“Gossamer threads of life hold me, perched between Earth and Sky, Weaving the web, Dreaming the dream, Through the two worlds I will fly. With you as my muse, Mother, I create the substance of dreams, Allowing the artist within me To fashion my life with esteem. I mold the clay of experiences into a sacred medicine bowl, Capturing the essence of living as it sings deep in my soul. Your secrets of creation, Mother, Have taught me when to destroy, the chains that have bound me, limiting the expression of my joy. You have taught me how to labor, Giving birth to the visions within, Setting them free like silver arrows, Kindling the fire of creation again.” ~ From the 13 Original Clan Mothers
