Little Wisdom is a series of Wisdom Teachings, Poems, Short Stories, and Practices intended to introduce traditional integrative wisdom, evoke discerning thought, and remind us of the spirit of the old ways. As I write this work there are elders, deities, ancestors, spirits of Nature, and others who come to share their thoughts and words. As I write Creator and the Spirit of Creation guide my thoughts. Though I am the author I am not the only contributor. I am an indigenous medicine man, a 'shaman', with traditional values. It is through much effort that I have been gifted the ability to bring the teachings shared here into this world.

"Peace is the greatest of goals. In peace all other works come to fullness, without peace even success is left empty"

"You Choose as You are Chosen"

"Enlightenment is not a great thing. It is a humble and powerful thing. To place enlightenment, of any kind, upon a pedestal is to take away its Light. This does not mean one should not honor wisdom for its Way, it means that we must not deny enlightenment's attainment by placing it beyond our reach."

"Enlightenment is the simple in a profound way"

"Every tree is a Buddha; every blade of grass enlightened."

"If what you know does not bring you rest then to shelter in what you know will only ever bring you unrest"
