In these pages, we will explore some of the language of the Wind. I invite you to listen to what the Wind is saying to you. What words is it teaching you? What pictures is it showing you? What smells is it bringing to your nostrils? What tastes to your tongue? When you touch the Wind, how does it feel? When you sit on its lap or are embraced in its arms, what is that like?

The Wind is your best friend and advocate. The Wind is always there, to hold you and console you. The Wind enjoys guiding you on your journey.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours May the clarity of light be yours May the fluency of the ocean be yours May the protection of the ancestors be yours And so may a slow Wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind your life." John O'Donahue" The Wind gave our children the spirit of light" Chief Seattle "For what is it to die, but to stand in the sun and melt into the Wind" Kahlil Gibran "Since I grew tired of the chase and search, I learned to find; And since the Wind blows in my face, I sail with every Wind."

Shana"To be human is to be where the Wind and water meet" Dale" Only bears can hug the Wind" Yellow Bear by which he means Only those who are their true selves can hug the Wind. Yellow Bear is my self=friend. He often gets distracted by blueberries, those slurpable little berries of flavor that exude the wonder of everything that is delicious. "Blueberry Juice for the Soul" is Yellow Bear's phrase for Spiritual Food because it's really, really tasty like blueberries.
