Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."
Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."

I'm so enjoying your posts today. This is a wonderful quote. I have a very small mount of Cherokee "blood" running in my veins. My paternal great grandmother was a Cherokee woman. It is a part of me I cherish and am very grateful to those ancestors that helped bring me to this moment.
ReplyDeleteDelighted you're enjoying the posts, Teresa. This made me think of a quote, lol, my fondness for quotes, "Being Indian is an attitude, a state of mind, a way of being in harmony with all things and all beings. It is allowing the heart to be the distributor of energy on this planet; to allow feelings and sensitivities to determine where energy goes; bringing aliveness up from the Earth and from the Sky, putting it in and giving it out from the heart." - Brooke Medicine Eagle
ReplyDeleteI like to think that, other than genetic affiliations to certain groups, that ultimately we're all One Tribe, the Human Tribe. If we all viewed it that way I'd guess a lot of problems would be solved. What do you think?
Yes, I agree. Old habits of thought run deep and are sometimes easy to fall back into. Nationalism, and over-identification with any group or tribe is detrimental to the whole. We are One, I have no doubt. To better understand and demonstrate the interconnectedness of all life is my desire.
