New Monk

In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
-Theodore Roethke

So be patient with the events in life that find you feeling disappointed, and remember each line we script in the Great Play we call life, is a line that is never wasted, and a line that can ultimately lead to something more beautiful than we can ever possibly imagine in the present. This is true for each one of us.
-Tim Watson

You too are a Medicine Wheel, and the magic of your Perceiving will be unfolded.

- Hyemeyohsts Storm

“I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells.  For when you are at the center within you and I am at that place within me, we shall be One.”

Spoken by Chief Crazy Horse, September, 1877.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
-Albert Einstein

The entire Creation still follows the Original Instructions of life. The Tree, the fruits, they never fail.
They never make a mistake to bring their fruits in their season.
The Animals never make a mistake.
They still live as they were created.
Among the Creation…Life, the Circle, a measurement with no beginning and no ending.
- Phillip Deere (Muskogee Creek 1977)

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated and perhaps forever talked to by God and his messengers.
- Brenda Ueland

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope. —Wendell Berry

Every element of creation expresses the Creator. Within each mountain, each stone, and each heart lies the Great Spirit… When looking upon a sunset, the trees, or even your worst enemy, you are looking at the Creator. Know this and give praise and prayer.

- Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (Redbird)

” A wee child toddling in a wonder world , , , I prefer to their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens where the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers. If this is Paganism, then at present, at least, I am a Pagan.”

- Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (Redbird)

The universe will reward you for taking risks on its behalf.
- Shakti Gawain
