Native Teaching/Alaska Thinking/Not So Much Lower 48 Places I've Been

Elder's Meditation of the Day - September 8



"Keep your life simple because the more you get, the more complicated it becomes."



--Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE



The old ones say, lead a simple life. The society we live in is all about getting more houses, cars, luxury and credit cards. The law of worry says, the more you have, the more you need to worry. You get a house, then you need insurance, then you need to take care of the yard and the list goes on. Next, you may want a bigger house with a bigger yard which costs more in insurance. Along with the accumulation of materialism, are other "gifts." Soon you become a slave and the materialism owns you. Lead a simple life and have peace of mind. Lead a simple life and be spiritual.



Creator, let my foundation be spiritual and simple
