Don’t let the grass grow on the path of friendship.
Native American Proverb (Blackfoot)
Brief Analysis
Friendship is a delicate flower that requires constant care and attention. It is a bond that can bring warmth, joy, and comfort to our lives, but it can also wither away if we neglect it.
Picture a path running through a field, with grass growing tall on either side. Now imagine that this path represents your friendship. The grass will eventually overtake the path if you don’t walk along it often enough.
The same applies to friendships – if we neglect them for too long, they can become overgrown with distance and indifference.
So, let’s not allow the grass to grow on the path of friendship. Let’s tend to it with care and attention, and watch it grow and blossom.
We just now are having our weather cool off..Thank goodness....Had records broken for Oct. In The 100s....now 78....Hope every one is staying safe & well.....Hugs Lorribelle54
LIFE IS A REPEATED CYCLE OF GETTING LOSTAND THEN FINDING YOURSELF AGAIN
There are many smaller cycles with in that cycle where you get lost to a smaller degree and then remember yourself again . Sometimes you do it to your self on purpose, consciously or un consciously. every time you get lost , it is so you can learn something or experience something from a different perspective.
Good Morning Happy Trails ~Stay Strong and Soar High Blessings Friend GOOD
I came across this image and story the other day and had to share it with you all.
The image, as you can see, is of a crow, sitting on the back of an eagle. The crow is biting the eagle as it is flying, high in the sky.
The story says:
“The only bird that will dare peck at an eagle is the crow. The crow sits on the eagles back and bites his neck.”
Now listen to this:
“The eagle does not respond or fight with the crow. It simply opens up its wings and begins to rise higher and higher in the sky.”
“The higher the eagle flies, the harder it is for the crow to breathe, and then, due to a lack of oxygen, the crow falls away and the eagle is free.”
What’s the moral of the story?
Stop wasting your time with the CROWS of LIFE!
The crow represents all the challenges of LIFE!
The crow represents so many things in your life… Some people that should not be in your life… critics… opinions… distractions… all the annoyances of life. Everything that is pecking at you, prodding you, disturbing you, AND challenging you.
You can choose to fight everything, wasting your precious energy and getting nowhere… or you can SOAR HIGHER like the eagle and watch all of your challenges fade away.
When people criticise you: GO HIGHER. When life challenges you: GO HIGHER. When there seems to be endless problems pecking at you: GO HIGHER!
You go higher by GETTING BETTER! You go higher by doing that WORK ON YOU. LEARNING MORE so you can BE MORE! WORKING HARDER and WORKING SMARTER so you can RESPOND BETTER.
Then, when the ‘crows of life’ appear, they won’t stay around for long, because they will not be able to BREATHE at your level!
Most challenges disappear when you go HIGHER.
Problems can only disturb you when you’re not good enough to handle them.
When YOU improve, your LIFE improves. When YOU improve, your response to EVERY CHALLENGE life throws at you is STRONGER… and so it makes sense that your LIFE will be STRONGER!
So when life challenges you today, be an EAGLE… GO HIGHER!
Problems can only disturb you when you’re not good enough to handle them. GET BETTER.
“That hand is not the color of yours, but if I prick it, the blood will flow, and I shall feel pain. The blood is of the same color as yours. God made me, and I am a Man.” – Standing Bear
Standing Bear (1829-1908) was the leader of a small group of Poncha people. In 1876, the US government told them to move to Indian Territory in Oklahoma, but the Ponca decided to go back to their traditional land instead. When they arrived, federal troops forced them to leave. The trip was brutal, costing many their lives, including Standing Bear’s wife and daughter. After arriving in Oklahoma, Standing Bear’s son died. They turned back, wanting to bury the body on their land, but the US government caught up and detained them. In court, the government argued that Standing Bear was “neither a citizen, nor a person,” which meant he couldn’t sue. Standing Bear’s lawyers argued the opposite, and when given a chance to speak, Standing Bear spoke the quote above. The judge sided with Standing Bear, allowing him to bury his son and ruling that Native Americans were people under habeas corpus, which is the right to report unlawful detention.
