The Story of Tobacco

TThe Creator noticed that man kept bringing disease to himself in spite of the great beauty of Creation that surrounded him. The Creator would call upon the plant kingdom every time a new disease began to show itself in tissue. But, in his orneriness, man kept finding new pestilences to bring to himself.

Creator decided to create one plant which would heal all the diseases of man. For this purpose, he sent the tobacco plant, which grew in such beauty, that it reflected the potential of man. When he was in his meanest, deepest misery, he could still grow and unfold, one leaf at a time, stretching to the Sun in completeness. The tobacco plant brought forward the lesson that for man to be whole, he must always remain in the Sun.

The tobacco plant grows with each leaf separating out, growing upward, one at a time, unwinding from its tightly wrapped bud. Each leaf is a complete picture of beauty, as it stretches toward the Grandmother Sun.

The Tobacco speaks to man in each of earth's seasons. In the spring, it shows itself in light green colors; in summer, it becomes a dark brown the color and richness of the earth. Then, in the time of fall and winter - in the seasons of the Bear and the Buffalo, it turns the color of gold.

It shows mankind in it's complete form of wholeness that it is most potent when you think it is least. When tobacco is smoked, it moves the voice of wholeness through the smoke in the pipe.
