Earth Day wisdom
Happy Earth Day everyone! Celebrating mother Earth today with some first nations poetry to share with you all. Hope to see all my Ottawa Valley friends at the March for Science in Ottawa today!
"The Great Spirit is in all things:
He is in the air we breathe.
The Great Spirit is our father,
but the Earth is our Mother.
She nourishes us;
that which we put into the ground
she returns to us."
