An Abenaki Legend

The Great Spirit, in a time not known to us looked about and saw nothing. No colors, no beauty. Time was silent in darkness. There was no sound. Nothing could be seen or felt. The Great Spirit decided to fill this space with light and life.

From his great power he commanded the sparks of creation. He ordered Tôlba, the Great Turtle to come from the waters and become the land. The Great Spirit molded the mountains and the valleys on turtle’s back. He put white clouds into the blue skies. He was very happy.He said, “Everything is ready now. I will fill this place with the happy movement of life.”He thought and thought about what kind of creatures he would make.

Where would they live? What would they do? What would their purpose be? He wanted a perfect plan. He thought so hard that he became very tired and fell asleep.

His sleep was filled with dreams of his creation. He saw strange things in his dream. He saw animals crawling on four legs, some on two. Some creatures flew with wings, some swam with fins. There were plants of all colors, covering the ground everywhere. Insects buzzed around, dogs barked, birds sang, and human beings called to each other. Everything seemed out of place. The Great Spirit thought he was having a bad dream. He thought, nothing could be this imperfect.

When the Great Spirit awakened, he saw a beaver nibbling on a branch. He realized the world of his dream became his creation. Everything he dreamed about came true. When he saw the beaver make his home, and a dam to provide a pond for his family to swim in, he then knew every thing has it’s place, and purpose in the time to come.

It has been told among our people from generation to generation. We must not question our dreams. They are our creation.

If we are to know peace
we must look within ourselves.

In order to do this, we must learn
to be still. We must quiet the mind.
We must learn to meditate.

Meditation helps us locate and find
the center that is within ourselves.
The center is where the Great One resides.

When we start to look for peace, we need
to realize where it is within ourselves. When
we experience conflict we need to pause for
a moment and ask the Power within ourselves,
“How do you want me to handle this? What
would you suggest I do in this situation?”

By asking the Higher Power
for help we find peace.

The decision by the European Community to withdraw the crucifix from the classrooms has ingnited a fire that is going to burn opinions for a long time here in the “Old Continent”.

In Italy the decision has had the effect of a powerful earthquake and that is all the newspapers and the media are talking about for the last few days.

Jesus on the Holy Cross, is not only a religious symbol here, but it is part of the tradition of the Country and its heritage both cultural and historical. People from every  political and religious belief have protested strongly against the decision and even the premier Silvio Berlusconi has appeared on television reassuring the Country that “There is no way that we are going to accept that decision and the Crucifix will remain in the classrooms and public buildings “

Italy is lately suffering an outspring of  “Nationalism” due to the increasing number of refugees trying to come here from neighbour African and Muslim Countries. The Racial tension is high and this unpopular decision by the  European Community throws gasoline on a fire that is far from being estinghuished.

Personally I believe that the decision was the biggest mistake the Community has ever made, because it has the negative effect of making Europeans feeling far from the decisions made in Strasbourg  by politician that have  been so far very unknown and unpopular.
