Prayer for Snow


Great Spirit, that which moves all that which moves
It is chilly and I am concerned
I share this with you,
Trusting in your Wisdom.

We are still without Snow
Here in the North lands by the Sea.
I am worried for the animals, the plant people
For Mother Earth has no blanket.

Great Spirit, that which moves all that which moves
I am most grateful for the winter
The chance to slow down, taking time to reflect.
Please may we have Snow~

Great Spirit, that which moves all that which moves
Thank you.
I feel Blessed, trusting in your Wisdom.
Trusting in the changing Seasons.

For Sarah Delano...You will Be Missed


I am a sadness, Great Spirit
A friend, left this Earth realm.
I will miss her bright light,
The sound of her sweet smile.

I ask that you watch over,
And guide my friend to what waits for us all.
Life is a Cycle,
We all will travel full Circle.
Today, this does not make it easier.

Gone from sight the shine in her Eyes.
Care for her Great Spirit,
She brings laughter and a brightness with her.
I am a sadness.

I have a Sadness, Great Spirit,
I will miss her.
I have a Joy, my friend is with You.
One more to watch over friends.

I am grateful for the time we shared.
Till our paths may cross again.
I have a sadness, mixed with a joy.
Guide my friend Home, Great Spirit
She is in Your Hands.

Great Spirit, that which moves all that which moves
I am Grateful for my Life.
Thank you, for all,
That is part and parcel~
If I had not the tears,
I'd not know the Sunshine.
Laughter and Sorrow,
Thank you~

Great Spirit, that which moves all that which moves.
Guide me to share what gifts I have been given
Come sit at my table,
Let me hold you, share in your joy
Laugh with you, cry in your sorrow.
Feed your Soulheart.
Thank you friends.
Grateful in abundance,
Great Spirit, that which moves all that which moves.

Blessing for the Old and the New


Great Spirit, we stand today
A thin veil between the passing year
Awaiting the coming new.

To add to this great Mystery of turning calendar pages
Great Spirit, you have gifted us a Blue Moon.
Something that comes usually but once a year.
To this is added a sky wonder of a Lunar Eclipse.
Reminding us there is much old business to attend.

Great Spirit, Father Time, guide us with Courage,
That we may look at what no longer serves us,
Us as singular beings and US as collective beings.
Guide us toward the highest good.
May we be grateful for the teachings of this past year,
Some bringing sorrow, others joy and laughter.

Great Spirit, Father Time, guide us with Hope and Open Hearts,
For there is much wonder and mystery before us.
Teach us the ways of looking behind for the growth,
Not in anger and hurt.
Teach and guide us that Love, Peace, and Compassion
Are the path.
Guide us with and in Kindness.

Great Spirit, Father Time,
We are children coming to the party
This eve, full of excitement for what may be;
Guide us to hold that place of excitement and awe
A place that has no expectations.
All is Mystery and Wonder.
Father Time, we thank you for this last year
With all that we lived.
We look forwarded to the new image of you as a baby.
How wonderful to be reminded that sometimes, something dies
For the new to come in to being.
Thank you Great Spirit, Father Time
May the New Year bring Prosperity, Health and Love
To all.

the Heart is Full!


My heart is full! Great Mother, I have made new friends, traveled, received many treasures, and found some quiet for my Soul. Great Mother, I was given an opportunity to understand how small, I am. Yet, how important a part each of us plays in the ripple of action. Laying in your arms of warm ocean, I could feel the life blood. Though I was far from the place I call home, I swam in the same ocean, walked and laughed on the same sands, that have traveled round the world and back again. I have been kissed by the Sun, and made new of Spirit, by your Grace. Tasted fruit, that gave pause, yet the abundance of what grew so readily at hand; took my breath away. Thank you Great Mother. Thank you also Great Mother that you kept the Captain, crew and all of us on the flight free from harm. To this day Great Mother, I am in awe every time I lift from the ground in flight and land once again to touch your belly. Great Mother My heart is full! I am blessed. I am most Grateful for your love. Blessings to you.
