Colors of the Wind
Vanessa Williams

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they’re worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other,
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know

And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you’ll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

What a beautiful picture in remembrance of a terrible day lives in infamy. The whole world closed upon us all. Stay safe strong persons.

REMEMBER!

@Sheba, thanks for putting that up for those who don’t know who he was. He had a special gift for calling all animals to him. They would flock to him. He must have been a very blessed man! 😀

@kittengirl,

No worries I go so fast I don’t always see things. LOL! The cat just reminded me of you. 🙂
Sometimes I don’t see posts for a day or so. I feel bad if I don’t respond. I enjoy your
posts. ♥

Francis of Assisi
Preacher

Saint Francis of Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, informally named as Francesco, was an Italian Catholic friar, deacon and preacher. He founded the men’s Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of Saint Clare, the Third Order of Saint Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land. Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history. ♥

sorry, I didn’t see anything for me. I started posting before the cat was up.

@Sheba, Awww… Looks like my dear Ernie! The stories I could tell… but I will wait for another day. Today my closets are calling me.
