justfishin Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 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 your 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. - Chief Yellow Lark - Lakota - Quote
Guest avid Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 That was beautiful. Native American spirituality is a study in beauty, harmony, and generosity of spirit. For as long as space endures And for as long as conscious beings remain Until then may I, too, abide To dispel the misery of the world His Holiness the Dalai Lama Quote
