DAILY GRATITUDE NATIVE NATIONS WISDOM

Today, as always, I am grateful for native nations wisdom…
and how they’ve found a way…
despite our efforts to the contrary…
to bring that wisdom back today…

Hold on to what is good…
even if it is a handful of dirt

Hold on to what you believe…
Even if it is a tree that stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do…
even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life…
even if it is easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand…
even if I have gone away from you.
