Tribute poem to indigenous people of America and world over as well as Buddhists and others seeking enlightenment and communion with nature, the universe and spirit.
O remembering the remembering: the awe of being in each living thing, heart's deep song to it we sing. Dedicate the merit of our spirit world: to the trees, the bees, the wings unfurled, we respect and herald. All the ancestors who went before opened up a door so we can love - be still once more. Let us see with sun's last beam land's great gifts, all they mean: every sentient being. The water's edge we're graced to touch - from life's seas springs so much. O release our clutch. Listen to nature's rules: not to own or live alone, for if you do, we'll all atone. Please let us give be part of awe, join the kin, spring, summer, fall - winter comes to all. O remembering the remembering: the awe of being in each living thing, heart's deep song to it we sing.
