O'siyo Oginalii Tsilugi - Hello friends - Welcome - to My first blog. A place to share. |
Dream Catchers An ancient Chippewa tradition The dream net has been made For many generations Where spirit dreams have played. Hung above the cradle board, Or in the lodge up high, The dream net catches bad dreams, While the good dreams slip on by. Bad dreams become entangled Among the sinew thread. Good dreams slip through the center hole, While you dream upon your bed. This is an ancient legend, Since dreams will never cease, Hang this dream net above your bed, Dream on, an be at peace. |
Wow! you really posted a really iffey prompt for me. I am a self proclaimed animal lover, but I am not vegetarian either. Let me see if I can explain my position: I have been thinking about this all night, If I had the opportunity to run with the bulls at the Fiesta would I do it. I need to answer No. I know what their fate is and I just couldn't' get excited over that. Even though I understand that the meat is given out amongst the poor, and that is a good thing. If it truly is. My dad was an advocate of bull fights, he tried to get me to believe the very same thing. I owned a bull at one time. I got him as a drop calf. After bottle feeding him and, of course naming him Charlie, My husband gave me a choice when he old enough and big enough. I could pay to have him butchered or sell him knowing that his fate would be same. I sold him. I just couldn't imagine eating him. He used to follow me everywhere even into the house, only to be chased out again by a broom. So I guess my answer is no, I wouldn't participate. I guess that my heart is too big and too weak. |
