Seeking wisdom, knowledge,
Beyond our understanding,
Asking the woods, the forest,
The air rushing by us, whispering,
Rocks, the animal shamans,
Plant elders, the ancient ones,
For their wisdom, for their guidance.
Stilling ourselves on our journey,
Out into the woods, the forest,
Walking by the waters, in the fields,
Up on the mountains, in the valleys,
Finding nature’s elders to guide us,
Sharing ancient wisdom, answers,
Sometimes beyond our understanding.

Beyond our understanding,
Asking the woods, the forest,
The air rushing by us, whispering,
Rocks, the animal shamans,
Plant elders, the ancient ones,
For their wisdom, for their guidance.
Out into the woods, the forest,
Walking by the waters, in the fields,
Up on the mountains, in the valleys,
Finding nature’s elders to guide us,
Sharing ancient wisdom, answers,
Sometimes beyond our understanding.
