Sheep in the pasture
An unfamiliar sight
Something my ancestors thought nothing of
Where do I fit into this vision
Who am I here in the fields of yellow
Travelling along an unknown road
Stone and mortar of days gone by
What is left of this sacred dwelling place
Did my people worship here
In the days of the old ways
It is spring when life begins
New growth, new life
"Unless a grain of wheat dies and falls to the ground"
Why am I here
For what purpose have I travelled to the home of my mothers mother
What will I learn about them
Will they teach me of what I am made
Where does my strength of character come from
Who has paved my way
What warrior women have fought the battles before me
Passing strength forward to the third and fourth generations
It is something extraordinary to go back and walk where your ancestors walked
Look up at the same night sky
Drink from the same well

Look up at the same night sky
Drink from the same well
Breath the same air
