Growing up and even now into my Adulthood, I always seemed to trip over the least little thing or what seemed to be nothing there but my own feet... lol
I often seen other people in my life do the same thing and felt the same kind of embarrassment they felt at that time.
At a pow-wow gathering, I met this 90 plus young Elder whom was such a delight to talk to over multi subjects of life.
As we were sitting together chatting, a young man went past us and seemed to just trip over absolutely nothing. He turned and looked at us and turned beet red, and walked on past. This led us into that subject.. I told him I had that same exact problem since early childhood to present. He preceded to lightly chuckle and began to tell me a story..
Long ago when the Earth was very young, there was so many trees, plants. rocks and critters of all kinds. You think the Earth is crowded now! There was things and holes (where the Earth was shifting all the time), a person was tripping and snagging their feet on just about anything at anytime!
Well.. as time marched on and Ancestors came and went to present day.. even though those things then are not visible now, does not mean they are not still there from the beginning... so when a person trips today, and nothing can be seen, the explanation is simple.. that person is tripping over that original stone, critter or plant or running into a tree that was there long ago!
SIMPLE.... LOL
