  1. Yes indeed quite beautiful and reminds me of this saying I have at the house and grew up with on the Fridge Door reminder how precious everything truly is! 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂

    Native American Prayer

    Oh, Great Spirit
    Whose voice I hear in the winds,
    And whose breath gives life to all the world,
    hear me, I am small and weak,
    I need your strength and wisdom.
    Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
    the red and purple sunset.
    Make my hands respect the things you have
    made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
    Make me wise so that I may understand the things
    you have taught my people.
    Let me learn the lessons you have
    hidden in every leaf and rock.

    “I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
    but to fight my greatest enemy – myself.”
    Make me always ready to come to you
    with clean hands and straight eyes.
    So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
    my Spirit may come to you without shame.

    (Translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887)
    published in Native American Prayers – by the Episcopal Church.
