Gratitude- Scrap That Poetry Challenge

Prayer for the Great Family




Gratitude to Mother Earth, sailing through night and day—

and to her soil: rich, rare and sweet

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Plants, the sun-facing, light-changing leaf

and fine root-hairs; standing still through wind

and rain; their dance is in the flowering spiral grain

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Air, bearing the soaring Swift and silent

Owl at dawn. Breath of our song

clear spirit breeze

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Wild Beings, our brothers, teaching secrets,

freedoms, and ways; who share with us their milk;

self-complete, brave and aware

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Water: clouds, lakes, rivers, glaciers;

holding or releasing; streaming through all

our bodies salty seas

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to the Sun: blinding pulsing light through

trunks of trees, through mists, warming caves where

bears and snakes sleep— he who wakes us—

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to the Great Sky

who holds billions of stars— and goes yet beyond that—

beyond all powers, and thoughts

and yet is within us—

Grandfather Space.

The Mind is his Wife.

so be it.





after a Mohawk prayer

by: Gary Snyder, Turtle Island

New Directions, New York, 1974, pp. 24-25

This is our poem this time over at Scrap That Poetry...

Scrapping the Music

OOOHHH my goodness... when I read the lyrics for this weeks' song... No Rain... it made me think of my trip to the pumpkin patch with Becky and our kids... it rained that day so the official "field trip" was post poned to the following day... however, we couldn't switch our personal days... so we went in the rain... we all had a blast!

Here is a picture of one of Becky's boys... loving the puddles!
All the kids were soaked, but honestly had so much fun!

Come play along with us here!

Today I am grateful for...
