The Earth is our mother and provides sustenance. She is our teacher, constantly nurturing, telling and showing us what we need to know. Water is her life blood. It nourishes her, and purifies her. From her breath grows the tree of life. Our ancestors as learners had but to open their eyes and ears and all their senses to the teachings of the land to take into their beings what lessons earth mother had to impart.
The teacher of teachers, master of learning, who points to the land and to insects, birds, animals and fish as the purveyors of all manners of learning and teaching, asks the question “What does it mean?”.
