Leader:
Inside each raindrop swims the sun.
Inside each flower breathes the moon.
Participants:
Inside me dwell ten million stars,
Leader:
One for each of my ancestors:
Participants:
The elk, the raven, the mouse, the man,
The flower, the coyote, the lion, the fish.
Leader:
Ten million different stars am I,
Participants:
But only one spirit connecting all.
