Grandfather Shaman of Mesa Verde: Beloved children of the Creator, it is time to move from inside the winter storytelling to the world outside reemerging from the depths of snow, wind, and ice. You carry the full oral tradition shared during this dark time of the year. Your family and tribal histories have been relived through the storytelling so that you can carry them inside your heart and soul.

When you go into Mother Earth and nature once again, you will feel the new beginnings of life coming forth all around you. The rapidly flowing waters descend from the mountains to the valleys bringing forth plants, flowers, and trees in the rush of life.
