I went to a Church meeting the other day (at the request of Elders, free food, this pretty lady I like, I knew she would be there, even though, I did not know she was Christian), Igot insulted. I was told natural men (another Native American said this) who honor the earth, are going to hell. So, I sang the congregation a earth spirituality song about photo synthesis and told them my people Paiutes have a covenant with God to protect Mother Earth, for future generations to survive we need to protect the ozone layer and make sure animals and the water is good and so forth. I told them we all come from the same first human beings. As I sang the Elders were proud, I could see how many thought I was bad or even evil. Anyway, by the end, they were respectful. The Methodist preacher said, good thing for the New testament, we each laughed. The Baptist folks, sort of shunned me after that. Next time, I am writing them a song, as they were jamming, but when I do, I am going to GET DOWN.....
