SMOKE ON THE WIND

April 8, 2009 Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing

DESIGN

(from “Rhythm of the Drum” by Dancing Feather)

I was feeling alone,
then thought of the lessons of creation,
how we are like the things around us.
Consider for a moment a stone.
It can be with many others,
but yet it is individual, unique and one of a kind.
If it be on the mountain top or in the valley,
it is what it is to be,
and I thank God for stones
for they help me to be more of what I can be.
When looking at a stone,
it can be looked at as being confined
or being free.
God created them for you and me.
