Remembering

   The rains have come and brought new life to the land that surrounds me, the land I tend here in West Central Indiana. I am grateful and remember what the earth looked and felt like just 2 weeks ago. I can not forget that it is we humans, two leggeds, that have created the environment , the climate we find ourselves living within. It is not a belief . It is the effect of a people who have forgotten where we come from, from what we are created and that we are all connected.
   Healing is something that is an ongoing process, something that requires us all, in community to create. We have come to live apart from life, forgetting we are life. To live apart from each other and
other species of life. In that separateness, we forget that we need everyone of those other species to live who and what we are. To live and be what we are. To remember the ancients ways of Grandmother Earth and Grandfather Sun. To remember our ancestors and live for the moment and in that moment live for all that is to come. Aho, Constance Pearl Hunter
