You are Not Alone... if You Ask.. the Elk

♦You do not have to do everything alone, help is out there waiting for you♦ if you just ask for it♦ The Gift of the Elk♦ We are a community♦ We are one in this together♦ If you have been engaged in a competitive manner, the Elk offers rather to strive to work within the group in order to reach a common goal♦

Often, we believe that we are alone in the problem and often we are correct. That's because the solution is in the community, those that surround us.  Be conscious that you may be closing yourself off to aid. Allow your energy to be open to receive. You may be pleasantly surprised that you are supported and that there are answers.

There is something to be said for community, getting along, doing the right thing and moving towards a common goal; 'for the good of all.'  Especially when we feel that we have been wronged. Pitch in to lift someone up rather than slamming them further into the ground. The awareness is that even when you think or perceive that you know all the circumstances, you don't. We all have our reasons for doing everything. With a conscious awareness, let's open up our visual awareness to see the many possibilities that are available! Let's find a sunset that we can all enjoy!
A bit off topic.... but while I was writing this I remember back to when I was a young girl. I knew that there was often more to the story than what people wanted me to believe. Two of my best friends were girls that had a difficult time finding friends. One had had lice and the other was poor. Another friend that I met on along the way was black. She lived between my house and a girlfriends home. I would stop on the way home and we would play for a bit each day. I chose to see more. There had to be a story behind the stories. I know that this has led me to who I am today. I do look to see the story behind the one that people want to tell. This is the flip side. If you see someone who is acting out, my answer would be that 100% of the time, there is a story. Strive to hear the story that is being told rather than the story that someone wants you to believe. This serves the community in a manner that is building rather than destroying. 

Back to the Elk....Rewards♦

Sometimes all it takes is the next step. The Elk brings courage, confidence and empowerment today in moving you forward and achieving your goals♦

♦You are Beautiful♦ have an incredible day, with peace in your heart, love in your words and radiance in your smile, Namaste♦

Black Elk, Oglala Lakota♦♦"You may have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle. That is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.... The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again, to where they were. The life of a man is a circle, from childhood to childhood. And so it is in everything, where power moves...."
