Sept. 1, message from White Elk:

WHITE ELK SAYS:

Be ONE with yourself and all your componants, all the parts you use each day, including the ones you don’t. Take a little time to discover all of them one by one as though this was the first time you sat still long enough to find out who all of them are in the first place.

They do work together as one when you accept ALL the aspects of your behavior and your thought processes, considering them as your friends. You, by default will find ways for all of you to behave as a single, efficient, powerful team. This is how I manage my herd. I have many wives and I consider each one just as special as the other ones. Everyone else are my cousins, not my competitors. We learn how to walk our talk together as a family.

We elk people do pretty well as a unit, don’t you think? So can you, when you stop all this shifting of foot and mind, position and power. Who said one-up-manship is the way it’s supposed to be? Its not that way for most of the male four-leggeds who live here in these woods with me, even the birds and insects, say the elders. Sure, there’s competition at the start of every season to maintain order and leadership positions among the tribe members. But we make peace with each other after establishing who is strong enough to be leading us. We get ourselves in the right place for the whole herd to make the best of it and move on. You humans could do the same, don’t you think? Aho!
