Leaving the Nieve Snow for places south in Mexico - Open to learning about the language and culture of my relatives to the south

FUN GOLDEN BOOKS from 1969 & 1970 respectively giving me another open door to discovery on Turtle Island, aka North America

 A few weeks back, I was talking with my Carleton College Classmate of 1969, Craig in Nayarit Mexico - and he suggested booking a Sun Country Direct Flight to Jalisco, the state next to Nayarit --And what a great time to get out of snow country, when the Super Duper Bowl comes to the Twin Cities  -  so grateful to spirit for the wisdom as I have noticed during my courier runs, the energy is ramping up here so to speak --good self care is for me, to leave places of increased drama and the homeland insecurities belief in the "illusion of control " For me the meditation here says a lot, I am choosing love and life every day  --Mitakuye Oyasin

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 31
"In sharing, in loving all and everything, one people naturally found a due portion of the thing they sought, while, in fearing, the other found need of conquest."
-- Chief Luther Standing Bear, SIOUX
There are two systems of thought that are available for us to choose from. One is the love-thought system and the other is the fear-thought system. If we choose love, we will see the laws, principles, and values of the Creator. If we choose fear, the results will be so paralyzing that it willl cause us to take over and not rely on the Great Spirit. The fear-thought system will automatically cause attack, conflict,      need to control, fault-finding, and the need to have control over others. The love-thought system seeks peace of mind, unity, and causes us to be love seekers.

Great Spirit, today let me see only love.
