Elder's Meditation of the Day - March 14
Elder's Meditation of the Day - March 14


"The concept that we are all related is one of the basic philosophies of D/Lakota religion."
--Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA



The Medicine Wheel teaches the four directions of the races, Red people, Yellow people, Black people and White people. These four directions are symbolic of all races. Everything in the circle is connected and related. All races are brothers and sisters. If we are related to each other, then it is important to love one another as brother and sister, aunt and uncle, Fathers and Mothers, Grandfathers and Grandmothers. We need to care for each other and especially respect each other. We need to honor one another's differences whether that difference is the color of our skin or our opinions. We should respect differences.


My Creator, let me feel the connectedness to all things. Let me know the lessons I need to learn today. Above all, let me feel my connectedness to You.

1. Ho Metaquiatson
I sing to the Grandfathers, as the rocks breathe out their joy and sacrifice in the inipi. All things are sacred, all are brothers, and the darkness of the lodge is alive and bright with a thousand stars. Thank you, Wakah Tankah, for the life you have given me, and the treasures of friendship and wisdom that are laid out before me on my path. May I remember, always remember, that we are One, and honor my brother's paths and hold them in the Light of Compassion. Ho Metaquiatson.

4. Good meditation
This was a good one to post.

Several years ago a friend signed me up for this daily meditation. Through time and moving and changing email addresses I had lost touch. I am glad you posted this and I am now signed up again to receive these daily meditations.........I missed them...
