Earthbound, and yet I now fly through the clouds that are aimlessly drifting ... so high that no sound echoing by below where the mountains are lifting the sky can be heard. Like a bird, but not meek, like a hawk from a distance regarding its prey, I will shriek, not a word, but a screech, and my terrible clamor will turn them to clay— the sheep, the earthbound. *** Tashunka Witko of the Lakota Sioux, better known as Crazy Horse, had a vision of a red-tailed hawk at Sylvan Lake, South Dakota. In his vision he saw himself riding a spirit horse, flying through a storm, as the hawk flew above him, shrieking. When he awoke, a red-tailed hawk was perched near his horse.

Burch We came together – people of two lands so unalike, at first, we hardly knew how to be friends. We went to war, and drew lines in the sand. And yet the sky was blue for everyone, and big enough to share. We came together, and our friendships grew. We had to learn to share the selfsame air, to find the path to harmony, to find some common ground and let peace bloom. We came together and we gave hope room to blossom in our hearts. We learned to be together in our common destiny. We come together – people of many lands so unalike, at first, and now we know how to be friends.

Burch We come together, holding hands, the children of so many lands; it’s what the day demands. We come together, seeking peace, intent of love, our hearts at ease. We come together, seeking peace; it’s what the day decrees. The time is right. The time is now. We come together, knowing how the world depends on us to know the only time to love is now. We come together, holding hands, the children of so many lands; it’s what the day demands. We come together, seeking peace, intent of love, our hearts at ease.

Earthbound, the Vision of Crazy Horse
