A thought for the day, with love and thanks to Mutsuko Johnson
Four Corners
(Native American Indian text)
To the winds of the South.
Great Serpent.
Wrap your coins of light around us.
Teach us to shed the past the way you shed your skin.
To walk softly on the Earth. Teach us the beauty way.
To the winds of the West.
Mother/Sister Jaguar.
Protect our medicine space.
Teach us the way of peace. To live impeccably.
Show us the way beyond death.
To the winds of the North.
Hummingbird, Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Ancient Ones.
Come and whisper to us in the wind.
We honor you who have come before us.
And you who will come after us, our children’s children.
To the winds of the East.
Great Eagle/Condor.
Come to us from the place of the rising Sun.
Keep us under your wing.
Show us the mountains we only dare to dream of.
Teach us to fly wing to wing with Great Spirit.
And to see from the highest perspective, through the eyes of the heart.
Mother Earth.
We’ve Gathered for the healing of all your children.
The Stone People, the Plant people.
The Four-Legged, the two–legged, the creepy crawlers.
We offer prayers for you and ALL our relations.
Holiest of holiest, Source, Creator of all that is.
Father Sun, Grandmother Moon, Star Nations.
Great Spirit. You are who are known by a thousand names.
And you who are the unnameable One.
Thank you for allowing us to sing the song of life yet one more day.
Have a great day.
Love, Peace and Joy.
