About

Some of my favorite quotes...

"Hear me, my chiefs.  I am tired.  My heart is sick and sad.  From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."~Cheif Joseph~ 

"Sacred One, teach us love, compassion, honor, that we may heal the Earth, and heal each other."~Ojibway Prayer


"Being Indian is an attitude, a state of mind, a way of being in harmony with all things and all beings. It is allowing the heart to be the distributor of energy on this planet; to allow feelings and sensitivities to determine where energy goes; bringing aliveness up from the Earth and from the Sky, putting it in and giving it out from the heart." -Brooke Medicine Eagle

May all sentient beings be filled with loving-kindness and happiness; May they wish


to become healing herbs in the days of epidemics to cure the ill. May they wish to


become rice plants in the days of famine to save the hungry


Rain falls, wind blows, plants bloom, leaves mature and are blown away; these


phenomena are all interrelated with causes and conditions, are brought about by


them, and disappear as the causes and conditions change.

 

with love...

Hello !

 

I am a Chartered Accountant by profession and a social activist to do some improvement in every field. Suggesting how to correct the things and willing to find like minded people to improve the wrong things I never liked copying in my life and always encouraged the hard working people and helped the needy  in my life. I am of opinion that God is one and we get involve in one religion because we are trained accordingly.I do believe not to hurt any creature or animal so I am fully vegetarian and do not eat egg, meat or fish but I do drink milk and eat cheese. I do believe that God has created a blue print according to which we are moving, doing and acting as per his wishes but we can change that blue print by doing good acts and involving in charties and social work.

 

With Regards

AK

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all. 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 wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Cecelia,

I'm a new member of Wiser Earth and appreciate such groups as they give us inspiration and hope. I was born in Michigan and moved to Colorado about 25 years ago. Perhaps you can give me some insight with your background. Was Hiawatha Ojibwa or Chippewa? Do you know of any 'good' literature on Hiawatha's history other than the poem, 'The Song of Hiawatha'? I am working on a book (taking a lot of time) and want to get the details right.

The Dakota, Lakota, Nakota people here often end their prayers and meetings with the words "Mitakua Oyasin" (I might have misspelled that), which translates "We are all related". Thanks in advance.



Respectfully,

Ken Terry
