米国先住民の知恵の第8話です。今回はユテ族の祈り「大地から学ぶ」です。私たちは難しい本を読んだり勉強したりする必要はなく、自然と共に生きていればそこからあらゆる知恵を学べるのかもしれません。The 8th message of Native American wisdom is Earth’s Teachings from and Ute prayer.

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.
– An Ute Prayer

 

The connection that Native American culture has had with the Earth is stunningly beautiful.

As much as any other culture on Earth, the Native American culture shows us clearly how nature, including the example set by nature, gives us everything we need to live in peace and harmony.
