prayer
to the spirits of the world, to life and the Great Spirit that
encompasses
the four directions and everything that is. The Medicine Wheel is a
symbol
that incorporates the four directions. Its spokes point east, south,
west,
and north. The four quarters are colored red, yellow, black, and white
representing the races of man, the seasons, and the stages of life from
childhood to old age. The circle is the earth, the moon and the
planets.
It is the circle of life and all creation.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.interluderetreat.com/meditate/4direct.htm"><B>The simplicity of the symbol is profound. It is four
directions.
One could divide the world into 8 points of a compass, 360 degrees, or
an infinite number of directions, but four is perfect. We humans KNOW
four
directions. We see forward, but not back, and facing forward we have
two
sides. Four directions are part of our biology and our psychology. They
are archetypes of the highest order. As such they are powerful carriers
of  symbolic meaning.</B></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9E2B12EC-FB4A-4820-B337-5483D5AB8A8E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
