First Nite... The ceremony continues

Every moment of every day, replenishing, recreating things are going on around us. All that is natural can restore us to a natural order... the walking movement called "time."
Time is the ceremony moving with rhythm and prayer. Holiness is attached to time as it moves so it creates a natural healing situation.
The ceremony begins when the "singer" begins to sing over the "one sung over." The one sung over will raise his voice with all the other participants and sing along this song:

They were given, they were given.
Those were given, those were given.
The Sons of the Sun were given. Those were given, those were given.
The Sons of White Corn were given. Those were given, those were given.
The Dark Cloud above the Earth was given. Those were given, those were given.
The Flash of Lightning was given. Those were given, those were given.
The Thin Dark Wind was given. Those were given, those were given.
The Arrow Lightning's voice was given. Those were given, those were given.
The Long Life One, the Happiness One.
Those were given, those were given.
They were given, they were given.
Those were given, those were given.
The Sons of Moon were given, those were given, those were given.
The Sons of Yellow Corn were given. Those were given, those were given.
The Ones that stand above were given. Those were given, those were given.
The White Rainbow was given. Those were given, those were given.
The White Wind with its body was given. Those were given, those were given.
The voice of the Corn Ripener was given. Those were given, those were given.
The Long Life One, The Happiness One.
Those were given, those were given.
They were given, they were given.
Those were given, those were given.

The song goes from the "Sons of the Sun". Rain falls from dark clouds, onto our mother the earth. Causing the White Corn Sons to push up through the broken soil into the light. The Arrow Lightning's voice of thunder spoke, and The Thin Dark Wind moved.
Those were given by the Long Life Happiness One.
The one who stands above, crescent moon shining in the dawn. Colors of the Rainbow appearing in the east. What the Long Life Happiness One has done to create us is being re-enacted again and again.
As the singer chants over and over again, "these are given", People remember that creation was GIVEN! The voice of the corn ripener beetle was given, their voices reminding us of corn ripening.
The rattle for singing, the herbs, the corn pollen, the white corn meal,the clouds and rain,lightning and thunder, these are given. They are the means of sustenance and healing.
All are sacred, and are just some of the things that are provided.
Sacredness is embedded in all of creation because the Creator touches it. The Giver Of All, has made it possible to work with pollen and medicines to bring balance back.


I am what I am, Walk in beauty!
