Birthing Spirit

1450kms later, my body has arrived in Adelaide, but I think my spirit is still halfway between Sydney and Adelaide trying to catch up. I took 2 days to drive it, which is a bit less than the 2 months and 3 days it took to walk that far! I heard/read once that you shouldn’t travel further than you can walk in a day (Native American Indian Wisdom) and I did a quick search on the web and couldn’t find any reference to it, but I did find these nice Quotes and I liked this one:

The True Peace

The first peace, which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people
when they realize their relationship,
their oneness, with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center
of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit),
and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.
This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this.
The second peace is that which is made between two individuals,
and the third is that which is made between two nations.
But above all you should understand that there can never
be peace between nations until there is known that true peace,
which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.
