Ancient Indian Proverb adapted by M.S.
Comment(s):
Treat the Earth Well is an ancient prayer-proverb from Southwestern United States. The words remind us that the earth is sacred and worthy of love and respect. In this era of global warming, the proverb challenges us, as temporary residents of the land, to be diligent stewards on behalf of our children. To enhance the performance, the use of native drum, rainstick and windchimes could be utilized.
