Black Elk’s Prayer | Dreamwalker's Sanctuary

Living Through Extremes

How do we know its time for Change? We are all upon our Path, we are walking it, one step at a time. May we all choose the ‘Good Red Road’

“Hear me, four quarters of the world–a relative I am! Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is!

Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand, that I may be like you. With your power only can I face the winds.

Great Spirit, Great Spirit, my Grandfather, all over the earth the faces of living things are all alike. With tenderness have these come up out of the ground.

Look upon these faces of children without number and with children in their arms, that they may face the wind and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
This is my prayer; hear me now!”

– “Black Elk’s Prayer for All Life

We are the race who are living through extremes,

Changes are afoot beyond anything we dreamed.

Adaptation to a ‘New Normal’ we now must choose

We need to re-think our perceptions or else we may lose

Don’t allow Fear to rule your life

Learn to bring compassion, for it will end much strife

Hold silent vigil for Calm and Peace

Know deep in your heart that all war must cease

Be creative and add to the flow

Pick up the pieces, mend hearts and know

That if we fail in this current World Test

We doom not only ourselves, but all the rest

We make our choices, knowing right from wrong

Bring thoughts of dreams of which we all long

Capture the rainbows after stormy rain

Bring back the laughter, Be happy again.

Paths we all follow are our own to choose

Make a wrong turn and we all could lose

Flow with the current, let it take you down stream

Allow yourself Freedom– To let go and Dream

I have recently been re-reading the Book “ The Turning Point” Creating Resilience in a Time of Extremes, By Gregg Braden. .. I was struck by one chapter ‘The Next Level’, in which Gregg comments upon the ‘Glue’ that holds us all together whether that be one person or a whole city.. That the keys to success is for us to share a common Vision and a Common Bond..

We now have come to that point where WE Choose which way we want our World to unfurl.. I know which kind of Glue I want, And I think most of us on this planet share this same vision .. I hope we begin to make the love Glue stick.

In Love and Light

Enjoy your Week

The above post was first written in 2015…. Seems we are still choosing what kind of glue we wish to hold our communities together… May we all choose wisely xx
I have been absent from WP for a time and I may take a while longer to reply to comments, than normal. Thank you for your patience… Wishing you all a Peaceful weekend.
