ONE CIRCLE OF LIFE

Today I revisit a blessing…we need to hear it more
perhaps that’s why I’ve used it so many times before

It’s from the Native Nations peoples
who had their share of tragedy, heartache and strife…
and how they understood about one particular circle of life…

I imagine long ago they found the beat…
and discovered it by chance:

Dancing is a way to pray
prayer leads to healing
once we heal we can give
to give is to live
and one way to show we appreciate being alive
is to dance.
