ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

In his book, Natural Playscapes, Rusty Keeler quotes a traditional Native American message of thankfulness that is meant to remind us all to stop and feel appreciation for those things we often take for granted:

"We thank you:
Grandfather Sun – who warms our hearts;
Grandmother Moon – who goes by night in the river of stars;
Mother Earth – who carries all life upon her back;
The Waters – lifeblood of Mother Earth;
The Rocks – bones of Mother Earth;
The Animals – who creep and crawl upon the Earth;
The Fish – who swim in the lakes, rivers, and seas;
The Birds – who fly high in the sky;
The Flowering Plants and Herbs – who bring medicine and beauty;
The Trees – who stand tall for us;
The Crops – so that we may live;
Our Ancestors – those who came before us;
And Creator – within all things;
We are thankful!"
