Cherokee Feast of Days
Living catches up with us quickly when we let everything become drudgery. We stop learning. We quit looking with interest, and we stop being aware of our own needs and feelings. Everything becomes routine and nothing new is on the horizon. We blame far too much on age. Age has little to do with the blue fog we let settle over us and the things we usually care about. It is our lack of energy brought about by our lack of vision. It is a lack of interest that dulls memory. A ga yv li, the elderly, are held in high regard in all Indian tribes. They have to remember so they can tell the young--and they would tell us to watch our mouths so not to speak negatively. They would tell us to renew our vision. They say our potential is unlimited and we will know when some- thing or someone lights our candle.What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night... it is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset. CROWFOOT
