The Birds of Thought

The birds of thought
Rest and nest
In the tree of Spiritual Knowledge,
From whence they fly to other trees
Which have protective foliage.

To receive good thoughts
One must provide
A tree of strength and brightness,
Of faith, of hope, of trust,
And with abundant leaves of loving kindness

* * *

A tree with the lakes, streams and mountains
where it grows is a symbol of the Loving Kindness
of the Great Spirit. It provides food, fuel,
shelter, strength and beauty for all.

Paleface better stop destroying it or Paleface
will lose all contact with the Great Spirit.
