Catori

Dedicated to the Native American Women and their past to remind everyone that nature guides all living things and not the way around. Catori means Spirit. A beautiful poem here to remind what Mother Earth is about: For hundreds of years certainly for thousands Our Native elders have taught us “All My Relations” means all living things and the entire Universe “All Our Relations” they have said time and time again. . . .

Do you doubt still? a rock alive? You say it is hard! it doesn’t move of its own accord! it has no eyes! it doesn’t think! but rocks do move put one in a fire it will get hot won’t it? That means won’t you agree? that its insides are moving ever more rapidly?. . .

So don’t kid me my friend, rocks change rocks move rocks flow rocks combine rocks are powerful friends I have many big and small their processes, at our temperatures, are very slow but very deep!

I understand because, you see, I am part rock! I eat rocks rocks are part of me I couldn’t exist without the rock in me We are all related!

No, it’s alive I tell you, just like the old ones say they’ve been there you know they’ve crossed the boundaries not with computers but with their very own beings! by unknown
