Prayer

GREAT SPIRIT
Oh, Great Spirit, bring to our brothers the wisdom of Nature
and the knowledge that if her laws are obeyed this land
will again flourish and grasses and trees will grow as before.
Guide those that through their councils
seek to spread the wisdom of their leaders to all people. Heal the raw wounds of the Earth and restore to our soul the richness
which strengthens men's bodies and makes them wise in their councils. Bring to all the knowledge that great cities live only through the bounty
of the good earth beyond their paved streets and towers of stone and steel.
