3144. Wisdom of the ages © Bruce Goodman 14 March 2025

It is more than exciting. Shining Talon, a chief of an indigenous tribe, is about to come to our school to talk to my class. We can ask him any question we want. Shining Talon’s indigenous tribe have lived in this area for several thousand years. They know every square inch of land, they know what the local weather will do, they read the sky, they read the growth and flowering of plants, they interpret every mood of every season. Shining Talon’s coming to our class can only increase our awareness of how we must be sensitive to what nature is trying to tell us about our care for the planet. Here he is now! I get to ask the first question! Me: Shining Talon, my question is very simple, but hopefully your answer will open up for us the wisdom of the ages: What is the weather going to do today? Shining Talon: I don’t know. This morning I didn’t look at the weather on the internet. Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story
