The GreenplanetFM Podcast with Tim Lynch

'When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money.'~ Cree Indian saying...The Traditional Native American lifestyle is a life of prayer to all of creation.  Prayer is so deeply woven into every aspect of life that there is a prayer for every action, on waking and greeting the morning sun, on eating and thanking all the beings that have made that meal possible. Each moment can be made sacred when gratitude is shown for the gifts of this life.  This is most beautifully summed up in the phrase Mitakuye Oyasin, Lakota for 'All my relations.'  When a prayer is made it is followed by these words that acknowledge our interconnectedness to all life on this planet.The Web of Life is something that we are part of and this is celebrated in all Native Traditions.  Celebration and Gratitude being at the core of Native American Spirituality.And this gratitude, ritual and otherwise is something that we sometimes forget in our consumer societies so
