Donations welcomed towards The Turtle Lodge http://www.turtlelodge.org THE CALL OF NATURE The Elders say, “What you do to the land and Nature you do to yourself.” Because we have harmed nature, we have harmed ourselves. We have to surrender to the fact that Nature is in control and always has been. We need to stop and reconcile with Mother Earth for all the harm that we have done to her. Our world will not change until we remember the Original Instructions we were given in how to be a human being. At the end of the day, we all have to realize how fragile our lives are, and how dependent we are upon the land for everything. Now, collectively, we must become true stewards of the land and teach our children the truth of that sacred relationship. We can’t live without the Animal, Bird, Fish, and Plant life. Nature is essential for human existence. Now is the time for change. This is the call of Nature: Change or you will not survive.
