HONORING THE
sacred
A Place of Peace on the Path to Healing
Let us know peace.
For as long as the moon shall rise, For as long as the rivers shall flow, For as long as the sun shall shine, For as long as the grass shall grow, Let us know peace.
— Cheyenne Prayer
Fill us with the Light.
Give us the strength to understand, and the eyes to see. Teach us to walk the soft Earth as relatives to all that live. — Sioux 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 superior to my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Seek the wonder of life and love, For it lasts but a short time. Open your heart to the unknown, though it may bring fear or pain, believe that the Creator will guide you, for there are grand rewards in mystery.
— Blackfoot
Sacred Spirit, Sacred one,
Teach us love, compassion,
and honor. That we may heal the earth and heal each other.
— Ojibway Prayer
Follow your dreams to fields unknown to where wild flowers sink into the sun. I will meet you there, and we shall dance until the sun rises once again. — Red Deer
