Are you doing your Work ? - Marcus Wynne

This is a true story. It's not my story, but it was shared with me to pass on. After the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Sitting Bull and his warriors, who refused to come in, were evading the US Army. Along the way, they suffered terribl...e hardships: cold, hunger...His party met a group of white settlers. The father of the settlers gave Sitting Bull a cow to slaughter and eat. Sitting Bull had no money, and the settler would accept nothing from him, as the warriors were haggard, poor and hungry. So Sitting Bull called to the youngest daughter of the settler, and gave to her a medicine pouch he wore around his neck..

And so the warriors ate their fill, and went on their way. And that little girl grew to be a woman, and had children, and passed on that pouch to her children...and when that woman's daughter was sick with cancer, she was visited by a healer. That healer was a white man, a Special Forces medic who had come back from Viet Nam and devoted himself to healing: became a doctor of chiropractic, and then apprenticed with Rolling Thunder, the famous Native American medicine man. And this man, this healer, worked on behalf of this sick woman. She wanted him to have that pouch, but he said it was hers. And so, for a time, she was better. But then it was time for her to pass. And she did.

The pouch went to another daughter. This daughter wanted to sell the pouch, as it was worth a great deal of money. But then she thought about it, and contacted the healer, and asked that he take it, and return it to the Lakota elders. So he took it, and meditated on when it was right to return it, and how best to do that.

That healer was persecuted for healing, arrested, put in prison for "practicing medicine without a license." His crime? Putting medical oxygen in a bath. His real crime? Too many of his patients got well.

But then he was released from prison. And, as he often did, he went to Burning Man.

I met him there.

He did some healing work on me, and I facilitated some for him, and for his friend. And he told me this story.

And when I journeyed on it, I gifted him a knife to keep with him when he went to return Sitting Bull's pouch.

So it's interesting how all the threads come together. And what kind of Work we're called to do.

Lots to be done.
