| Elder's Meditation of the Day July 24 |
| "Life is like a path...and we all have to walk the
path... As we walk...we'll find experiences like
little scraps of paper in front of us along the way.
We must pick up those pieces of scrap paper and
put them in our pocket... Then, one day, we will
have enough scraps of papers to put together and
see what they say... Read the information and
take it to heart."

| The Creator designed us to learn by trial and
error. The path of life we walk is very wide.
Everything on the path is sacred - what we do
right is sacred - but our mistakes are also sacred.
This is the Creator's way of teaching spiritual
people. To criticize ourselves when we make
mistakes is not part of the spiritual path. To
criticize mistakes is not the Indian way. To learn
from our mistakes is the Indian way. The definition
of a spiritual person is someone who makes
30-50 mistakes each day and talks to the Creator
after each one to see what to do next time. This
is the way of the Warrior.

Today let me
see my mistakes
as a positive
process. Let me
learn the aha's
of life...
Awaken my
awareness so I
can see the
great learning
that You, my
Creator, have
designed for my
life.
