Oh great spirit who dwells in the sky
Lead us to the path of peace and understanding
Let us all live together as brother and sisters
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…
*…and every body. (*Urs Balboa)
Native American prayer for peace
