I call upon Hiawatha and Dionysus
I often believe you two are the same
Friends of humanity and the earth.
As seeing the history of our earth and the waters of the earth.
As seeing nature and the growing things and vines and the wildness of this planet.
I think upon the goodness and wisdom of Hiawatha and Dionysus.
Both connected to the earth are the best ones to learn from.
As we see politically, globally, and as human beings we need to listen to them now more than ever.
They teach me to listen to nature, that magic is a gift, and our friends are closer than we realize.
The Dionysian Thyrsus is a powerful compelling campaign addressing the wonder of life and the earth and harmony.
It is all within us and outside of us.
Hiawatha speaks to the wind and in our souls of the equality of all things from minerals in rocks and out towards the star beings.
Balance and harmony, creativity and weaving our stories, hope and timeless ambition to run with the wildness of our natures.
Lady bugs to bear, mountain lions to the praying mantis.
Trees and rivers, rain, and thunder.
Love making to eating and dancing.
