HONOR A FREE SPIRIT Dwelling inside each human being is a free spirit. Cultivate it. Honor the free spirit of others and you honor your own. |
SPIRIT: HONOR THE CREATOR All creatures from the smallest to the largest are created to exist and prosper on the earth in harmonious perfection. The coyote in many Native American beliefs and traditions holds a special place in stories of creation. Honoring creation is honoring the Creator. |
BE CREATIVE The energy of creativity is all around us every day. It’s the learning to create something from nothing. Creating goodness benefits us all. |
EXTREMELY KEEN SENSE The coyote is instinctively alert to danger. To avoid harm and ensure survival coyotes, just as humans, should never allow this keen sense to be dulled. |
|
LIVE A BALANCED LIFE Balance comes from accepting that you are no more nor no less important than others, but that all are equally important. |
BE ALWAYS ADAPTIVE Life is constantly changing. To adapt is to accept change, to welcome it by modifying our behavior. The coyote, despite being hunted by man for centuries, has adapted to avoid danger and prosper. |
|
CARE FOR OTHERS Caring and doing for only one’s self leads to a selfish existence in isolation. Being kind and caring for others leads to unity and a joyous existence. |
HAVE SURVIVAL SKILLS The coyote is the ultimate survivor. Humans can learn a great deal from the coyote, developing true survival skills needed for any situation. |
|
CARE FOR THE EARTH The Earth was here first and was made perfect. If we humans do not actively care for our beautiful planet we will destroy everything that is good for us all. |
CARE FOR THE PACK The coyote has a very strong ability to care for its mate and pups. Our children and our families need the same kind of care. Care to teach, care to nurture, and to love. If there is no care there will be no pack. |
