Autumn 2009 — Expressions of Spirit

The New Earth, by Aaron Pyne

Power Thoughts

Old thought: There is no hope for our planet.
New thought: The Earth is healing now, and change is a natural part of the healing process.

Old thought: I am afraid for the future.
New thought: Everything that is happening is in divine order, and I accept the changes that are necessary for a healed world.

Old thought: The animals in my dreams are always scary.
New thought: What are these animals trying to tell me?

We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors;
we borrow it from our Children.
—Indian proverb

All things share the same breath—the beast, the tree,
the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
—Chief Seattle

Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence.
—Indian proverb

All birds, even those of the same species, are not alike, and it is the same with animals and with human beings. The reason WakanTanka does not make two birds, or animals, or human beings exactly alike is because each is placed here by WakanTanka to be an independent individuality and to rely upon itself.
—Shooter Teton Sioux

Certain things catch your eye,
but pursue only those
that capture your heart.
—Indian proverb
