Ancient One sat in the shade of his tree in front of his cave.
Red People came to him and he said to Red People, "Tell me your vision."
And Red People answered, "The elders have told us to pray in this manner,
and that manner, and it is important that we only pray as we have been
taught for this has been handed down to us by the elders." "Hmmm," said
Ancient One.
Then Black People came to him and he said to Black People, "Tell me
your vision." And Black People answered, "Our mothers have said to go
this building and that building and pray in this manner and that
manner. And our fathers have said to bow in this manner and that
manner when we pray. And it is important that we do only this when we
pray." "Hmmm," said Ancient One.
Then Yellow People came to him and he said to Yellow People, "Tell me
your vision." And Yellow People answered, "Our teachers have told us to sit
in this manner and that manner and to say this thing and that thing when we
pray. And it is important that we do only this when we pray." "Hmmm," said
Ancient One.
Then White People came to him and he said to White People, "Tell me
your vision." And White People answered, "Our Book has told us to pray in
this way and that way and to do this thing and that thing, and it is very
important that we do this when we pray." "Hmmm," said Ancient One.
Then Ancient One spoke to the Earth and said, "Have you given the
people a vision?" And the Earth said, "Yes, a special gift for each one,
but the people were so busy speaking and arguing about which way is right
they could not see the gift I gave each one of them." And Ancient One asked
the same question of Water and Fire and Air and got the same answer. Then
Ancient One asked Animal, and Bird, and Insect, and Tree, and Flower, and
Sky, and Moon, and Sun, and Stars, and all of the other Spirits and each
told him the same.
Ancient One thought this was very sad. He called Red People, Black
People, Yellow People, and White People to him and said to them. "The
ways taught to you by your Elders, and your Mothers and Fathers, and
Teachers, and Books are sacred. It is good that you respect those ways, for
they are the ways of your ancestors. But the ancestors no longer walk on the
Face of the Earth Mother. You have forgotten your own Vision. Your Vision is
right for you but no one else. Now each of you must pray for your own
Vision, and be still enough to see it, so you can follow the way of the
heart. It is a hard way. It is a good way.
We are about to go on a Journey. All Aboard
