Quotes by Neil Philip (?)

“DON'T CRY

Dear one, don't cry.
The stars are shining,
Shining with power,
Up in the sky!

Pawnee”

“FIREFLY SONG

Flittering white-fire insect!
Wandering white-fire bug!
Weave little stars about my bed!
Weave little stars into my sleep!
Come, little dancing white-fire bug!
Come, little flitting white-fire beast!
Light me with your white-flame magic,
Your little star-torch.

Ojibwa”

“THE CLOUD-CRADLE

This little baby was given life.
Prayers were sung to make him strong.
Then his mother asked the rain gods
To look after him, his whole life long.
Then she set him in a cloud-cradle,
So that nothing could go wrong.
Safe as the sky in a cradle of clouds,
While mother watches and sings this song.

Acoma”
