you teach me
on this earth
you teach me
with this sky
you teach me
to face the
East
when the sun
rises
and eagle
is flying
you teach me
to pray
and sing
and drum
and dance
And Love.
you teach me
to turn
towards the
South
facing coyote
and the southern
hemisphere
then turn again
to the
West
and face bear
the Sacred Black Hills
and the wild Western
Coastlines
And one more
time
i turn towards
the North
Standing With Buffalo
and facing
All
Our
Ancestors
And I Give Thanks,
We Give Thanks.
Our Ancestors
are praying
for us, and with us
they are
singing for us,
and with us
they are
drumming and dancing
for us, and with us
And they are
radiating Love
with us, and through us
We Are Blessed
With
Each Breath
And with
Honor
Reverence
+ Respect
we heal
we grow
we love.
We
Are
The
Seeds.
