Salutation to mother earth
Salutation to mother earth
Power of the seed unborn in native sun
Touch the earth with gentle hand
Feel its living soul
Place your palms on waters edge
Breath deep rejoice as one
Drop pebbles into still waters
That ripples out of time
Place bare feet into wet sand
Listen to the tide and smell the sea
from which all was born
Sit beneath an aged tree listen to its tales
Watch leaves dance on breeze in a spiral rhyme
Walk a path of life on the moistened moss
Up to a mountains peak
Then sit relax and breathe
Watch until the sun goes down and stars begin to shine
Then you will begin to know what is real and not
