Elders Meditation of the Day, October 20.

"As Elders, it is our place to show respect to our young people in order to gain respect."

--Grace Azak, NISGA'A
The attitude of our leaders will be the attitude of the people. The attitude of the parents will be the attitude of the children. If respect is shown from above, respect will be developed below. If the Elders show respect, the younger people will be respectful. As above, so below. This happens because of interconnectedness. The heart of the Elders is connected to the heart of the youth.

Great Spirit, in the fall season let me respect both the Elders and the youth.

Respect and Integrity... 2 values that get lots of lip service. Our hope is in setting the example and praying that others will do the same. Each of us is responsible for the welfare of the global "Nation" as each of us is a cog in the machine. I can't see to the maintenance and proper operation of my gear if I'm pointing a blaming finger at the crack in your camshaft.

Yep. And I aspire to be serene enough, today, to find it within me to be ready to be of assistance, rather than be aloof, should you decide to ask me for help with your camshaft, even though I may still harbor thoughts that your car is a wreck.
