     In our singing ceremonies:
      
     our clan                                                                   
     visualizes blue light
      
     as the form
     which makes it easy
     for healing to enter the body.
     (as a practical matter)
      
               Singing water songs
               until the middle of the night, tonight.
      
               I sing about a blue light,
               which shines through the blue window
               of the soul
               in flight
               with its dreams
               and its songs
               and its art............and outside it is clear and wet.
      
               (is that all right?)
      
               ....and this Blue Line
               lays along the spine
               (you build it as you sing)
               and you let it settle there
               as if it were a  stretch and breath....
      
               and it protects the internal organs
     (until it is leaked away).
      
               I sang with a wooden rattle
               Mr. Gray Antelope gave to me some years ago.

               I will take the Stick
               I have in my dreams
               and I will touch the man
               who talks
               who talks his dog talk 
               here.
      
               My medicine is the Sacred   
               Spirit.
               How will the man with his     
               dog-talk answer me?
      
               Now is the time
               the Dog-man will hear     
               us....
               all of us.
               (Now is the time)
               The Thunder is heavy,
               and we are talking to one   
               another
               and the Rains
               are nearby.
               The Spirit is in my body
               I take my life from the Sky
               and we will talk to one 
               another.
