An Ute Prayer
Earth teach me quiet- as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering- as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility-as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring-as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage-as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation-as the ant that crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom-as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance-as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal-as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself-as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness-as dry fields weep with rain.
