Happy New Year, Mom.

To All Our Relations
All the two leggeds
The four leggeds
The creepy crawlies and the winged creatures
To all that walks, flies, or crawls upon the ground.
To all that burrows in the earth, swims in the sea
To all that clings to the cravasses and crevises of the mountains and the deep.
To the East, the land of birth, beginning, wakefulness
To the South, the place of light, warmth, hope
To the West, the land of death, sleep, the ancestors
To the North, the place of winter, rest, dormancy
To all our our relations that dwell on and in the Earth
And in the skies above us.
Happy New Year.
