We Will Not Forget.

We will not forget that you are our Mother,

(Mother) Nature, the great womb from which all lifesprings.

Millions upon billions of souls have labored to enter intoyour world in the hopes that eyes might absorb your

majestic beauty, so that hands might touch the tender newbuds of spring ~ soft ~ weeping with mornings' dew.

Each soul waiting for that first precious sound which stirsthe body to life.

We ~ will not forget.

We will not forget that you are the Great Wayshower ofSacred Law.

We learn about the Great Law of Life, Death and Rebirthfrom surviving our first Autumn, resplendent with crimson

~ ochre leaves floating to the earth blanketing it fromwinters clinging snows. Then, miracle upon miracle,

Spring ~ and Life bursts through the last remaining snows.Skeleton trees, death totems framed against the sky,breath with new Life flowing through their veins and

emerald buds promise a future. We Understand. We arethe 'tree of life' and are reborn into your arms in the

season of the soul.

The four legged's, the two legged's, the winged spirits andthose who swim through your birthing waters are one of

the greatest gifts you have given the People. We havewatched our allies in wonder ~ and then ~ in

understanding.

We have learned that every living being is necessary ~ foreach identifies an aspect of the psyche of the People.

However, with knowledge comes some sorrow for we havealso learned that with the extinction of any species ~ sotoo has one aspect of our psyche become extinct. Some

potential for the Human Soul has become Extinct.

When we endanger the existence of any living thing so to

do we endanger the evolution of our very soul. They givetheir lives that we may live, they share their spirit that wemay evolve. All life is sacred and we give thanks when oneof them must fall that we may live. Someday, we too will

return to the earth and feed new life.

We have learned ~ this is the Way of the Great Circle.

So we will Remember.

The Earth does not belong to the People, the Peoplebelong to the Earth. From the Earth we are born ~ to the

Earth we shall return. Your soil is consecrated ground andwe will sing our songs and tell our stories to show our

children that the dust beneath their feet is the ashes oftheir ancestors.

We will remember that the blood of our Ancestors coursethrough your mighty rivers. Your crystal waters quenchour thirst, carry our canoes and their rippling mummersspeak of the memories of our People. We will show our

children that the flow of Life is Sacred and to treat thewaters as we would our own blood.

We will remember that the air is precious and through itsspirit all life is supported. The winds that give us our firstbreath also receive our final sigh. And, if we listen, the

four winds will speak to us of our past and our future ~ ofwhat is below and what is above. We will show ourchildren that the air is Sacred and to listen to the

whispering among the leaves.

Above all, we will remember that all Life is connected. All

that lives are allies in our beingness. There are beastsand beings that give their lives for us and those that show

us about ourselves by showing us their Ways.

We do remember ~ our blood remembers ~ for we areborn of Turtle Island. We are the Warriors of the Rainbowwho will lead the Peoples of the Earth into an awareness of

the Sacredness of 'All That Is' and lead them into a New

Age.
