Today, let us embrace the wisdom of our ancestors as we walk the path of healing and spiritual growth. As Cochise of the Chiricahua Apache reminds us, “You must speak straight so that your words may go as sunlight into our hearts.” Let us speak with honesty and clarity, allowing the light of truth to illuminate our souls.
In our journey towards freedom and healing, we must remember that recovery is a process. Just as the Native ancestors understood the importance of living in harmony with the earth, we too must learn to live in harmony with ourselves and others. As we release the burdens of our past and embrace the lessons of our mistakes, we can move forward with a lighter heart and a clearer mind.
May we find solace in the teachings of our fellowship, knowing that we are not alone in our struggles. Through meditation, prayer, and sharing our stories with one another, we can find the strength to carry on. Let us not be defined by our pain, but instead use it as a source of compassion and understanding for others.
As we continue on this journey of healing, let us remember that true freedom comes from within. By letting go of our past wounds and supporting one another in our recovery, we can find peace and wholeness. Together, as a united fellowship, we can create a space of acceptance, forgiveness, and healing for all.
