On a mountain, in a forest there sat
An Old Woman and her Granddaughter............
They await the Sun Rise.
~
The valley and meadows below them are
Covered by a blanket of mist. Each tree and
Blade of grass is adorned by dew drops,
Like pure diamonds.
Every creature of the Great Earth Mother
Awaits the Sun - the new day- a new life.
~
The old woman,an Elder loved by all
Who know her,draws the girl child under
Her blanket and folds it around her little body.
They share the warmth of an everlasting
Moment of Love.
The Old One speaks softly as the Sun Rises
in celebration of the new day-she speaks for
happiness,health,and abundance for all People.
~
She sprinkles the golden corn pollen
On the sweet Earth as an offering to the
Sacred Keepers and sings her song of Beauty.
~
She looks into the awe filled eyes of the child and says.......
"Where do you begin and I end ?
Where do you and I begin?We are one.
We are the Circle, the Circle is All.
~
My thoughts are inside your thoughts. I live
There now inside you,even when you do not
See me any more. I am with you,
We are Always. Remember..................
~
Your Grandfathers and Grandmothers are inside of you,
They are the blood that flows through you.They speak to you.
Learn to hear them.They pass their wisdom on to help-
through you.
All people have good medicines,and they pass it to the next
generation of their people.
Only that which is pure is kept and passed on.
~
Listen and bring back the values.Honor all
Life,all people,all the Earth and the Sky Nations.
You my child, are all these and more-Remember-
Remember......tell the Children of the People this.........
Remember us around the fires,and when you sit in the
Circle and walk along these Paths-remember-
Tell them for us.........
