A Navajo Poem for Peace: Magic Formula To Make An Enemy Peaceful

Put your feet down with pollen.
Put your hands down with pollen.
Put your head down with pollen.
Then your feet are pollen;
Your hands are pollen;
Your body is pollen;
Your mind is pollen;
Your voice is pollen.
The trail is beautiful.
Be still.

  1. Absolutely beautiful! I love this for so many reasons and on so many levels.

    Life takes us where we go, leading us by forces we feel are our own. We leave our essence where we stand. We plant what we sow. We harvest our reward and then we lay it all down again.

    And, on another level, I practice organic gardening. What I give, I receive. When bounty is shared, it is multiplied. The cycle continues.
