To pray you open your whole self To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon To one whole voice that is you And know there is more That you can't see, can't hear Can't know except in moments Steadily growing, and in languages That aren't always sound but other Circles of motion. Like eagle that Sunday morning Over Salt River. Circled in blue sky In wind, swept our hearts clean With sacred wings. We see you, see ourselves and know That we must take the utmost care And kindness in all things. Breathe in, knowing we are made of All this, and breathe, knowing We are truly blessed because we Were born, and die soon within a True circle of motion, Like eagle rounding out the morning Inside us. We pray that it will be done In beauty. In beauty...............Joy Harjo
To our elders who teach us of our creation and our past So we may preserve mother earth for ancestors yet to come We are the land
To our brothers and sisters and all living things across mother earth Her beauty we've destroyed And denied the honor the Creator has given each individual
The truth lies in our hands All my relations
This was the way of it Let the story fires be lighted Let our circle be strong and full of medicine
Hear me This is my dream song that I'm singing for you This is my power song that is taking me to the edge This is rock medicine The talking tree The singing water
Listen I am dancing underneath you This was the way of it It is a river It is a chant It is a medicine story It is what happened long ago It is a bead in a story belt It is what has been forgotten It is the smell of sweetgrass and cedar
And prayers lifted to sky father It is a way, a tradition The way it was always done by the people It is a feeling of warmth The sound of voices
Listen I am dancing underneath you Robbie Robertson

"Today I smiled, and all at once things didn't look so bad. Today I shared with someone else, a bit of hope I had. Today I sang a little song and felt my heart grow light, And walked a happy little mile with not a cloud in sight. Today I worked with what I had and longed for nothing more, And what had seemed like only weeds, were flowers at my door. Today I loved a little more and complained a little less, And in the giving of myself, I forgot my weariness."
"You can manipulate words to turn departure into aperture, but you cannot figure the velocity of love and how it enters every equation. It's related to the calculation of the speed of light, and how light prevails.".........Joy Harjo & John L. Williams
"The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful" Albert Einstein
Stand Tall and Proud Sink your roots deeply into the Earth Reflect the light of a greater source Think long term Go out on a limb Remember your place among all living beings Embrace with joy the changing seasons For each yields its own abundance The Energy and Birth of Spring The Growth and Contentment of Summer The Wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter
Feel the wind and the sun And delight in their presence Look up at the moon that shines down upon you And the mystery of the stars at night. Seek nourishment from the good things in life Simple pleasures Earth, fresh air, light
Be content with your natural beauty Drink plenty of water Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes Be flexible Remember your roots
Enjoy the view!
"The Spirit of life relates to what has been described by the word "heaven"; the phenomenal world around us to what is described by the word "earth." Heaven and earth are one. Only man, in his foolishness, endeavors to separate them. To the extent that he is successful in this it becomes hell in his own experience. Hell is simply the absence of the experience of heaven; it is the absence of the experience of life, in whatever degree. The experience of life as it really is, is heaven." Martin Cecil
Here I am away from the pleasures of the first world Laid out before me who am I to breakdown?
Everyday I wake up, I choose Love I choose Light And I try, it's too easy just to fall apart
Oh my baby don't be so distressed Were gonna pull your test It's time to be so brutally honest about The way we know want for something fine When we climb for higher ceilings And push for happy feelings
And here we are in the center of the first world It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?
Everyday we wake up We choose Love We choose light And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart
Plastic Bottles Imported Water Cars we drive wherever we want to Clothes we buy at sweatshop labor Drugs from corporate neighbors We're not living the Good life Unless we're fighting the Good fight You and Me it's time to get it right
In the center of the first world It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?
Everyday we wake up We choose Love We choose light And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart
Love can free us from all excess From our deepest debts Cause when our hearts are full we need much less
Yea I know we want for something fine When we climb for higher ceilings And push for happy feelings
But Here we are in the center of the first world It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?
Here we are in the center of the first world It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?
Everyday we wake up We choose Love We choose light And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart
Everyday we wake up We choose Love We choose light And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart...........the Submarines
When you were born you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cried and you rejoice.
