'Paddle To The Sea' - Holling Clancy Holling

In the canoe, the Indian smiled. Once he paused in a stroke, and rested his blade. For that instant he looked like his own Paddle. There was a song in his heart. It crept to his lips, but only the water and the wind could hear.

You, Little Traveler ! You made the Journey, the Long Journey. You now know things I have yet to know. You Little Traveler ! You were given a name in my Father's lodge.. Good Medicine, Little Traveler ! You are a truly a Paddle Person, a Paddle-to-the Sea !

With thank's to Chris Stevens....... Ho-hum !!

...until next time......

Bye Bye
