Tuesday, 4 October 05 :: i've been listening to this all day.

alaskan prayer, by the glacial erratics.

great spirit of the mountains
great spirit in the trees
you flow along the shoreline
you whisper in the breeze
you warm me with your sunshine
you cleanse me with your rain
your drops scatter around me
just to rise and fall again.

oh great spirit
around me and within
blowing in and out of me on every breath
oh great spirit
the beginning and the end
you are the source of all of life and death.

great spirit of the soil
great spirit of the stones
you form the world around me
you are the flesh and bones
of earth of man and woman
of every living thing
i raise my voice in reverance
to your mystery i sing.

oh great spirit
around me and within
blowing in and out of me on every breath
oh great spirit, the beginning and the end
you are the source of all of life and death.

great spirit of the ice field
great spirit of the snow
you send your long arms long reaching
through the valleys far below
carving path through walls of stone
as you slowly move along
your grinding and your creaking weave a suttle song.

oh great spirit
around me and within,
blowing in and out of me on every breath
oh great spirit,
the beginning and the end,
you are the source of all of life and death.

flowing in and out of me on every breath.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
