"Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new, sweet earth, and the great silence alone." --Charles Alexander Eastman, OHIYESA SANTEE SIOUX

Each morning a new sun for a new day arises.
Each morning the sweet perfume from the Mother Earth
spreads across the land.
This combination of sun, earth, smell and quiet
is a magic door for me to enter to kneel before the Grandfathers.
The sacred time to commune with the Great Spirit.

Oh Great Spirit,
I humbly stand before You along
with the new sun, the Mother Earth
and the smells of the morning.
I ask You to direct my thinking today.
Let me live in the silence.
Teach me Your wisdom,
Teach me to love my brothers and sisters.
Let me respect the things You have made.
