“I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more.” -Chief Joseph, NEZ PERCE
“We are as sick as our secrets. Our ego takes over control of our lives and when that happens our minds get very sick. Then we hurt people and our minds will always justify our actions. Our minds will give us rationalization and excuses that we are justified in doing what we are doing. I will be mindful of practicing ‘we’ today by investing in our common welfare: I’ll keep what I have by giving it away to another addict. In Native and Fellowship teachings, the practical and spiritual application of ‘we’ is essential for our well-being and spiritual awakening. By connecting through our shared experiences as addicts and opening our hearts to each other, we can find healing and support in our journey towards recovery and personal growth.”
