Hey everybody, flap here. I put this prayer in Poetic Freedom board a couple years ago, but am putting it on this board too.---- "Grandfather, you have been always. Before you, nothing has been. There is nothing to pray to but you. The Star nations of the Universe are yours, and yours are the grasses of the Earth. Day in, day out, you are the life of things. You are older than all need, older than all pain. Grandfather, all over the world the faces of All are the same, your children. In tenderness they have come above the ground. Look upon your children, your eyes, that we may walk the good road to the Day of Quiet. Teach me to walk on the soft Earth relative to all that live. Sweeten my heart, fillme with Light, give me the strength to understand, and the eyes to See. Help me, for without you I am nothing".-------------------Black Elk was an Indian chieftain who was old by the thirties. I do not know his tribe. Much love to you all, flapjack |
