Last night I entered the lodge to seek the wisdom of the Ancient Ones.

I sent up the Sacred Smoke to Creator and asked that I be allowed to speak with them.

I spoke with them and learned much.

The Spirits of many of my Brothers and Sisters with which I share Earth Mother came to sit with me.

They each gave me their words and I listened to each one to seek their lesson.

I left the lodge this morning with much to think on.

Creator bless each of you with his guiding touch and lead you in your journey.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
