Elder's Meditation of the Day April 26,2005 
"If those bad words come, I let them come in one ear
and go out the other. I never let them come out of my
mouth. If a bad word comes in your ear and then comes
out of your mouth, it will go someplace and hurt
somebody. If I did that, that hurt would come back
twice as hard on me." 
--Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA 
What do we do with temptations when they come? What do
we do when we hear gossip? What do we do when we hear
bad things? If we hear these things and pass them on
we will not only hurt the other person, but we will do
harm to ourselves. We must be careful not to hurt
others. Whatever we sow we will simultaneously reap
for ourselves. We must be accountable for our own
actions. 

Great Spirit, today, let no words come from my lips
that would hurt another.
