Native American Wisdom:
Nature is Life's Greatest Teacher
"Lots of people hardly ever feel real soil under
their feet, see plants grow except in flower pots,
or get far enough beyond the street light to catch
the enchantment of a night sky studded with stars.
When people live far from scenes of the Great Spirit's
making, it's easy for them to forget His laws."
--Tatanga Mani (Walking Buffalo), STONEY
Nature is life's greatest teacher. The natural laws are
hidden in nature. Hidden are solutions to everyday problems
such as conflict resolution, how to forgive, lessons about
differences, how to manage organizations, how to think.
Hidden are feelings. You can look at something and you will
feel it. At night, have you ever looked at the sky when
there are no clouds? As you look at all the stars, your
heart will become very joyful. You will walk away feeling
joyful and peaceful. We need to visit nature so we can see
and feel these things.
