Words from an Elder about Beedaubin

“Life. That is what you feel. Beedahbun’s life.

When that light breaks on that horizon, you stand here, be part of it, you feel life comin’ back.

All around you, life coming’ back. Ride in on that light.

Whole universe shrugging’ its shoulders, waking’ up together. That’s what you feel. The wakin’ up inside. You come here. Become part of it.

Walk around the rest of the day being’ part of it too. Never get lost.

No one ever got lost being’ part of somethin’. Only when they’re not. Beedahbun connects you to life. Them colors become a part of you, them trees a part of you, rocks a part of you, water a part of you, animals a part of you, everything.

And you…you…you’re a part of all of it too.

It’s Beedaubin. That first light comes through your eyes moves through you, all of you, filling you with light.

The light a life, all around you and you forever.”
