Geronimo was a brilliant man. He was also a very spiritual man. HIs story is worth knowing.
I was inspired as I read his words. The first sentence took a lot of ‘sitting with’. Just what is ‘living well’ in this day and age? More and more for me it has become just quietly living my spirituality, living my process — wanting to do what is right — listening to that gyroscope inside myself that links me to all knowing. When I feel that inner clarity, I know what right living is.
When I know that ‘God is listening to me’, and I know that ‘the sun, the darkness, the winds are listening to what I now say’. I pray to speak the wisdom of truth as I know it.
While living I want to live well. I know I have to die sometime, but if the heavens were to fall on me, I want to do what is right. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all children of the one God. God is listening to me. The sun, the darkness, the winds, are listening to what we now say.
