Beautiful wisdom 🪶

Do not chase the sun.
Walk toward it with a clean heart.
What is meant for you will not miss you
when your steps are honest.

When the wind rises, do not fight it.
Let it teach you direction.
Some storms are not punishment.
They are corrections.
They turn you back to your own medicine.

Do not confuse noise with truth.
The loudest voices are often the most lost.
Listen for the quiet instruction
that comes after the tears,
after the anger,
after the pride lays down.

Carry your pain like a bundle, not a weapon.
Do not swing it at the ones who love you.
Do not build a home inside your wounds.
Build a path.
Build a way through.

If you have to choose,
choose what keeps your spirit gentle.
Choose what lets you sleep without shame.
Choose what you can offer to the next generation
without lowering your eyes.

And when you arrive,
do not brag about the distance.
Give thanks for the guidance.
Give thanks for the road.
Then turn around and help somebody else find their way.

Today we honor the sacred element of water

Water is life! It flows through our bodies, through the rivers, through the rains, & through the tears we release when our hearts need to cleanse.

In the ancestral ways, water is not something we take for granted ... it is something we pray with, something we give thanks to, something we recognize as a living spirit.

Water teaches us many things. It teaches us how to soften, how to move around obstacles, how to cleanse & begin again.

Today for World Water Day, I invite you to pause & give thanks. Hold your glass of water with intention. Speak words of gratitude before you drink. Offer a prayer for the waters of the Earth — for the rivers, the oceans, the lakes, & all those who depend on them.

May we remember to treat water with respect & reverence!

May the waters of the Earth be protected, & the waters within you remain clear & strong. May we walk in gratitude for this sacred gift

~Grandmother Flordemayo
