Elder's Meditation - February 19

The Old Man said, `you are both ugly and handsome and you must accept your ugliness as well as your handsomeness in order to really accept yourself."
--Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA

My Grandfather told me one time that any person who is judgmental to another is also judgmental to themselves. If we want to be free of being judgmental, we need to first work on how judgmental we are to ourselves. If we quit judging ourselves and start accepting ourselves as we are, we will start accepting others as they are. Then we will experience a level of new freedom.

Great Spirit, let me accept myself as I am --honoring both my strengths and my weaknesses.

Like breathing - in, out!! I'm not sure it matters which way round we start to understand but I agree as we judge out we judge in and as we judge in we judge out!!
