The Teachings of Mother Earth<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother Earth teaches us to be human.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She brings love to life and shares her gifts with us.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In return for the gifts of our Mother,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

it is our responsibility as humans to care<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

for all living beings living upon her.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The rock carries the wisdom of the ages and is known<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

as the oldest teacher and is called, “Grandfather”.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the rock we learn inner strength and faith.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The rock is slow to move yet when the rock moves,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

the whole world pays attention.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The tree teaches us about honesty for the tree<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

is able to move the nutrients from the roots<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to its uppermost branches. The sap moves<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

through the tree just as we must learn to allow<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

truth to move through us. For each human there is<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

a tree that is just like you. If you are acting as though<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

you carry the whole world upon your shoulders,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

you will see a tree that is bowed down. Some trees<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

appear to be tall, straight and beautiful, yet that same tree<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

may be rotten on the inside. Some people are like that.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crooked people will see crooked trees, just like them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We must strive to be tall, straight and honest and grounded<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

with a good root system and to know that just as each tree<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

is an individual and a member of a family, so are we.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it gets walked on, grass, keeps coming back.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As humans we do that to one another, yet even when we<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

get “walked upon” we must show kindness to ourselves<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and others and keep coming back. We also nurture, fertilize<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and care for the grass just as we must care for one another.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A blade of grass has two sides to it just as we, as humans<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

have a smooth side and a rough side. We must recognize this<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

and be kind to ourselves in order to smooth out the rough edges.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The animals give us the greatest gift of all and that is<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the lesson of sharing. They give up their lives so that<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we can live. In the old days, our ancestors would offer<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

a prayer to the Creator and ask for an animal to feed<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the people. When a hunter connected with an animal,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

that was an indication the animal was ready to die.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After the hunter killed the animal, its heart was divided<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

among the hunters and a piece of the heart was offered<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

back to Mother Earth with a prayer of thanks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As humans we need to learn to share<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

with one another and give thanks for the<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

gifts of life shared with us.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The four teachings of faith, honesty, caring<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and sharing which come with the rock,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the tree, the grasses and the animals keep us<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

connected with our Mother Earth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
