Every part of this Earth is sacred to my people.
Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect.
All are holy in the memory and experience of my people.
We know the sap which courses through our veins. We are part of the Earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle, these are our brothers.
The rocky crests, the juices in the meadow, the body heat of the pony and man, all belong to the same family.
The shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors.
Each ghostly reflection in the clear water of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father. The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give to the rivers the kindness you would give any children.
So you must give to the rivers the kindness you would give any brother… Remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its Spirit with all the life it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last
sigh. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life.
Will you teach your children what we have taught our children?
That the Earth is our Mother? What befalls the Earth befalls all the sons of the Earth. This we know: The Earth does not belong to Man, Man belongs to the Earth.
All things are connected like the blood which unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

TGS LifeTravellers does not give any medical advice and encourages every person to seek TRAINED and QUALIFIED medical and health advice. This is true even in the alternative health industry! Nothing on this site should be construed as being medical advice, instruction, or directive. There are still quacks and unqualified people 'acting' as knowledgeable, but are mere charletans after your money.
TGS LifeTravellers intention is to give you information so you may empower yourself and choose for yourself from mainstream medical advice, alternative health advice, or a combination of both. We want to introduce options, knowledge, and products available that the average person seldom gets to learn about.
Testimonials are opinions and experiences of the author and not necessarily those of TGS LifeTravellers. We do not endorse or knowingly promote any pyramid, MLM, network marketing scheme or their products, We consider those to be counterproductive to self-empowerment, with many of their victims becoming 'mind-controlled' through sales hype and greed.
