Praying with the Lakota For The Land
The colonizing overculture, which produces monoculture with devastating results, which assumes resources without realizing cycles, is a house divided against itself. I too am standing with the land, the stones, the dirt, the bugs, the animals and the fish, the birds; these all depend upon the stewards of the land, which have become us. I am far from understanding the ways of Nature, but I am throwing in my lot with her, because, really, there is no other place under God where we stand, eh? I am not called to politics, or war, or merchandising. I am called to abundant life, and as I nurture my little pea patch, I can see the wealth that is a living heritage.
