As I sat down on this calm, hot day, a breeze blew through. Mom spoke to me through the music of the chimes. I’m thankful. –Margie

What sacred and blessed place. I have always been drawn to the Black Hills. I come here for spiritual renewal and direction. This sanctuary is another sacred spot for me. –Ann K.

Listen to the breeze, it calls to you
Listen to the grass, it grows for you
Listen to the water, it flows for you
On this our Mother Earth, listen back and respect her
For we can never repay what she has given us
