       # 2023-07-05 - Great Spirit Prayer by Yellow Hawk
       
       Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, whose breath gives
       life to all the world. Hear me; 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.
       
       Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes
       towards me. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf
       and rock. Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of
       helping others. Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming
       me. 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.
