Debwewin – Truth

Truth is the heart of Creation, with love as its companion. All Creation stories are true.

Every being in Creation is on a journey toward truth and purpose; there are many paths

to hearing the knowledge of our hearts and spirits. To understand what is true, we must

listen to the water, trees, plants, birds, animals, sun, moon, stars, and each other.

Use your senses to feel the natural world around you. Think about the life journey of the

water, rocks, trees, plants, birds, or the stars. What is truth to them? What does your

heart tell you today?
