What is the Ute Prayer?
UTE PRAYER Earth Teach Me • Earth teach me stillness as the grasses are stilled with light… • Earth teach me suffering as old stones suffer with memory… • Earth teach me humility as blossoms are humble with beginning… • Earth teach me caring as the mother who secures her young… • Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone… • Earth teach me limitation as the ant which crawls on the ground… • Earth teach me freedom as the eagle which soars in the sky… • Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall… • Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring… • Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life… • Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep with rain…
