Grandfather

This was sent to me in December of 2002.
Thank you so much and hope it was ok to post
this on my site, due to person who sent to
me is not Black Elk.
If you wish I remove this I will indeed to that.
Don't know how to get ahol of you.

"Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer. All things belong to you -- the two-legged, the four-legged, the wings of the air, and all green things that live.

"You have set the powers of the four quarters of the earth to cross each other. You have made me cross the good road and road of difficulties, and where they cross, the place is holy. Day in, day out, forevermore, you are the life of things."
