Earth medicine
Coyote Medicine is one of the best books I have ever read, and I have read a lot books in my life. At first I wasn't sure if I would make it to the end of the book. I am not one for autobiographies and the first few pages were a bit dry, but I pushed though the first half of the first chapter. After that I realized this was not going to be a typical autobiography. I have always been interested in the Native American ways. Their ways are a mystery to a person who was raised in a typical Anglo-Saxon, Christian home. Although they were ousted from their land because of their beliefs as I read the book I came to realize that the two religions are actually more alike than they are different. From our angels to their spirits and from group prayer in church to group prayer in the lodges, the similarities go on, you just have to be willing to see them. I love the way they respect mother earth, plants and animals. As Christians and westerners, we sometimes lose touch wit
Maybe not as in practical jokes like Coyote but more like joking with people, putting my own self out there to make people laugh. Doing the same things the same way day in and day out just absolutely drives me nuts! Now doing what I do, housework, bills, kids, it tends to get tedious and monotonous. 's research and the force he exerted on the medical world to change. Don't be to eager to know all there is to know, you may not like what you learn. Be daring enough to bend the rules from time to time, especially if it's for the greater good. So I try to mix it up a bit whenever and wherever I can, it makes life a little easier to live. As I think back on the things he has changed in the medical field I wonder just how much he has influenced my life without my knowledge. h the very same ground from which we where created. He lets others know that just because it has been done a certain way for so long doesn't make it right or better than any other way. Like Coyote I am not the most attractive animal, the fastest animal, or the smartest animal, but I have learned over the years that if I can make people laugh that I may have made their day just a little bit better. Mehl-Medrona is correct to compare himself to such an animal. Choose your words and colleagues very carefully for they may come back to haunt you.
