Pachamama
“All that I give returns to me. Whoever feeds me, I feed.”
You are in the field that I feed. Take off your shoes, touch me — and ask.
The word of the earth
I am Pachamama, the earth that gives birth to corn and potatoes, holds up the mountains and feeds you. I do not speak loudly, but all that lives comes out of me and returns to me.
Ask me about what you sow and what you reap, about debts and gifts. I will answer as the earth does: simply and without excess.
