I can remember working very hard trying to see what the elders saw. Those old traditional people, that is who the elders are, those people that carry on the tradition all their lives that help you change. The worst thing that one can do is lie to oneself. My efforts are to honor those people that taught me, and that's to see what is there, not what I want to be there, and to know that everything is related. To learn the natural laws.
Prayers can mean many different things to different people.
So in that highest thinking, it is to see how we are connected. To know that we are not accidents, to know that there is meaning if we just look for it. That is just why I am talking to you now. To understand is not to be afraid. No one is to come between the one who is praying and the Being being prayed to.
