Elder's Meditation Feb. 12
".the spirit still has something for us to discover-an herb, a sprig, a flower-a very small flower, maybe you can spend a long time in its contemplation, thinking about it."
--Lame Deer, LAKOTA
The world today is about hurry up! get there faster! Work harder, produce more, hurry up, eat quickly, be on time, don't get stressed- headaches, conflict, drink to calm down, go to training on stress management, time management-STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! Go spend 5 minutes with a flower or a plant. Look at it-think about it-look at its beauty, smell it, close your eyes and smell it again. Touch it; touch with your eyes closed. Listen to it; listen to it with your eyed closed. Slow your mind down. Think about the little things. Now close your eyes and pray.
Great Spirit, this feeling of calmness that I have, let me have it all day long.

that's so true...
I've done that many a time and I don't know why I did so but now I know I am trying to slow myself down...I feel bad cause people look at me funny when I do that i sit there and contemplate and sometimes people think I am sad but no, I am just trying to get myself together instead of feeling like I am a shattered vessel & pieces of myself everywhere. Thank you for clarifying this for me.
