Poetry
Poem #1
Seasons of the Stars
Spring
new light and new life,
welcome the third sugar moon,
Earth slit by sun’s knife.
Summer
youth search in the light,
long journey, long memory;
Fisher’s famous flight.
Autumn
Sage smokes and leaves fall;
Harvest moon greets the spirits,
from the West they call.
Winter
rest, relax, reflect,
breathe brief but endless wisdom;
the Dead will protect.
Poem #2
Elements of the Universe
Earth
protection from birth,
Grandmother Moon watches over
us and Mother Earth.
Water
all life comes from one,
flowing through us and our world,
guided by the Sun.
Fire
Grandfather warms all
eight sons and daughters to wane
eternal nightfall.
Air
unknown in the fray,
Creator linked the Skyworld
with our Milky Way.
Why We Need this in Our Education
- allowing for new worldviews in the world of academia
- decentralize western and eurocentric views
