The Good Road: Spiritual Resources for Earth Week

Written by Maria Marx, MSW | Apr 19, 2021 1:21:38 PM

The Sheltering Tree

Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.

It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!

Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.

-Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk
