Teach Me

Teach Me..
A Ute Prayer

Earth teach me stillness as the grasses are stilled with light.
Earth teach me suffering as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring as the mother who secures her young.
Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation as the ant which crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom as the eagle which soars in the sky.
Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall.
Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep with rain.
Open to all the traditional teachings past to us...we begin to feel the Great Mystery working in all life... Love is wrapping you in the Shawls of Love as we gather near these fires of peace...Adding sage to the fires to raise our prayers...Love brings us together...share it along to others...Love Grandmother Eagle Lei ...
