"According to Native American tradition, walking the Red Road is a metaphor for living within the Creator’s rules — a life of truth, friendship, respect, spirituality, and humanitarianism. For centuries, Native American elders, parents, teachers, and spiritual leaders have handed down their wisdom and values from generation to generation, leading others down the path of self-discovery and enlightenment." ~ Terri Jean (Author of) 365 Days of Walking the Red Road: The Native American Path to Leading a Spiritual Life Every Day (Religion and Spirituality)
This is a poem that I wrote about walking the Red Road…
On The Red Road
Sometimes though I may not understand why things turn out the way they do
I always know Creator, that you have your reasons and that my life is guided by you
I will never doubt and I promise to always listen to what you’re telling me
I will always follow my heart for I know that is where you are, and I believe
I have been so blessed by you I know , My faith in you is undying
Even through my struggles, I knew , even when I was crying
I embrace your love always , Your love is so amazing to me
I am in awe each day by the miracle of your love and your peace
In me you have a loyal servant , and I will do all that I can do
To spread the love, the joy, the peace and harmony of you
On the Red Road ,with love in my heart, I will walk through my journey
With respect to all of your creations, my heart filled with your beauty
