OUR MOON — SPRING 2022
Ziigwan, Wetu, SPRING EQUINOX – MARCH 20, 2022
I believe the best we can do is participate. Be present in the moment, in the cosmic flow. This video has elements of the flow of spring, i.e. what it means to participate in the cosmic flow of spring – earth and sky.
Look for the Moon, the turtle, the flow of time, the heartbeat, the drum…. the Pipe Ceremony in the Stars (D/Lakota), Cansasa-Red Willow constellation, the Spring Panther (Ojibwe), snow changing to rain, birds return, Ojiig-Fisher constellation (Ojibwe Big Dipper)… the plants, the dirt, the seedlings, and the spring flowers… don’f forget the Wakinyans-Thunderbeings of Spring.
“Native Science: Natural Laws of Interdependence”, G. Cajete, 2000
… “participation with nature” is the view from which Native science has evolved …the dynamics of participation are founded on an ancient human covenant with plants, animals, the forces of the earth, and the universe. It is the depth of our ancient human participation with nature that has been lost and indeed must be regained in some substantial form in modern life and modern science. The cosmological and philosophical must once again become “rooted” in a life-centered, lived experience of the natural world”
