The Sacred Wheel
Within this encompassing circle lies the secret of existence, a medicine wheel that doesn't just guide but defines our journey. North, south, east, and west - cardinal points marking not just directions but profound stages of life's odyssey.
The center, the axis, the fulcrum of it all, where diverse realms converge. In each direction, a distinct world unfurls, a tapestry of medicines, spirits, and creatures finding their rightful place. It's a symphony, a choreography of existence within this sacred hoop.
This wheel mirrors more than just life's stages, it echoes a covenant, a pact with the universe itself. Every life form, every entity, holds a crucial role, a responsibility to preserve the sanctity of this interconnectedness.
Yet, in our stewardship, we falter. When one neglects their part, the harmony wavers, the very hoop of existence trembles under the weight of imbalance and discord.
Interbeing, interdependence - our destinies intricately woven. But we, the custodians, often fail in our duty. Not all are given the means to flourish, to contribute their unique essence to life's grand ensemble.
When every being thrives in its purpose, the balance restores itself, rejuvenating the integrity of the hoop. Let us then strive to honor our place, nurturing and supporting, so this sacred hoop remains unbroken, and the symphony of existence reverberates in unified harmony.
