Family Dinner


For the lonesome traveler


A Second Helping


God is the Father, Earth the Mother

With all things and in all things, we are relatives

A Native American dish



Heaven and Earth

Who gave me her stone to build my house from?
Who gave me her wood to build my fire from?
Who gave me her water to drink from?
Who gave me her fruit to eat from?

Was that not you
my dear mother Earth?
But, my dear mother Earth,
for what it's worth
I love you too!

And
who gave me the ability
to weep and to laugh
to love and to hate
to sift the grain from the chaff
and to determine my own fate?

Was that not you
my dear old heavenly father?
Why then, my dear old heavenly father,
are you such a big mystery
to me?
