In Celebration of Gratitude

In the US we have a holiday we call Thanksgiving. I remember this time many years ago. I was in 3rd grade, cutting out shapes and glueing them together to create Pilgrim hats, buckles for shoes and little doily collars. We cut out orange, yellow and brown turkey feathers and believed a story we were told about Pilgrims and Native Americans coming together to celebrate friendship and the fruits of the land. I now understand this, and so many other stories we were told as children, to be fabricated tales of convenience. And although I was not there to witness the thousands of scenes as they played out across these vast lands of the Americas, I feel the stories of both joy and sorrow that the land remembers. 

​Thank you to the ancestors of this land I call home, for knowing the sacred mountains and honoring our connection to earth and the nature spirits. The Southern Ute tribal nations called this land home and I feel their hearts, their songs and their dreams when I walk the land. 

​Thank you to father sun for shining your light energy for all living life to use freely and abundantly. May we understand and honor your wisdom. 

Thank you to the air we breathe, for the very breath of life is vital in each moment and connects us to our bodies and hearts as we take you in. May you always blow wild, clear and fresh. 

​​Thank you water in all your forms for refreshing our cells and being the liquid that keeps us alive, hydrated and healthy. May you continue to teach us the power of our intentions and emotions as you flow on, around and through our planet and skies. 

Thank you mother earth for anchoring and sustaining all life in beautifully orchestrated dance. Thank you for your ability to alchemize and balance emotions and harmonize energies. May you thrive in the abundance you have created and continue to have patience with all who pillage your gifts on their path to remembering their undeniable  connection to you. 

Happy Day of Gratitude to all. 🙏🌍💧🔥💨​
