SINGER OF MANY SONGS

I love listening to the robin sing.
It is the singer of many songs.
 It's songs teach us about new life and new beginnings.
 I listen, as robin sings into my heart.
It reminds me how Creator has given each of us many songs to sing.
He has given us breath to sing forth songs of beauty.
 
I was taught that our songs come from the earth,
who received these songs
when Creator breathed them into the Earth Mother.
Those that are sensitive to her,
connected to her in a sacred way,
will hear these songs ...
they will be filled with these songs
and be the singers that sing into existence the secrets of the earth.
Songs are beautiful.
We have our life songs we continue to build upon.
We have the traditional and ceremonial songs
of our own people which bind us together
and keep our cultures alive and vibrant.
 
We have our soul songs which sing  forth who we are,
searching songs that guide us,
and our healing songs, of prayer and powerful medicine.
Songs are alive.
They have a creation force.
The more they are sung,
the deeper into the spirit they nest,
enabling us to keep our visions and dreams,
so that we may sing them into existence.
 
Our songs keep us connected ...
to the earth and to each other.
They keep us focused.
They remind us of who we are
and keep us hopeful and balanced.
Whatever we are in need of,
Creator has given us breath to sing into existence
the encouragment we need to continue on life's journey ...
strengthened and comforted, with renewed hope and courage,
and faith to walk on ... singing as we go.

Beautiful. Just totally beautiful. As Indian people we have been taught that everyone has a song. Once they find that song it is then their life becomes complete and will take on the responsibilities of why they came here to this earth and what their purpose is. Once again. Just beautiful.
