Sing a song for Me. It can only be a happy song. None of these slow-moving lofty songs for Me. Give Me something hearty and spirited. Not a moody piece, well, unless it’s a happy mood. Let’s get some rhythm going here. Let’s make it a knee-slapping song, one you want to get up and dance to! Enough somber serious music. Let’s have some élan! Something that will wake everyone up. Let’s have happy day music, some get out of bed music. Let this music accompany your day without a chance that you can get it out of your system. Let’s get a beat and unusual musical instruments and instrumentation. Give Me something you’ve never given Me before.
I am not a stiff-backed God. I am not always so serious as I’m made out to be. I’m a fun-loving kind of God. Not exactly a straw-hat guy who does a tap dance, no, not that, yet, nor am I a slow pokey kind of dance God, nor do I do wild acrobatic tricks, though I could, I could. I could dance My dance on and off-stage. I would be an unforgettable dancer.
If I were a boat, I would be a sailboat who sails through life. I suppose I might be thought of as a steamship or luxury liner. I might like to be a ferry boat or even an ark. A canoe sounds good to Me too.
If I were a car, I would be a humble sort of car. No Lamborghinis for Me.
If I were a TV, I would be a round one that could be seen from wherever you happen to be.
If I were a book, you would find some good laughs in it. The book of Me would be a page-turner and My pages well-thumbed.
Well, what would I not be?
Oak Flat is one of our religious places where our Gaan – spiritual deities and Holy People – reside. Apache people have lived, prayed, and died in the Oak Flat Area since time immemorial. We are saddened that Congress, through an 11th hour rider, has ignored the will of the people. We are concerned for our children who may never see or practice their religion in their rightful place of worship. We are worried for the children of southeast Arizona who may have to find new places to live to drink clean water. And we are gravely concerned for the American voter whose voice continues to be ignored. However, the Apache people will not remain silent. We are committed to shining light on the Land Exchange and the proposed mine until we have no breath.
