12 The Vision in the Lodge

Ask me not my name or nation,

Ask me not my past or station,

But stay and listen to my story

Listen to my mystic calling

How I saw my path unrolling,

How I dreamed my dream of patience,

Dreamed how all might work together

Make their laws and peace together

Make their lodges one great cover,

And a mighty people fashion

Who will walk and seek with passion

Seek the justice of the mountains

Seek the wisdom of the forests

Seek the vision of the deserts

Then bring all this learning home.

Then we light the redstone peace pipe,

Pass the pipe that makes the peace talk,

Lets us speak of valorous virtue.

Pass the red bowled, smoking spirit

Declaim our noble deeds and dreams.

Let speakers see themselves in others,

Let listeners listen to their brothers,

Listen to sisters and their mothers,

To the dwellers in the forest

And the spirits of the sky.

Our tales are strong and live forever

Tales of luck and skill and cunning

When the White Hare she came running,

When the cackling Crow was flying,

When the Great Black Bear was charging,

When in War we faced our foes.

Speak to all, for all are brothers,

Speak of deeds and dreams of valour,

Breathe the smoke that soothes the soul.

—W.S. Harte,

The Hobowakan
