Our Village

I have just come from the Ceremonial Lodge. I entered there last night to speak with the Ancient Ones.

I fasted for four days. I drank the Cleansing Brew to purge myself so I could enter there clean and unpolluted.

I Smudged myself to clean my skin and my mind.

I crossed into the Ancestor Lands and traveled to the center of the Spiral of Life. I was not allowed to enter the glow of that place, but, I could speak with those that live there.

I spoke of the trials and sicknesses we are enduring. 

I asked for strength for each one here in our village to bear the burdens we must endure.

I asked for healing for the ill ones. I asked for courage for those in need of it.

Creator spoke and said He has heard my cries to him.

This is what I spoke across the barrier separating me from the Light....

May our village be a strong one that we may endure against anything that would harm any of us.

I am finished. I have no more words to speak.

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.
