Sometimes, Round Two: Day 31 of 365 – Untested Bias!

Sometimes We Reject Verifiable Truth To Protect Our Untested Bias! We live in strange times!

Sometimes Pain Pushes Us Perilously Close To The Precipice… But Grace Pulls Us Back! Pain is a part of life. In fact, sometimes pain is the evidence of life.

Day Two Hundred Thirty-Nine of 365 – The Lakota Code of Ethics: The Which is Sacred!

That which is Sacred! Wouldn’t it be great if determining the Sacred were a simple process – an homogenized process? Wouldn’t it be great if the Sacred carried a common definition?

Day Two Hundred Twenty-Eight of 365 – The Lakota Code of Ethics: Respect All Things!

I am finding that writing commentary on each one of the 20 parts of the Lakota Code of Ethics is more difficult that I first imagined.
