Therese: The vision I see is of an expansive prairie landscape, and winding through the grasslands is a welltrodden path. I walk on a trail that feels ancient, worn down from the animals who have walked on the land for thousands of years. As I gaze ahead, I notice a grove of birch trees shimmering on the horizon, their white bark translucent against the blue sky and their leaves trembling in the gentle wind. I am drawn to the grove of trees, and there sitting in the shade of the trees is White Buffalo Calf Woman. She smiles and welcomes us to sit with her awhile.

White Buffalo Calf Woman: Welcome. I invite you to come sit with me, feel Mother Earth beneath your feet, and listen to her heartbeat. Whenever you take time to be still and connect to the land, you immediately find solace and peace.
