The Little Scroll

~~~~~~~~~~~

We all have vanity, this is also referred to as pride in ones self. We want to look our best to others when they come to us or when we go out among the humans. We concern ourselves with does our hair look nice, is the part straight, are there any wild ends sticking out, is it clean, shiny. The covering of our bodies is it too tight, too loose, does the color match, are we color coordinated, even the covering of our feet has to blend. The animal people, they groom one another, they groom themselves, they wish to be clean with their hair, their feathers all neat even the fish of the waters, the birds of the air groom and clean but the human creatures are not just interested in cleanliness and appearance, their interest is of vanity, will this impress someone or will this make people look and admire. The animal people live with what they were born with, their fur, their feathers, their fins from the smallest little beetle to the largest of Grandfathers creations, comes into this world and goes out of this world with the same appearance.

There are a lot of times that we try to impress those around us with our outward appearance but when we cross over and go to the Heavenly Village we sit in the Heavenly Lodge before the Council, the Holy Men, the Medicine Men, Great Warriors and Grandfather the Great Spirit. We sit before them naked, no bright colors, no fancy coverings for our bodies. The only thing we take before the Council, to maybe attempt to impress the Council which if you haven't impressed them by now it's too late. We take our Soul and our Spirit as we have no flesh, we have no reason to cover, we are a Spirit, naked with nothing but our Soul and our Spirit, our inner Spirit to offer up. Hopefully we have caused more sweet tears to flow while we were on Mother Earth, Turtle Island then we did salt tears. The red ink of our Spirit is written on the pages of honesty of our life. We have written in the red ink of our Spirit all the good things and also since it is honesty also the not so good things. We go before the Council maybe hoping that we have more pages of good red ink then we have not so good and since we kneel before the sacred oak fire, smell the aroma of the smoke, we inhale the scent of the sage that is burning in Council. We sit before the Council naked, on our knees, we reach out our hand with the little scroll presented to Grandfather and the Council for review.

Now even though they do know and they are aware of what we have done while we are on our stay on Mother Earth, Turtle Island, we present the little scroll, the pages of our memory, the pages of our life written in the red ink of truth and honesty. Hopefully that red ink shows more sweet tears on those pages then salt stains. Back on Turtle Island, Mother Earth we are attempting to impress someone to maybe get a job, maybe find an Earthly abode, maybe many reasons but if we were turned wrong side out, inside out which is the right side not the wrong side out, if we were turned inside out we are the same color. If someone black, brown, white, yellow, red, so we cannot impress anyone here on Mother Earth, no more then we can impress the Council in the Heavenly Lodge with the color of our skin, the color of our eyes, our hair, we are inside out, we are naked, we are naked of all material things, we are transparent except for that good we have done. We walk down the street, walk down the path of life and other people look at us and say there goes a good person, a good human, not hey, there goes a red shirt, there go some black moccasins. Like the red chief sits inside his Earthly abode with all the victories and accomplishments of his warfare is like the white chief, the chief of peace outwardly on his body inside his abode, the drawings on the exterior of his teepee, his wigwam, his hogan, you can readily see his accomplishments. The old chief of whether it be the village, the tribe, the nation, the old chief going into the lodge you can see, you can sit among all that he has brought upon and to his people but if you take the chief of the nation, the red chief, the white chief, the everyday scout, warrior, maiden, older woman, elder and put them before the Council in their nakedness all they have to present to all of those wise ones that have gone before us is the little scroll. The little scroll written in the red ink of our Spirit on the pages of our honesty.

How big is your scroll, how much is there to impress the Council. We do not do things on Earth, on Turtle Island to impress the Council and Grandfather, we do as we are led to do and if it makes a good note upon the little scroll, the pages of our truth, the pages of our honesty, the little scroll will be large, many pages, much red ink. Feel towards a fellow human, feel towards a creation of Grandfather, the wolf, the panther, the eagle, the bear, the buffalo, the fish, the rocks, the grass, the trees, the mountains, all creations of Grandfather, all creations of the Heavens. How you have treated all of these creations while you were a human with flesh and bone living on Earth in your abode with sticks and stones, is all that you have to go with your nakedness as you stand or kneel before the Council. The people, your fellow humans should judge you as they feel coming from you, coming forth from your inward being not from the surface, not from the covering of your head, your body, your feet, not the color of your eyes, your hair, your skin but from what is inside. When they see you they do not see the red shirt, the red dress covering your body, your Earthly Temple, they see the red ink of your Spirit. When you speak with your tongue they do not hear just the words that are spoken, they taste the word as sweet or sour, speak with a sweet voice, glow with bright red ink and while you are within your Earthly Temple, your flesh, your eyes, your hair, your skin irregardless of what color it is let it glow with the Spirit of the Heavens, the Spirit of goodness, good Soul, sweet tears. What have you done today to make another creature happy, to make them smile, to make the little creature wag his tail, to make the grizzly raise his paw as he is standing on two legs upright before you telling you have a good trip down the path. Have you felt the water, have you felt the breeze upon your skin, your flesh, your fur, the covering of your body not the material covering but the outward covering of our Earthly Temple.

When you lay down your Earthly Temple, when it comes time to rest your Soul and Spirit, rest your mind, your heart, all parts of your Earthly Temple, your body also put to rest your conscience, your Soul, your Spirit, sweet dreams for you wake up refreshed for a new day. You go out among the humans and the other creations of Grandfather and write more pages, more pages of truth and honesty with red ink to cause as much sweet tears to flow with our fellow man, fellow mankind as possible and when you go before the Council in the Heavenly Village, when you cross over or if you just go up for a visit with Grandfather and the Council, the ones that have gone before us, the Wise Ones, the Holy Ones, you go up permanently or you go up for a visit. They can welcome you and they will know as you stand there before them naked with your little scroll, they already know what it contains, sweet tear stains, words of honesty, truthfulness, sincerity written in the red ink of the Spirit.

Stand before the Council, kneel before the Council as you came into this world as a human, you go out as a Spirit, nothing lost everything gained, peace of mind, happiness, peace of

Soul, peace of Spirit. You have done the best that you knew how, the best you could, it's all written in red. Red ink of truth, justice, honesty on that
