Aboriginal Teachings About Love

     I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Isaac Day, Medicine Man at Six Nations Reserve this week.  He spoke about the seven sacred teachings:  LOVE, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility and truth.  He emphasized that everything revolves around "love", love for self, love for others and love for mother earth. Without love, there can be no relationship.

     "When we get stuck, we stop and listen.  We listen to Mother Earth and if we listen long enough, we will begin to hear."
(Dr. Isaac Day)

Soulmates

Still working on my Book. Hopefully it will be out soon...


"You give someone love, you elevate them; you take away your love (intentional or not) and you might destroy them.  This is surely where karma plays a role."

A Visit to Fatima, Portugal

"I took a trip to Portugal and it changed everything. Everything." (Sunrise at Monsaraz, Bruce Roberts)



I see evidence of love everywhere and this was even more so in Fatima.  I witnessed immeasurable love, faith and devotion by the people who visited the Sanctuary where the Apparitions occurred in 1917.  Men, women, children, young and old, walked a great distance, across the Square, to the Chapel of Apparitions, sometimes on their knees with their significant other holding their hand (as pictured above).  

In my mind this sets the bar quite high when analyzing what love truly is.  It is selfless, supportive, kind and compassionate.  Need I say more about the stories I have shared of my experience on the internet dating site??
