Zaagidowin — Love

Love is feeling the sacredness of life. Everything we need to live and thrive is provided

through the Creator’s generosity and unconditional love. By loving ourselves and others

we recognize that we are a reflection of Creation. From this center of unconditional love,

we embrace our relationship with all of Creation — the earth, water, trees, animals,

plants, and human beings.

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 love to them? How is Creation

loving you today?
