The Gift
Flute Song - Loons in the Moonlight

Gifts are very important to Native people and all people. There is as much fun in the giving as the receiving.
We all have received a rare gift. Here is one true story of how the gift is passed on and what it means to people. I was teaching as I had done hundreds of times and I always carry a native flute. One of the nuns at the school where I was teaching asked me to go down and play some flute for the boys and girls in the Monisory preschool so I said sure no problem.

So I danced into this preschool playing my flute like Kokopelli and the kids loved it as they always do. The children all laughed and clapped when I was finished. On my way out, I noticed one boy who was obviously very sick drooling on him self and the nun that was holding him. As I was playing myself out of the room I bent down and spun around right next to him and then I was gone on my way to teach a music class at the Jr. High.

After a long day and all the students had left I was packing up my books and in walked the nun who was holding the little boy. She said she wanted to thank me personally before I left for coming over to her class. She had tears in her eyes as she explained to me that little Johnny had cerebral palsy, had no control over his muscles, and was going to die. She said today was the first time she had seen Johnny smile in three months and she thought I was an Angel. I told her “ah shucks mam I'm not an Angel, I’m just a hippie that has been gifted a
magic flute.”
love and peace
