"If we have a wonderful sense of the divine it is because we live amid such awesome magnificence...While the distinction between spirit and matter is valid, no one can separate the two; no one can draw a line between them. Spirit and matter are not two different realms of reality, two different layers of the universe. One and the same reality will be material or spiritual depending on how we approach it. (Regardless) of where we immerse ourselves in the stream of reality, we can touch the spiritual source of all that is natural." ~ (from Earth Prayers)
The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.
The summit of the mountains,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.
The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the morning,
the dewdrop on the flower,
speaks to me.
The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
and the lite that never goes away,
they speak to me.
And my heart soars.
(Chief Dan George)
