True Peace 9/2/2009 6:36:31 PM
With all the chatter about the Chris Brown - RIHANNA case, the interview with Larry King tonight. These words come to mind. Those who came before us have wisdom because of their life experiences and what was passed down to them. I have many ancestors I look to for guidance, Black Elk of the Oglala Sioux is one. The translation of his words have a strong impact on my life. The following resonates with me tonight after seeing the Chris Brown interview with Larry King:
The True Peace
"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.
This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men."
