Well, yes it makes sense that a caring person would get discouraged at what senseless fools do to innocent children, criticizing them or putting them down.
Our children and grandchildren are our future. We must make sure they are taught the traditions, the right way of living in harmony with the Creator and all his creatures, that all our natural world has spirits which are to be respected, that we must learn our tribal customs, languages, stories, dances, arts, history and music and keep it alive, keep it going through them.
We have come dangerously close to losing ALL of our precious Native American knowledge and wisdom, spirituality, langauges, and traditions, long kept hidden and secret from the world. Now is the time to light the fires of knowledge, to pass on the old ways of healing, living, caring for others, art and music forms, stories and history and to light that precious fire in our young ones. Now that its cool to be ndn, there are no barriers to bringing back into the light all of the wisdom and old ways -- it is the only way we can ALL heal, and the only way we can heal Mother Earth. This I firmly believe.
So, never give up. Keep trying. Help one person. That person will help another, and so on. Keep the circle of life going because we are all connected. It is the way our Creator meant for us to be.
Blessings on you and your family. May you walk in sunlight with smiles on your faces and dance on the soft grass with joy. May your dreams be filled with good and helpful spirits bringing messages to lead you farther along on this good Red Path. May you sing the old songs proudly and loudly. May you stand tall and hold your head high, as the Creator made you to be.
Aho.
