Cast a stone from the water’s edge Look at your reflection Play a tune from long ago And make the people listen We are one voice in harmony We are a nation living Let’s remove the barriers That keep the hope from breathing Raise your voices strong and loud Speaking with one meaning Don’t be afraid of the road before us A new dawn breaks on mountainside On lakes and lands and forests We will raise the voice of hope To walk the road before us Orla, album “The Blue Note”

Elder's Meditation
"The old people came literally to love the soil and they sat or
reclined on
the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power...The
soil was
soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing..."
--Luther Standing Bear, OGLALA SIOUX
Have you ever noticed the relationship between children and the soil? Watch how happily they are touching the dirt. The children play in it and eat it. If you are stressed, go to a spot on the Earth, sit down, put your fingers in the dirt, dig in it. Wash your hands in the soil. When you touch it, notice what it does to your hands. Our bodies love to touch the Earth. Sometimes we get too busy and forget these simple things. Maybe you'll even want to plant a garden or flowers. These things are mentally healthy.
Great Spirit, today, let me touch the Earth so the Earth can touch me.
