Heart’s Hospitality (The Sacredness of all Species and Sites): It is here that Gratitude for Leading with Breathing and Waiting with Water blossoms into generosity, and what we may also importantly call the Heart’s Hospitality. It is this that calms the mind’s fears and brings love near. 

We have done our Leading with Breathing.

We have done our Waiting with Water.

Now we are learning Hosting the Heart’s Hospitality to All Species and Sites.

We are entering into the experience of living within and from the Heart. In the Untying of the Sacred Bundle, we are developing a heart for the world. This is because we recognize the life within Breath and Water of all species. And if we have a heart for Creation, all species are sacred to us. 

To be the Host of the Heart’s Hospitality is to be at Home with all Creation. At the Heart of all that is honorable. The fire-lit bower. The center of creation’s power.

It is here we realize the Earth is our home; that Leading with Breathing is to us as is a beloved; that Waiting with Water is ancient and honorable. And that all Species are Sacred. Which leads to Hosting the Heart’s Hospitality.

Home is where we are, anywhere in the world. And the sacredness of all species fills us with gratitude and the attitude of La Familia. We are all family. Kinected. The Kin-dom. And from here comes wisdom. And to be wise is to live the Heart’s Hospitality.

If hospitality is given by the host, what does host mean? In biology and medicine, the definition of a host is an organism that harbors another organism inside or near their body in a symbiotic relationship. In other words, a host is a larger organism that harbors a smaller organism.

In theology you often hear of the Heavenly Host; at other times, the Host refers to the sacrament of communion in which the bread (host) is the body of Christ. In medicine, a host refers to the recipient of transplanted tissue or organ from a donor. And of course, 

in computer science a host is a computer that provides client stations with access to files and printers as shared resources to a computer network.

Many of us associate this with being a guest and there being a host who provided a place for the guest to stay, eat, sleep, and restore.

And Hospitality? What else does it mean? A Relationship between the guest and the host, in most traditions. And for us, we are guests only for a little while. Our host, the earth and sky, will go on. And just as we would the human Familia, we live and share and decide and act on behalf of the next seven generations of ages of our host. 

√ The Seventh Generation Principle is based on an ancient and indigenous native American tribe of Iroquois, and or confederacy of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) that stresses: “The decisions we make today should result in a sustainable world seven generations into the future”.

We respect the air we breathe; we respect the water we drink and wash with, and we honor and hold sacred all species upon the earth and in the sky and below the earth and hold them dear as we place our heart at the center of all hospitality.

And the Fourth Wisdom? It is that which breathes with being told; a fire that does not go out but thrives bright with water and breath; and that which binds us together no matter which of the seven directions (north, east, south, west, above, below, within) we may call home at any moment: Sharing Sacred Stories.
