on this last day of the fourth moon of this turn around the sun, the moon of peace and healing, i want to share a healing talisman always with me… accompanying me to all healing temples, blue medicine painted pony sees me through everything and forms healing community wherever she is…. mary iron eyes worked overtime to complete her vision and prayer, blue medicine, before passing over in 2003…

in celebration of peace and healing moon, some wisdom of the first peoples….

The Earth is our Mother, care for her.
 Honor your ancestors through your actions.
Open your heart and soul to Great Spirit.
All life is sacred; treat all beings respectfully.
Take from Earth what is needed and nothing more.
Put the good of all before your own interests.
Give constant thanks for each new day.
Speak the truth, but only of good in others.
Follow the rhythms of nature; rise and retire with sun.
Enjoy life’s journey, leave no tracks.

Namaste…
