| The Creator & me Quote:
I have been really struggling the past few months. Life has been so hard. These past few days have been okay though. I took the day off work today for no other reason than I need a break, solitude. I went out on the lake this morning. I jokingly told my sister that I was not coming back until I found serenity. As I was thinking of heading home, an Eagle visited me. He sat in a tree directly in front of me for about 10 minutes and then left. Then this afternoon, I was sitting on the deck alone, listening to music & reading. Several Eagles (five I think) started soaring in front of my home, playing or possibly hunting, I’m not sure. It was just incredible. I made my tobacco offering. Some words came to me & I wrote them down: Be a loving & responsible father & husband. Risk my heart being broken. Do my best at my job. Be compassionate & kind. Be a good friend. Help & ask for help. Take care of myself & grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. There will be pain & suffering as I strive to be the best I can. This is all I know how to do. This is all I can do. I don’t feel great but I do feel a deeper peace, more acceptance. I have to do my best, take risks, & embrace life, even the suffering. The alternative is to sit alone and let life pass by. Yeah. This is all I can do. Miigwetch (Thank you).
