We have forgotten who we
are.
We have sought only our
own security.
We have exploited simply
for our own ends.
We have distorted our knowledge.
We have abused our power.
Great Spirit,
whose dry lands thirst,
Help us to find the way
to refresh your lands.
Great Spirit,
whose waters are choked
with debris and pollution,
help us to find the way
to cleanse your waters.
Great Spirit,
whose beautiful earth grows
ugly with misuse,
help us to find the way
to restore beauty to your handiwork.
Great Spirit,
whose creatures are being
destroyed,
help us to find a way to
replenish them.
Great Spirit,
whose gifts to us are being
lost in selfishness and corruption,
help us to find the way
to restore our humanity.
Oh, Great Spirit,
whose voice I hear in the
wind,
whose breath gives life
to the world,
hear me;
I need your strength and
wisdom.
May I walk in Beauty.
