We have a beautiful mother
Her hills are buffaloes
Her buffaloes hills
We have a beautiful mother
Her oceans are wombs
Her wombs oceans
We have a beautiful mother
Her teeth the white stones at the edge of the water the summer grasses her plentiful hair We have a beautiful mother
Her green lap immense
Her brown embrace eternal
Her blue body everything we know.

When you see water in a stream you say:
oh, this is stream water;
When you see water in the river you say:
oh, this is water of the river;
When you see ocean water you say:
This is the ocean’s water!
But actually water is always only itself and does not belong to any of these containers though it creates them.
And so it is with you.
