State of Affairs

The other night.....

While standing in the middle of a large spring colored meadow, a Spirit descended down from the place above. Upon arrival the Spirit called all the Indians to this place for a meeting and feast.

Women and children, husbands and wives, grandfathers and grandmothers, and all their cousins, aunts and uncles came to this place to see what the Spirit wanted.

Once assembled and the festivities well on their way the Spirit began to ask questions and give direction.

All of you who drank too much too many times, stand up.
Many people stood up.

All of you who have loved ones that drink too much too often, stand up.
Many people stood up.

All of you who have buried a family member because of too much to drink, stand up.
Many people stood up.

All of you who have experienced great sorrow because of too much to drink, stand up.
Many people stood up.

All of you who have caused others to suffer because of too much to drink, stand up.
Many people stood up.

All of you standing up, turn and look at the others standing.

The entire tribe looked at one another as the Great Spirit ascended to where he had come from.
