M...Greetings,<BR/><BR/>Forgiveness is not an act it is a way. My skin lables me as one thing while my heart another. Why would the Allmighty allow the people in my heart to suffer so much? Where was God at Wounded Knee? Where is God today?<BR/><BR/>God is not in a building. God is not in a book. God is in the wind and who can understand the wind. To forgive or not to forgive. Shall I continue on in anger and hatred and allow the oppressor victory? No I will see the evil as it is. When pigs crush their own young to get at their food we sigh alas that is the way of the pig. When the Europeans come with lies, hatred and guns we too must sigh.<BR/><BR/>Yet there is a God though he remains silent. Can anyone deny the superior wisdom of the ancient ways. Give it time, just a little more. Soon they will come to the Children of The Spirit and bow prostrate saying "Help us with your wisdom."<BR/><BR/>In suffering one learns strength and compassion. In defeat one learns humility. I urge you do not forsake the ways of the ancients. Do not do what is wrong. Do not hate. Forgive as much as you can for then you may heal and your enemy put to shame.<BR/><BR/>He who sows in tears shall reap with joy. That is from the Bible. The Bible is the book of the oppressor except he forgot to read it.<BR/><BR/>Fear not, hate not, only trust. You are a beautiful people treasured greatly in the sight of the Allmighty. I lay down my life in service to you and to all the children of God.<BR/><BR/>Soon the wind shall cry and dance with the sea. Soon the lies will be exposed and the evil revealed. The oppressor wants his greed, domination, evil and power. Yet at the same time he wants to believe he is righteous. Do not allow him to justify himself. Forgive and his bow is broken.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>John KanieckiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180718582045666192.post-91224720218141774812008-09-14T08:05:00.000-05:002008-09-14T08:05:00.000-05:00Taino Ti!I am from the first peoples to meet Colum...Taino Ti!<BR/><BR/>I am from the first peoples to meet Columbus and experience the european "conversion and assimilation" in the caribbean islands. To this day many of my people still walk asleep to who they are, brainwashed into believing they no longer exist.<BR/><BR/>I received your url from a friend whom I know in person and with whom I share on line. He learned through you what he could not learn through me.<BR/><BR/>A thread on Native History and Healing was begun in an internet group we belong to. The first 4 paragraphs of your post were the very point I was trying to make. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes it's easier to understand information from one source over another. I am grateful that you were there and he was able to absorb these truths as we see it. And that this information is open for anyone else to absorb as well.<BR/><BR/>I write to you in gratitude for having posted this information and allowed others the understanding of what is necessary for the healing you speak of and that we all desperately need. <BR/><BR/>You provide a great service to our peoples. <BR/><BR/>Nanu Huracanael Two-Rainbows<BR/>Taino NationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180718582045666192.post-11921692552396740522008-06-24T01:16:00.000-05:002008-06-24T01:16:00.000-05:00the wisdom in these words moves me. I wanted to as...the wisdom in these words moves me. I wanted to ask forgivness for the sinns of my forefathers. but that would be in vain. I understand now, I cannot give enough to a man, I can only give to mother. She is the ony one I can relieve now. Without mother I cannot have father. There cannot be one without the other. I will live on and know that I can teach my children that my white ancestors were wrong, and teach them the right way to treat their mother, In the correct treatment of our mother maybe they can meet their father and know him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
