Tuesday, December 23, 2003December 23 - Daily FeastThis is the time to talk kindly to ourselves. When time and tinsel begin to depress, some time alone is not a bad thing. And there's nothing wrong with being alone. Who is better company than we are? Who is more important to our well-being? Never say it is not worth the trouble to celebrate alone. When we are good friends with ourselves, we are good for others. This is the time to wrap two gifts. Put time and thought into the selection and into the paper and ribbon. Then give one of them to someone who most likely will not have a gift - and save the other to open later. The Cherokees are a close-knit tribe, but every person knows it is important to enjoy a time of perfect solitude and celebration. We need to know that when we all come together we will have something to offer - ourselves. ~ I must give something that I really value - therefore I promise to give (myself) my body. ~ CHASED-BY-BEARS "A Cherokee Feast of Days" by Joyce Sequichie Hifler *<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>* Elder's Meditation of the Day - December 23 "It's not the package and the wrapping which counts but what is inside, underneath the clothes and the skin." --Lame Deer, LAKOTA Our eyes and ears gather information that is fed to the mind, and we tend to form judgements, opinions and assumptions on what our perception is. We might see someone act a certain way, then label that person forever, not at all concentrating on what is inside the person. It matters not our height, our size, our facial features, or our gender. What matters is our thoughts. Good thoughts overcome all obstacles. Great Spirit, let my inside contain Your qualities. *<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>* Available online!
