(A Sacred Teacher of Chippewa Descent) <br /> <br /> <br />The mark of the bear claw <br />is upon everything, <br />The time has come again, <br />for each man child to live <br />simply in the sun. <br /> <br /> <br />Be aware of the water. <br />Is it pure, fresh, clear <br />of impurities? Wash <br />yourself and your <br />loved ones, carefully. <br />Drink deeply. <br /> <br /> <br />Breathe slowly, <br />cleansing your blood. <br />Breathe as our earth, <br />in complete circles. <br /> <br /> <br />Test the soil with your <br />own hands. When the food <br />you grow is healthy, so <br />can your body grow. <br />Thank all life that you <br />must take within. <br /> <br /> <br />This is all we have, bless it <br />and we will be blessed. <br /> <br /> <br />(Translated into poetry Dec.2007)<br /><br />Cheryl Lynn Moyer Peele<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sun-bear-s-predictions/
