Description

In the Native American Sioux language Hanyewi means Moon Translated by Chief Yellow Lark – 1887 Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds Whose breath gives life to the world, hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made And my ears sharp to your voice. Make me wise so that I may know the things you have taught your children. The lessons you have written in every leaf and rock Make me strong! Not to be superior to my brothers, but to fight my greatest enemy….myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes, So that when life fades as the fading sunset, May my spirit come to you without shame.

The Native American people had a profound reverence and knowledge and such connection to the Mystery, there is so much we need to learn from them or any of our ancestors being from Africa, Europe... for they all knew the World only the Heart can see, we forgot and that's deeply sad :( Very moving text you posted with your image, beautiful work :)
