Life Is A Walking
A Native American elder shares profound wisdom about our journey through life…
“I am Good Buffalo Eagle. Hear my words.
The Creator gave all Two-Legged beings a sacred gift. We call this the Gift of Choice. Regardless of where we are born, all come to earth with this gift. Along with this Gift of Choice, all Two-Legged beings have a sense of knowing right from wrong from the One Who Stands Within. Therefore, the Gift of Choice allows us to choose knowingly.
My Pauline, the Woman of my Heart, states that in her Navajo language, life is a walking, a journey. So, if life upon Mother Earth is a journey, there are two ways to walk.
By applying the Gift of Choice, we can choose to walk for- ward or we can choose to walk backward. Because we choose knowingly, with every step we take forward or backward, we are accountable.
Because we are accountable, there are consequences. Con- sequences, however, are not chosen. They might be delayed, but by and by they will come.
Forward Walking choices are rewarded with consequences that light the way to peace, happiness, joy, comfort, knowledge, and wisdom. Backward Walking choices bring to the Two- Legged beings consequences of misery, despair, and darkness.
