Visiting the lands of Kitchi Sabe






loving you 
is like starlight dancing with ocean 
and flying hummingbirds shimmering
flavors, 
painting my day with joy

*

my journey to the great lakes
fresh water ocean of Turtle Island
meandered with streams of 
inner-connecting weaving
flavoring senses of belonging 
to water, earth, air, light
and all relations

*

there were saids and songs
and voices of heart stretched drums
from the next generations fires
shakers seeding sparks
of living resilience

*

water gives life, 
spirit gives light,
wind gives voice,
earth gives form,

beauty and life, 
living lovers
dreaming dreams
into woven tapestries
of living realities

*
Some say "it's not over till the fat lady sings".
So much gratitude for gramma's sharing big bundles.
So much gratitude for youth who gather seeds.

*

*

May the Spirit of Sacred Stones
Spark Protecting the Sacred Waters of Taos,
the Great Lake Fresh Water Birthing Oceans,
and all the Water Veins that inter-connect us  
with Turtle Island and all relations.

  1. Aho! Chi Miigwetch Grandmother. It was such an honour and pleasure to finally meet you in the flesh.

    I wish that our visit could have been longer, but perhaps in the not so distant future our visitations can be more frequent when you by your RV! Or perhaps Janine and I need to buy a car and come and visit you down south.
