Judge James Boasberg forgot the ~70% of his self that is water
and didn’t make the decision to protect the sacred Missouri River waters
(Mni Šoše).
It seems that President Obama has remembered the ~70% of his self that is water and is encouraging the protection of the sacred Missouri River waters
(Mni Šoše).
May the dogs remember the joy of lapping water from a bowl.
May the North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple
remember the ~70% of his self that is water
and make the decision to protect the sacred Missouri River waters
(Mni Šoše).
May the Morton County, ND, Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier
remember the ~70% of his self that is water
and make the decision to protect the sacred Missouri River waters
(Mni Šoše).
May the Chairman & CEO of Energy Transfer Partners, Kelcy Lee Warren
remember the ~70% of his self that is water
and make the decision to protect the sacred Missouri River waters
(Mni Šoše).
Since these men may not hear the words,
the ~70% of water in my body
appeals to the ~70% of water in their bodies
and in every body,
I know it sounds crazy
but I’m really talking to myself,
wait, the water is talking with itself.
Yet not just itself
because water has oxygen in it
and oxygen is part of air
and air is part of Spirit.
May the Spirit in the ~70% of Water talk us off the ledge.
May the Spirit in the ~70% of Water in all of us
remember the feeling
of washing, cleaning, drinking,
the feeling of Water on a 100-degree day,
what it feels like when the throat is parched
from talking to itself and trying to convince itself
for so long.
May the ~70% of Water that is part of Mother Earth
remind us who we all are.
