I see a vision of tall prairie grass swaying in the wind. I feel the breeze on my face cleansing and clearing my muddled mind. I walk and breathe in the blue sky, the grass, and the sweet nectar of Mother Earth. I notice a huge white buffalo standing on the landscape. I walk toward the buffalo and stand in awe as I gaze at its magnificence. I notice a radiance emanating from the buffalo, and she transforms into a brilliant white light, shape-shifting into a woman. There on the prairie landscape is White Buffalo Calf Woman.

Welcome, children of Earth. It is with hope and love I come to you this day. Your Mother Earth needs you; she needs your love, courage, strength, and hope. She is your first Mother, your cosmic Mother. She has always provided for you the food you eat, the clothes you wear, and the homes you live in. This is true whether you live in the Amazon jungle or the concrete jungles of the biggest cities. Mother Earth is your home, your benefactor.

You chose to come to this planet as a spirit, and you brought with you the capacity for infinite love, strength, and magnificence. In turn, you have been cradled with unconditional love and beauty from Earth Mother.
