Will I be blessed for not following that line with something irreverent...from the earth?

By one of my favorite artists, Robert Mirabel
The Story of Land
Many, many years ago, two holy brothers of the land
went deep into the woods to foresee life
to hunt
to remember stories
to be with the Land
Nightfall came...
stars twinkled songs for cool rivers
smoky trails hung heavy on fir trees
to listen
to the store of Land
told by the older brother
His long braids touching the ground
his voice being the drum
the night owl responding, "More. Tell me more."
Younger brother stood up
his long fingers touching the limbs of the willows
his voice was the flute
Deep into the night...
they remembered
the cold summer night spoke
the voice the wind
"On this land there will be children
who will spread seedlings of life
On this land there will be hunters
who nurture this life with the large animals
On this land there will be holy people
who will take care of the people
On this land will be destruction and death
and it will hold hands
on this land
with laughter and life
This land, you must understand clearly,
is to be taken care of
It is for the children
It is forever"
Their voices faded away with the river
Life began
Spirit came to life
This is how it is
Many, many years ago today"

Ah well...that is just the truth, with no holiday attached or necessary.
