A tribute to the Turkey... Appreciation for its noble sacrifice....  | | We, here in the United States, celebrated Thanksgiving not too long ago and for the majority of us, the cornerstone of the festivities was a large bird, the Thanksgiving Turkey.
Now, if you are like me, there is a big disconnect between the plastic wrapped plucked frozen bird that is thawed out and cooked or the sliced turkey that we see in the store and the bird that walks and perhaps flies a little... And consequently we are perhaps not appreciating the sacrifice that the turkey has made to join our festivities...
In many Native American tribes, there is the belief that if an animal is killed for food, it sacrificed its life for the wellbeing of the humans and others... and should be respected and appreciated, thanked, and respected for its noble sacrifice... Yet we perhaps bless the food often without remembering what we are eating and its gifts to us...
Because of this, I thought this was a neat thing to share... There are only live turkeys walking freely in a yard here. This is far from being a blood and guts presentation so enjoy >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHX9gKZcmag&feature=channel I did... Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Be thankful to all that nourishes you every day as well as being thankful to the Creator for giving it to you!
