The Profit that walked among us.

When I went to visit my grandmother she would always tell me stories of her ancestral tribe. The one that stayed with us the longest was the story of a wise man that walked and talked with the medicine men of her tribe many years ago. As to it authenticity I do not know but to me it is true to my heart.
….There was a time that a man of strange cloths visited with our grandfathers. He was a kind and giving man. You could tell just by looking at him that the Great Spirit walked with him. For those that would sit and listen he told them of many wondrous things. Not only about the physical world but of the land of our ancestors. The Good Red Road. He reminded the people that the Great Spirit was found in all things for he had created the world in his spirit. The wise man taught the people that as you treat the earth and each other that is how you treat the Great Spirit. He even told of thing to come. One such thing, he told of the black cloth people and how they would come and teach of a different way of life. He told them to tell them that he was here and that He was still the one that was foretold to bring peace to all. This was how they were to let the black coats know that he was here. For those that chose to walk with him during his stay he blessed and taught them to love all things to treat each other with love not hate. This was the story that allowed me to accept that all white church teacher were not all fork tongue that there was good men with in the church. But it was also this story that allowed me to keep my duel heritage of faith and to know that the Great Spirit and God was one and the same being. When others question this belief I in turn ask why the Father of all things would not let his presents known to all people. The Great Spirit, Father of all things, God is what saved me and help healed me from the darkness of man.
