March 5 - Daily Feast
Once you hear the cries of geese in flight, you never forget it. Distance may muffle the sound at first - but then all is silent and that clear spirited call comes through. The sound of geese is one of the earliest signs that the season is changing. Long ribbons pulled along in v-shape, turning like silver flecks in the sunlight before they fade into the blue. Like other treasures we want to preserve, we need to provide a place for them as an invitation to come and awaken us with their primitive cries.
~ Such nearness to nature as I have described keeps the spirit sensitive to impressions not commonly felt, and in touch with unseen powers. ~

Elder's Meditation of the Day - March 5
"I have always searched for my place and my people."
--Wendy Rose, HOPI/MIWOK
For every human being to feel connected, we must have the feeling of belonging. That is one of the values and benefits of a culture: it creates the feeling of belonging. If for some reason, while you were growing up, you did not develop the feeling of belonging, a search will be triggered and restlessness will be present in your heart. You will have a hole inside you, something missing, until you find your place and your people. Remember, we can get this feeling of belonging when we realize we belong to the Great Spirit and that He really loves us a lot.
My Creator, today, I belong to You. Let me feel Your presence. Thank You.

'THINK on THESE THINGS'
by Joyce Sequichie Hifler
It is always amazing to hear someone scoff at serious things. Perhaps they only scoff because they can't recognize anything really serious outside their own personal problems.... Or maybe they are just afraid to acknowledge anything they don't understand.
Whatever it is that keeps people thinking in such a limited area adds to the residue of dullness in their minds. And until they can mature enough to believe in something worthwhile they continue to add layer after layer of residue to the mind.
It is not surprising that some people believe themselves in possession of all knowledge to the point that they feel free to ridicule those who are still in the process of thinking things out. We can never truly judge another's reasoning. We can only see the results and with time it may be that the person will break through that accumulation of wisdom and kindness that is so necessary in tolerating others' opinions and beliefs. The will diminish and there will be a renewal of the spirit.
