After many days of wandering in the forest, a young
man who had been driven from his village by his uncle, found the city of the Eagle People. The chief's daughter took pity on the exhausted young man, and shortly after married him.
After a while the old chief gave the young man a cloak of feathers so he could fly like the other eagles. He enjoyed flying far out over the ocean and catching whales for the Eagle people to eat. One day whilst fishing he made the tragic error of grasping a super - natural giant clam, which pulled him beneath the water until only one hand was showing above the waves.
When he did not return, the other eagles searched the forest, mountains and sea. When they saw his hand above the water, they flew down and grasped it , only to be pulled beneath the waves themselves. All of them except the old chief's wife who also had a supernatural powers. When she saw what has happened, she flew out over the water and dragged all of her people back to the safety of the land .
So I said unto you stay positive and SOAR LIKE A EAGLE ...Have a Beautiful Day ! HAPPY TRAILS. FRIEND BLESSINGS

Sacred Pipes Mean Way More Than Peace for Native Americans
This pipe bowl and stem, circa 1885, is believed to have belonged to the Ojibwe Indians who lived mainly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Ontario, Canada. Public Domain
Too many Lakota traditionalists and spiritual practitioners, the pipe is the very symbol of life itself
because it represents the interconnectivity describe in the prayer "Mitakuye Oyasin," or "All My Relatives." The bowl is usually made of stone and represents the Earth, and the stem is of ash wood and represents all that lives on the Earth. Anyone who carries a pipe keeps the two components apart until it is used for prayer or ceremony. When the two parts are fitted together, the the Earth and all who live on it are connected. is a powerful moment that should be filled with humility and prayer. When the prayer and the ceremony are completed, the two components are separated out of respect.

EACH DAY IS A BEAUTIFUL GIFT
Selflessness is a virtue that can not be legislated;
it must be demonstrated sincerely . Its value and impact must be learned first hand . One way to learn is from someone else's selfless action. When we do so , we learn that selflessness needs a little more than sincere effort to have a effect. For example, the kind of selflessness that good mothers devote to their children provides one of life's most valuable lessons.
