My North Star

Mar26

What is my North Star?

What do I want to do with the rest of my life?

Write for sure

Without writing I don’t know who I am

Without writing I will shrivel up and wilt 

What else?

Be with my family and serve them

My children are adults now 

That took some getting used to 

I want to be in their lives 

I want to be close to them 

What else? 

Continue to grow spiritually 

That’s why we are in this earth

That’s the purpose of our lives

What else?

Serve my community

Continue serving the Shrine 

The jewel of Montreal

What else?

Take care of my health

My health has always been fragile

So many ups and downs in my life 

But I’m grateful for where I am

And want to continue looking after myself

Native spirituality

Nov29

Tell me about native spirituality I asked

It’s all about living in harmony with each other, animals and plants and the natural world 

We are all one family

Here, we grow spiritually by being kind, serving others and working for peace and unity 

In the other worlds of God we continue to grow 

Life and death are on the same continuum 

The spirit is constant in both

We need to thank the creator for his bounties

We need to keep our oceans and rivers clean

We need to hunt sustainably 

And we need to heal from the wrongs done to us in the past

Art can play an important role in this healing

Art can bring people together and increase understanding 

Art can build a bridge between cultures

These are all aspects of living spiritually
