January 18 – Daily Feast
Volume II

Talk to your body, talk to your mind, and give support to your spirit. These are your friends, your life mates, your agility, your harmony, and your joy. Degrade them and they will fail you – not out of revenge but because it is you who keeps the in working order, who supplies them with the strength and well-being they need. Tell your legs and feet and knees how strong and steady they are, and tenderly clean the mind of trash you may have inadvertently thrown there. When something is out of order, call it back into place – and give thanks for the privilege. These are precious things, never talk negatively to them or condemn them – because you will be condemning yourself.

~ The Indian thinks of places and sends his prayers there to win help and blessing. ~
