When you rise in the morning, give thanks to the light, for your life, for your strength.

Ive walked the land of the ancient ones. Long since gone Generations. I can still feel their laughter ... their pain. I can still hear their songs. Hear their drums beating against a darkened sky. I can see them dancing. I can still see their horses painted for war. Still see Mothers and wives with tears in their eyes. But pride in their hearts. I can hear their chants ... their prayers. Still the memories and pride run deep in my own heart and soul as it did. The people...Medicine and Holy men and women ... the Chiefs. This is my heritage- Native American. Spirit of yesterday- Is the spirit of tommorow.

Lakota Prayer
Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery,
teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun.

Lakota Instructions for Living

Friend do it this way – that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can
with both your heart and mind.

And if you do it that way,
the Power Of The Universe
will come to your assistance,
if your heart and mind are in Unity.

When one sits in the Hoop Of The People,
one must be responsible because
All of Creation is related.
And the hurt of one is the hurt of all.
And the honor of one is the honor of all.
And whatever we do affects everything in the universe.

If you do it that way – that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One – whatever you ask for,
that’s the Way It’s Going To Be.

From a lunar eclipse to a partial solar eclipse to supermoons, 2021 has been a spectacular year for lunar events. But this month marks the year's final supermoon, with the full "strawberry" moon illuminating the night sky next week.

The June full moon is often called the strawberry moon, named by Native American tribes for the strawberries harvested in parts of North America during this time of year, according to the Farmer's Almanac. Unfortunately, the moon's color won't match its name.

The strawberry moon typically marks the last full moon of spring or the first of summer. It has also been called the blooming moon, green corn moon, hoer moon, birth moon, egg laying moon and hatching moon, honey moon and mead moon, The Farmer's Almanac said. The phrase "honeymoon" may be tied to this full moon, possibly due to the tradition of marrying in June or because the "honey moon" is the "sweetest" moon of the year.

The full moon will reach peak illumination on Thursday, June 24, at 2:40 p.m. ET, but won't be visible until it rises above the horizon later that evening. It will appear full for about three days surrounding this time, from about Wednesday morning through Saturday morning.
