Stay....stay and learn the Dance of Life. Learning to live a life that maintains balance and harmony within ourselves, with others and with the environment is the the lesson. Life provides the tests. Our lives, as in nature, move in a circle and is often related to planting, and harvest. Nature teaches that life moves in circles. Our lives also move in a circle and the way we live becomes our dance. In the Dance of Life, our thoughts and actions are the seeds we plant and will one day harvest! "The Way To Dance The Dance Of Life" Honor the sacred. Honor the Earth....our Mother Honor the elders. Honor all with whom we share the Earth: Four-leggeds, two-leggeds, winged ones, Swimmers, crawlers, plant and rock people. Walk in balance and beauty. "We Know We Are Out Of Step When" We cannot walk a straight line. We've stepped on our brother's foot. We forget to be thankful. We feel alone. We think our dance in the only dance there is. We forget to keep on dancing ;D My pages will hopefully educate us all to the unfair struggles, past and present, that the American Indian endure. First, stop by and meet Medicine Deer. She is why this site got started. Go back to a time when the Apache lived in peace and harmony with Mother Earth.
