She Speaks The Wisdom Of The Rain ~*Marge Tindal*~  Parched in curl of sand unfurled by winds of quick descend She seeks the wisdom of the clouds to quench the thirst again~ She summons the wisdom of the rain in gentle fall on plains from sky Swell of moisture-laden drops pelting the earth of long-deny~ Mother of the ancient tongue hears our chant of earnest plea She sends the wisdom of the rain whispering ever so gently~ That we could catch her offering on lips of thankfulness She speaks the wisdom of the rain and we are richly blessed~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, Cool! I did stop by and read some of your other work, and I must say it's very sincere and purposeful. Neat image: "I am the blood left standing". I wish I knew more about my culture. Since I'm only part Native, I don't know whether I should think of myself as Native or not, although I guess it's not about a percentage of genes but a subjective feeling of connection. Do you speak any Native languages? I only know how to say Hello and How are you. I would write it down, only I don't know how to spell it! (See, I told you I didn't know much about my First Nations culture!) Take care, Ashley |

Ashley~ Thank you for coming back and letting me know you'd read some of my Indian heritage collection~ Yes, I speak a little ... but don't get the chance to use it much~ And you're right ... it isn't about the percentage of blood of Indian heritage that flows through our veins ... I lay claim to blood-lines of 1/4 heritage ... but oh, how it flows~ I would encourage you to seek your heritage ... as it will give you insight to writing from the spirits~ I cherish the legends of the ancients~ Thanks again so much sister of the blood~ Ho! Mitakuye Oyasin "We Are All Related" Yigaquu osaniyu adanvto adadoligi nigohilvi nasquv utloyasdi nihi (May the great spirits blessings always be with you) *HUGS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I have cherished your email for the past couple of days as I battled the werk monster for time to play in the blue pages... quenching my thirst on the touching perfection you've written... catching your offering on lips of thankfulness. *S* This is magnificent, Marge... the spirits were generous and I thank you for sharing this gift. *S* The graphic is wonderful accompaniment to your words... but the words paint pictures all on their own. *S* |
