MedicineSinging: Mortar and Pestle
MedicineSinging: Mortar and Pestle
Medicine Singing can heal, just as the heart behind the hand putting pestle to mortar is something you can feel. Mixing herbs or jungle plants, mixing them and bringing life to those receiving its powdered power or timely tincture – the mixture of different species of plants as it becomes the mixture of all things human needs for healing. The medicinal blending of cultures, tongues, races, and places that began hundreds of thousands of years ago, when interactions of the elements of creation created content and context for Original anticipation, and Original participation! Before the creation of time Or the First, Second, Third, or Fourth Peoples all was Spirit to spirit. But some have forgotten, some can no longer hear it. Creation and Creator did not create better and less nor owner and owned. Creation created water and breath sacred species and sacred sites and places and spaces, one and all before the Fall - Can you recall? No short nor tall or one better than all – No borders or barriers no diseases and their carriers – Yet remnants remain like work clothes and their stains. Something left of the original grace to remind us of the laboring Spirit, how every inch of earth is sacred space. Yes, each and every place! Where pestle and mortar blend different Elements of creation, to create potent tinctures and medicines that when blended, heal and when separated or divided, not blended yet offends like hatred and bias blend… creates bitterness to no good end Cultures in developing dialogue, Blending, now can create new stories of creation and even One Nation of Creation. The relation of one spirit to Spirit is the renewing and original spark of creation. Sacred, Holy, humbling, Spirit revealing, Mortar to pestle Medicinal transformation With vibration and movement and tone… is creations Creator creating Medicine singing From the transformed Sacred Bundle A mixture of all things human and Spirit Created as Indigenous to this beloved earth and sky. Aho. Amen. Mitakuye Oyasin. All my relatives.
