Thank you Creator for this life.

These poems were birthed in the middle of Momma life, family life, and every day life. These words were not planned or pre~conceived or
contrived.
These poems would blast through me after deep prayer + meditation offering me no choice but to write them down. And one by one, they began to tell stories. Each poem a different teaching and lesson to be learned. This book was given life amidst endings and so this,
is my new beginning.

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.

love
blooms
with
love.
love blooms
in
stillness
as
well
as
chaos
love
blooms
and
thrives
and
laughs
with the sun
love
blooms
and
shines
and
sings
with the moon
love blooms
and
dances
infinitely
with the water
love
blooms
love
heals
and
love
grows
with the soil
love lights
the way.
