near our homes and in the deep forests. We are glad they are still
here and we hope that it will always be so.
We are all thankful to the powers we know as the Four Winds.
We hear their voices in the moving air as they refresh us and purify
the air we breathe. They help us to bring the change of seasons.
From the four directions they come, bringing us messages and giv-
ing us strength.
We now send greetings and thanks to our eldest Brother, the
Sun. Each day without fail he travels the sky from east to west,
bringing the light of a new day. He is the source of all the fires of
life.
We give thanks to our oldest Grandmother, the Moon, who
lights the night-time sky. She is the leader of woman all over the
world, and she governs the movement of the ocean tides. By her
changing face we measure time, and it is the Moon who watches
over the arrival of children here on Earth.
We give thanks to the Stars who are spread across the sky
like jewelry. We see them in the night, helping the Moon to light
the darkness and bringing dew to the gardens and growing things.
When we travel at night, they guide us home.
We gather our minds to greet and thank the enlightened
Teachers who have come to help throughout the ages. When we
forget how to live in harmony, they remind us of the way we were
instructed to live as people.
Now we turn our thoughts to the gifts of Creation. Everything
we need to live a good life is here on this Mother Earth. For all
the love that is still around us, we gather our minds together as
one and send our choicest words of greetings and thanks to the
Creator, or Great Spirit.
Now our minds are one.
