The Earth Teaches Me- a Ute Prayer

Rachael CrowBlog

Earth teach me stillness

       as the grasses are stilled with 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 the mother who secures her young.

Earth teach me courage

       as the tree which stands all alone.

Earth teach me limitation

       as the ant which crawls on the ground.

Hands in front of the world

Earth teach me freedom

       as the eagle which soars in the sky.

Earth teach me resignation

       as the leaves which die in the fall.

Earth teach me regeneration

       as the seed which 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.

— Ute prayer
