(I dreamt this prayer last night.)
I stand with my feet on the earth and know that all that I am or hope to be comes from Her.
I am grateful for my life, for this body, for the flame inside this body.
I will tend this flame with respect, tenderness and compassion.
I am here because my Ancestors were here, and sacrificed for my survival.
We are here because our Ancestors were here, and sacrificed for our survival.
I am here because my Ancestors ARE here, and want me to survive.
We are here because our Ancestors ARE here, and want us to survive.
I am here so that my children and grandchildren and all of my descendants will know that I loved them, that I will always love them, without boundaries of time or distance.
We are here so that our children and grandchildren and all of our descendants will know that we loved them, that we will always love them, without boundaries of time or distance.
Today, we will be warriors of peace.
Today, we will protect, with love, the gifts entrusted to us with love.
