Success is not measured by what you have but by what you do. How often do you stand up for the sick, the weak and the poor? How often do you speak out against injustice, lies and manipulation of people. That is how I measure success.

Man since the beginning of time has been responsible for all life on Mother Earth. Responsible to Mother Earth for how she is treated and responsible for how we treat each other. This is the law and duty of the Earthkeepers.

If you learn to see, feel, hear and know with your heart you become one with all that is.
Give up the limited and incorrect viewpoint of the physical senses and learn to trust your knowing and all else will you start to learn.

Old Mary 1952

Just remember the circle is always changing and needs come at different times. Pray for those in need.

Old Mary said to me many years ago. "Show me the part of you that is Indian and show me the part that is not." I couldn't do it then or now.

Never forget that Mother Earth and Women share the same gift, peace, harmony and growth as well as the ability to show extreme anger. Treat both as well as you are able.

Elder's Meditation of the Day - April 17
"Women know more about love than men do...Love is taking. Love is sharing. Love is learning things about each other."
-- Mary Leitka, HOH
The Elders say Mother Earth shares Her special gifts of love with the Women. The Women know about bringing forth life and nurturing their offspring. Through this gift of love the Earth really makes the Woman special. Men should look upon the Woman with a Sacred Eye. She should be respected. The Woman is a role model for love. When the Woman talks, we should listen; when she shares, we should be grateful. We should all learn about each other.

Grandmother, teach me to love with the power of the Woman.

Empty prayers come from the head and the lips. True prayer is from all of you. When you can see, smell taste, feel and hear the result of what you desire within you then that is true prayer. Always seek to achieve true prayer. False prayer is produced from fear or a vague hope that someone is listening. Real prayer makes you and the cause one and brings results.

When I make a friend, that friend is mine for life no matter what he or she does or says after. I may stop communicating with them for a while if they attack me, however when they need my help I will be there.

Have you watched the blue sky turn a dirty browinish gray, I have. Have you watched the oceans fish and coral die off, I have. Have you seen the litter and trash alongside the roads, I have.Have you seen the forest raped for profits, I have. Have you seen the sprawl as people try to flee the cities and take the cities with them., I have. Have you seen the birds and animals die off because they have no place to live or nest, I have.Have you felt Mother Earth sob at what we are doing to her, I have. I look in the mirror and see the person who is doing this, I look in the mirror and see the person who can change this, have you?

Great Mystery does not respect any life more then another. Life is energy, life is beyond just human existence. Life is from Creator and part of Creator. Who are we to deny it to others?

Women have always had to protect the children, to suffer rape and degradation due to war. They are the one's who make a home and tend the sick, feed the people and comfort the dying. We ignore the wisdom they have been given at our peril.

True prayer which is seeing, feeling, knowing something from the heart is far from the empty words and pleading of the people who pray for public recognition.
