Let’s shake off 2020 and to new beginnings.

Covid is still an issue, and well the US is currently still divided. Let us hope we can fix the problems and mend bridges between friends and family that we have burned because of heated politics.

Rather than talk about problems, talk about things in common, things you care about, things that you are concerned about, the positives and things that you are thankful for. And mostly, talk to yourself and know yourself. This new year is also for you too.

As Robert E Lee (the past confederate US soldier And US patriot) once said: “ Madam, don't bring up your sons to detest the United States government. Recollect that we form one country now. Abandon all these local animosities, and make your sons Americans.”

And another quote:
“The True Peace. The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this.

The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations.

But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men."
- Black Elk, Oglala Sioux and Spiritual Leader (1863 - 1950)
