Indian Prayer for Peace
Oh, Great Spirit who dwells in the sky,
lead us to the path of peace and understanding,
let all of us live together as brothers and sisters.
Our lives are so short here, walking upon Mother Earth's surface.
Let our eyes be opened to all the blessings you have given us.
Please hear our prayers, Oh, Great Spirit.
*"As one, we must learn to walk in a sacred manner. Our precious Earth Mother longs for us to awaken.
When we make ourselves pure, we bring in the light that assists her in her own healing process.
She calls to us now - we must listen."
Take your moments here and store them for the dark winter days and long nights ahead; they will paint your dreams and your visions will unfold, even if you cannot remember them! Take courage from here and allow your life to flow without fear.
The Cherokee have learned that all life moves in a great cycle and everything returns to where it begins. If your faith is weak I give you mine to hold to until the dust is out of your eyes. Look around you and see only your blessings and the sky will open its store house upon you and yours. Walk in respect of all life and yours will be free from burdens and pain. Be caring and nurturing to all creation and you will never fear death. Breathe in life from here and fill your heart with the wisdom of our Ancient Ones, and true enlightenment will come.
Now you will feel no rain,
*"Where all answers reside-truth-wholeness-perfection-
it is within you,
in truth, you are the center."
*"The ancient ones
-those unseen ones of the light-
are guiding this earth walk-
surrounding us with love.
It is only for us to become aware.
It is time."
*"A dream that each might walk in the light-
that each might know
"the center,"
and that each might express in his or her own unique,
beautiful way totally from this center.
Individual expression through the understanding of
unity - oneness - wholeness.
This is the dream
-the vision -
I see."
Native Prayer
for each of you will be shelter for the other
Now you will feel no cold
for each of you will be warmth for the other
Now there is no more loneliness
for each of you will be companion for the other
Now you are two persons
but there is only one life before you
Go now to your dwelling to enter into
the days of your life together
And may your days be good
and long upon the earth
Aho! Mitakuye Oyasin
WADO!*"To all things - to all creatures - we are related. They offer us so much-so freely. To each. I am thankful."
