Floyd Red Crow - The Time of Renewal

I wanted to share this quote by Floyd Red Crow as it relates to everything going on in the world right now.

"Everything is spiritual. Everything has a spirit. Everything… everything was brought here by the Creator – the one Creator.

Some people call Him “God,”

some people call Him “Buddha,”

some people call Him “Allah,”

some people call Him other names.

We call Him “Tunkashila”… “Grandfather.”

We’re here on earth… only a few winters. Then, we go to the Spirit World. The Spirit World is more real than most of us believe. The Spirit World is everything.

Over 95% of our body is water. And, in order to stay healthy, you’ve got to drink good water. When the European first came here, Columbus, we could drink out of any river. If the Europeans had lived the Indian way when they came, we would still be drinking out of rivers, because Water is sacred. The Air is sacred.

Our DNA is made of the same DNA as the tree. The tree breathes what we exhale. When the tree exhales, we need what the tree exhales. So, we have a common destiny with the tree. We are all from the earth. And when earth, water and the atmosphere is corrupted, then it will create its own reaction. Our Mother is reacting.

In the Hopi prophecy they say the storms and floods will become greater. To me, it’s not a negative thing to know that there will be great changes. It’s not negative, it’s evolution. When you look at it as evolution, it’s time. Nothing stays the same.

You should treat all things as Spirit – realize that we are ONE Family. It’s never something like “the End.” It’s like Life – there is no end to Life.”

~ Floyd “Red Crow” Westerman
