlight, in the darkness, you will experience fear. But as soon as you step into the light in the center of the stage, all fear and pain go away. When we stand in the power, fear cannot exist. How do we find this place of power? We pray our way into it. We ask the Creator to take our hand and help us. When we get to that place, we will feel the fear go away.

Great Spirit, hold my hand and guide me today.

'THINK on THESE THINGS'
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Have you heard how dreadful the neighbors are these days to ignore another's plight, and how the world has gone to the dogs because people don't care? Have you heard how hardened hearts are and how callus and unfeeling the human race has become?

It may be true such things do happen.....for we hear about it daily. But it likely is that we hear more about the unusual than the usual.

For have you heard about the builder who laid his own plans aside to help another build his house....and the lady who gave her home and nursing care to someone who had no other place to go. Or the child who found its needs fulfilled in the love of a foster home?

We may ignore, but we can never erase the love of the human race for the human race. The world may abound with sordid happenings; it may revel in senseless activities. But called to help, the greater number will respond without thought of the cost to themselves.

Of these things we hear so little. With these we come in contact every day and accept it as the normal pattern of life....which it is.....for each unthinking, infantile mind there are two great thoughtful ones. And the second great Commandment still works its wonders in all our lives.
