Maybe there are stones underground that inspire clover, strawberries etc... to grow in circles but maybe it's something else altogether different too. One way or the other -- humans are not the only creatures on Earth who need Medicine Wheels.<br />LisaLisa F.

Sometimes mushrooms grow on them. Some circles are semi-circles. They are circles mostly because the grass grows differently there and leaves a mark. Your post made me wonder if these are remnants of circles of stones left behind by our ancestors. Maybe the stones are still there underground? If not, what else could be making these circular designs?<br /><br />MaryRoseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299877776069389696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-3436380879965719432009-11-01T21:42:19.198-05:002009-11-01T21:42:19.198-05:00Lisa this post resonates with so much it can not b...Lisa this post resonates with so much it can not be put into words it has to be felt amazing...I do see the wheel more and more in my daily life you said once it's easy once you allow yourself to bring it back to the wheel....what I treasure about this is that there is no right or wrong it is about that sacred meaning that lesson...i am starting to see how it works in every part of my life where i once thought i couldnt bring it into my work now i believe it has to be a part of it....thank you so much for everything you do this one goes into my book of favorites :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822760763130807297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-8168464952103031172009-11-01T15:27:09.349-05:002009-11-01T15:27:09.349-05:00:)

I like the idea that Medicine Wheel means "it" -- the word is somewhat prettier... LOL<br />Thank you for sharing your story. I like the idea of keeping a BLOG only when it inspires others (people) to share in return. <br /><br />LisaLisa F.

I draw them.. walk in them lol.. talk in them! <br />When i was in Peru with my friend she was getting a tattoo. She decided she wanted something that represented friendship. She found a Native American symbol.. of two diagonal arrows, meaning two tribes.<br />I liked the idea.. but I decided I'd play around with the design..<br />As my friend was in the studio talking to the artist, i sat outside in the sun and doodled on a piece of paper. <br />I recreated the design, I made it into two interconnecting circles.. still two arrows but circular and interconnecting.. <br />I liked this idea better..so I showed it to my friend when she came out. <br />She liked it two and took it into the artist and he later tattooed it on her ankle..<br /><br />I still have so much to learn and understand about the Medicine Wheel.. but I think I've always had a 'built in' understanding or relationship with it beyond words..<br />like you said Lisa... we all do. <br />Yet its not something we can put into words... i like that it doesnt need to be put into words.. it goes beyond that.. <br />Ive had some moments in time where i've experienced growth, Ive sat somewhere in the world and felt IT... whatever IT is lol cos i cant put it into words, maybe its a deep 'knowing' a moment of something beyond happiness..gratitude.... and i should have left a stone circle..<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />EmilyEmilynoreply@blogger.com
