Protocol for the Trail of Life
1. When you wake up in the morning, you should face the rising sun and give thanks to the Creator for all of the blessings he has given you. Then you should face the four directions and acknowledge the Creator for all things provided by Mother Earth that you share in harmony with all that share Mother Earth's body (people, animals, trees, rivers, mountains, rocks, etc.).
2. As you prepare for the days journey on the Trail of Life, you must acknowledge that all things have their place around you and that a purpose in life is shared by all.
