Ruffed Grouse Earth Prayer is for a female grouse who
has followed me on my hikes for about four years. I suspect that because I am a wanderer, she senses I am not passing through her territory as quickly as she’d like. Therefore,
she comes out of hiding and runs me off. This prayer is
for her bravery.

Sumac Solace came on a quiet day of remembrance when time ceased when the earth offered her quiet solace for every grief and sadness. Red sumac leaves had fallen in
the night's storm and, with them, the tears of humanity.
This Earth Prayer heals us and brings us home again.

Prayer: noun: an address in any form, whether a request or thanks, directed to the source representing a being that controls part of the universe or life. It may be in words or thoughts. In the 14th century, it was defined as a sense of something above, not overhead but higher.
