Whispers to the Great Spirit

To you,
Spirit of Life, Love and Eternity,
whose breath is the freshness of the morning mist,
and whose gentle hand paints the dusk with fire,
I open my heart to hear Your song as I walk
upon the path where we’ve all walked
and we all will.

My prayer:
To see and appreciate the beauty of nature,
with eyes not blurred by judgment,
so I can see the sacredness of all things,
the stone, the river, the wing, the seed,
and that my prayer can move as I move.

My wish:
To learn to listen,
as the forests listen to the wind,
and not to speak with thunder,
but with the quiet truth of water
that shapes the mountain without anger.

My desire:
Is to gain the wisdom to be humble
and not seek to be better than my brothers,
but to stand beside them,
for we are the threads
of the robe that you have weaved
to cloak eternity.

May my hands proffer kindness to all,
and my words soothe ailing souls,
as I walk through countryside and cities,
may my steps leave only the echo of gratitude
upon Your Earth, alive and blessed.

I lift my heart to ask Your guidance,
when it is my turn to pass,
so that when the last light fades,
I may return to You,
having learned to love mankind
and the world that You have made.
