Today, I come with loving thanks to the whole human family.
I give thanks that we have arrived here safely to share our gifts from the
creator with one another. For together we can share in greetings to all.

We send our deepest thanksgiving and greetings to Mother Earth,
who like our own mother continues to give for our well-being. She
is the ground from which all else is birthed and flourishes.

We send our thanks and greetings to the Waters of the Earth, who
quench our thirst, calm our senses and help us to keep clean. In body
and soul. We thrive in lands with waterfalls, clean rivers and vast oceans.
We send our thanks to the medicine in all waters.

And we send thanks to all those who live in the waters, that we sometimes
forget. To the algae, dolhpins, coral and fish who clense the waters we use.

We send greetings and thanksgiving to the low-growing plants. Food crops,
herbs, magical vines and wildflowers. For their medicine and beauty we send
our warmest greetings.

We send our thanksgiving and greetings to the Animal Nation. For they
teach us many lessons and look us directly in the eye, evoking a true sense
of kinship. We give thanks for all the wonderful variety, and spirit of these friends.

We send our thanks to the Trees. For the shelter, food and warmth they
provide. For the giving of their bodies for fire, and all that teaches.

We send greetings to the Bird Nation, who have not forgotten their
original instructions. They always appear in times of chaos and in times
communion, holding space for all the spectrum of human experience.
Thanks to the crows, hawks, eagles and morning doves. For their alarms
and their songs and their ability to be our eyes and ears in the forest.

We send love and greetings to the Four Winds, who calm our minds as they
blow through the trees. We thank them for the change they bring as they
crawl through air like unseen smoke.

We send our thanksgiving to the Thunder Nation. The intensity of life and
the cleansing they bring to our mother earth and to the hearts of all beings.

We send warmest greeatings to our oldest brother the Sun who never stops
shinning! Who is our dearest star.

We send our thanksgiving to Grandmother Moon who holds hands with all
women of the world. We give thanks for your guidance in the night and your
presence in our emotion.

We send our greetings and thanksgiving to Star Nation, who hold long
forgotten stories and are so willing to share. We give thanks for your
cosmic reminder that we are small and made of rainbows. =)

We send our thanksgiving to the spirit beings who dwell in the four
directions, promoting our right action and reminding us when we have gone
astray. We give thanks for your protection and love.

And here we have arrived in a special place...

So we send our highest praise and thanksgiving to the Spirit that moves
through all things. To the creator, in all her grandest and all her smallest
manifestations. To the ansestors, future generations and all those not mentioned, We send our thanks.


We are now One Body, One Heart, One Mind.
Namaste.
