May the music of our souls
Be accompanied by grand gestures
And the persistent clapping of hummingbird’s wings.
~ from a prayer by Lisa Colt in WOMAN PRAYERS
Spirit and work are linked among indigenous people because human work is viewed as an intensification of the work that Spirit does in nature... Individuals, as extensions of Spirit, come into the world with a purpose. At its core, the purpose of an individual is to bring beauty, harmony, and communion to earth.
