For Freda

1/12/2018

 
On January 1, 2018 this world said farewell to one of the kindest, funniest, wisest and intelligent Anishinabekweg. Her name was Freda McDonald and she taught me so many things about what it means to live in a respectful and caring way. She taught me if I ever had trouble sharing my voice...to remember to just sing...to just sing as loud as I could. 
I wrote this poem to honour her...in appreciation of all that she gave and shared with so many people. 

For Freda

She laughs ribbons of light, revealing the magic and beauty in everything.

She braids philosophies of kindness, humility and courage, extending an unbreakable line to all humanity.

She speaks currents of warmth and generosity, rising gentle waves of dignity and love over mending hearts.

She moves and the earth is thankful to carry her.

She sings and the stars are thankful to welcome her home.
