Today's Beautiful Gem: "Direction" by (American Indian Poet) Alonzo Lopez

"I was directed by my grandfather
To the East,
so I might have the power of the bear;
To the South,
so I might have the courage of the eagle;
To the West,
so I might have the wisdom of the owl;
To the North,
so I might have the craftiness of the fox;
To the Earth,
so I might receive her fruit;
To the Sky,
so I might lead a life of innocence."
