an ELDER'S teaching

In November of 2007 Pam Tinker and I had the privilege of receiving  and hosting Rainbow Eagle and his wife to Wolf Run for a week of teaching. The Muskogee (Creek) Elder, Bear Heart was to be featured but was dying in his home. He sent Rainbow Eagle, an Okla-Choctaw man whom Bear Heart had taught and passed on the ancient responsibility of being the Keeper of the Peace Shield.

Rainbow Eagle held all of us captive unfolding many things about these prophecies, and unique to his scholarship he showed us the connections of Christian history and theology to these indigenous teachings, and the prophecies in anticipation of the new cycles approaching in 2012. There were many things shared, and many insights enlightened our understandings. New Medicines were exchanged. Understanding relationships broadened the discussions, and through it all I took copious notes, and buried a lot within my heart the way Mary hid the prophetic words of the angels who spoke of her son to come in the world as a Messiah.

One of the simple things he said I will share.  "Elders say, 'learn to say thank you. Learn from all experiences, develop respect for all Life."

It is so simple these words, the teaching.
