Whispered Wisdom

Whispered Wisdom is a celebration of the incredible beauty of nature. The photos were taken by Mary Summer Rain, whose powerful and lyrical descriptions of the Colorado mountains set the background and the tone for her writings about her experiences with No-Eyes, her beloved Indian shaman teacher. Accompanying the photos is a collection of verse, prose, vignettes, and sayings taken from her woods-walking journal. Together the pictures and the words weave wonderful tapestry of the many faces of Mother Earth, and the wisdom that nature has to teach humanity. Here is an inspiring and enlightening addition to the works of this unique writer.

To my beloved Grandmother Earth-

For the primeval Wisdom you have whispered from you sweet and
gentle Breath. . .your timeless Wind,
For the warm Comfort you have radiated from your tender and
sensitive Heart. . .your shimmering Core,
For the laughing Happiness you have sung from you coursing
and eternal Life Force. . .your singing Streams,
For the deep Sensitivities you have instilled from your dignified
and Lustrous Spirit. . .your moonlit Mountains,
And for the Universal Truths you have revealed from your aged and
ancient Bones. . .your Golden Canyons.
Each evening as my prayer smoke rises into the receiving night
sky, I give thanks
for the sharing
of your ancient
whispered wisdom
