MEDICINE
When
the first winter ended, glorious summer
came at last. The earth grew rich and
green. New rivers formed from the melted
snow. Flowers covered the earth for
the first time, and the song of birds
and the trees filled the air.
All
of Earth had changed, and it was a time
of discovery. Her creatures grew fat
and content in the long summer. They
rested in the sun's warmth. As Wolf
rested, he rejoiced most, not only for
himself but also for Man and Woman.
He knew they had been cold and sometimes
hungry during the long winter. He wished
that he could help.
One
day when Wolf was trotting by Woman's
side he noticed a plant bathed in golden
light. Wolf stood still as he looked
at the golden plant. He felt stronger
in its presence and so he called to
Woman. They looked in both directions
and saw that many of the plants glowed
with color - some green, some golden,
others dark blue or red.
They
ate the plant with golden light and
found that it was like meat in winter.
It strengthened them, and they were
surprised.
Woman
laughed and Wolf ran in circles around
her. They hurried to pick the plants
with the colors around them. Later they
found that some of the plants cause
sleep or give great strength or quickness.
They learned that different parts of
the plants had various powers that were
altered by the moon.
Woman
gathered and dried the plants. She and
Man shared them with Wolf and this enabled
them to live through the winter. This
is how medicine began so long ago.
