IF I COULD SEND A CARD

 If I could find a card to send to the mother of us all, I'd hope it would have verses like this one from Earth Medicine by Jamie Sams.

MAKING FAMILY

 

Earth Mother teach me of my kin,

Of Hawk and Dove and flower,

Of blinding sunlight, shady knoll,

Desert wind and morning showers.

 

Teach me every language of

The creatures that sing to me,

That I may count the cadence of

Infinite lessons in harmony.

 

Teach me how to honor

The Sacred Spaces of all,

Gently melding with the whole,

Answering the whippoorwill's call.

 

Steamy tropics to glacial ice,

To thundering ocean tides,

In every grain of desert sands

Your beauty forever abides.

 

Oh Mother of every kingdom,

Let me claim my family's love,

From the whales of deepest oceans,

To the Winged-ones high above.

 

To bad honoring our Mother the earth gets dismissed as Nature worship. We wouldn't be here without her and this is one mother we'll never outgrow. So Happy Mother's Day to Mother Earth. Thank your for all my brothers and sisters.
