Oh brother Bear
Lend me your power and skill
Protect my children and provide what they need
Feed them that they may learn and grow in the way
Oh brother Turtle
Teach my children the value of persistence
Let them learn to be deliberate and to value the Earth Mother
Giving thanks for the gifts of home and shelter she provides to all
Oh brother Owl
Lend your vision that sees in the darkness
Allow the children learn to move quickly, perch high
High to see and witness, gaining wisdom from a distance
Bear, the healer, Owl seeing inward, and Turtle grounded in the one
This, the beginning of the journey…
