Land of milk and honey
Sacred Valley of the White Buffalo
Loving home
A part of Mother Earth where
I was gifted the opportunity to
Learn how to
Steward our sacred mother
To watch the sun travel across the horizon
As the wheel turned
Year after blessed year
The spring blossoms
The green pastures
Snow melting into the streams
Milking Mamas
Spring Chicks
Peach picking in the orchards
Swimming in wild waters
Apple pressing
Irritating the pasture
Shovel, irrigator boots and
moving the water across the fields
Compost of gold
Heaping high above my kids
Bringing in the hay
The harvests of the seasons
Drying, freezing, tincturing, curing, fermenting
Stacking wood from the apple orchard
Sacred fires heating the cabin
Babies on sheepskins by candle light
Cooking on the wood stove
Feeding canned fruit to babies
Frolicking in the mountains
Golden forest of aspen leaves
Gathering the mushrooms
Digging up Osha root
Skiing into the cabin
Birthing all my children in
The home I built with their father
Under the light of the full moon
The sacred milk
Nourishing my babes
Hot cocoa by the fire side
Story time in the evening
Fresh baked baguettes out of the oven
Raw home made butter
Yogurt, ghee, ice cream, cheese
Potatoes fried in chicken fat
Praying in the
temple of the dairy barn
The mother cow at the altar
Giving thanks for life
Giving thanks for the water
Barefoot in the stream
Gathering the bounty of the land
Teaching my children how to
Live in harmony with
All our relations
Giving thanks
Valley of the White Buffalo
