IV. Interconnected Web

Teach your children the ethos of 
   the rampart-
   of the earth under their feet. 
Is it more than just soil? It's heaven — 
The Chosen Hallowed Retreat 
Where we connect

For you must see life as fully rich with 
    the resounding vibrations of our 
    kindred lives on this sacred earth. 
    Our temporary home.   
For whatever happens to her 
    happens to our kindred race.

All life is connected. Wouldn't you agree?
For all life is like 
    blood that unites a family,
by a process of no creation. 
     For there is no division.  One must see
Humanity and other forms of life 
    are knitted together... 
    by the fabric of existence. 
    Which are only a part of 
    circle of life cycle.
Each time we do, we are getting 
our bodies intertwined.

Just like the Hopi who revere sacred mesas, 
    we must honor our...
Ancestral wisdom -
    winding through desert canyons.
A sacred thread is planting -
    our stories into the mother land.
Into the wind-carved rocks' etched. In coyotes'...
  starry night songs!
We hear earth's eternal rhythms, 
    guiding us along.

Feel the warmth of the sun-soaked soil 
    beneath bare feet.
Perhaps, the cool, refreshing 
    touch of mountain - 
    stream water.
Let us smell the wild sage carried on 
    a gentle breeze.
And hear the wind swept leaves of 
    ancient trees.
In these moments, we connect to 
    the heartbeat of the earth.

As Katsina spirits teach through 
   their dances that
We are temporary guests 
    on this sacred land.
Yes, stewards of its beauty, bounty, 
    and balance. —
Our legacy layered by our 
    own deeds' hands.
Through each mindful step and every 
    gentle touch
We praise and honor 
    the interconnectedness web of life.

So Must Stop! and ask: 

How now can we translate this 
    intimate and spiritual connection into
    a harmonic coexistence and illiminate 
    the discordant strife?
