SMOKE ON THE WIND

January 22, 2003 Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing 0 min read

Native American Indians have ceremonies for the purification of mind, body, and spirit that date back centuries and still continue today. There are sweat lodge ceremonies that are open to all people who seek harmony and balance with the Creator and all creation. I cannot help but wonder if some of our world leaders wouldn’t benefit from attending one or several, then ask a wise elder to put them up on a mountain for a vision quest, and when they come down that the Sacred Pipe is brought out and smoked. The smoke on the wind is carried to the Creator (God) as our prayer for world peace. God bless you one and all!

What Is Sewing Machine Day? | The History of Ordinary Things
Imagine life without the sewing machine! The designation of a national sewing machine day honors this invention which begs the question, “What is the sewing machine’s history?” In 1790, Thomas Saint, an English inventor, was issued the first patent for a complete machine for canvas & leather work sewing, however there is no evidence that he ...
Celebrating America’s Semiquincentennial | Around The Frame
As we mark America’s Semiquincentennial, know that the planning for it has been long in the works. The planning began in 2016 with the appointment of 33 non-partisan members of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission (America250).

U.S. Savings Bond Program | The History of Ordinary Things
The sale of U.S. government securities dates back over 230 years. In 1776, private citizens bought more than $27 million in government bonds to help finance the Revolution, buying them on trust that they would see their money again. Their confidence proved justified when after the war the new government paid off all its obligations ...
Taking A Charming Romp Through The Italian Countryside | At The Movies With Kasey
A line from William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night has become emblematic of romantic tales: “Journeys end in lovers meeting.” The new romantic comedy You, Me & Tuscany takes this line literally, but also made me question why we are tempted to dock a movie for giving us exactly what we want. Our expectations for a romance ...
This Miserable Winter & How I Survived It | Around The Frame
