Prayers and Realizations by the Fire
I marked this past Friday night by spending time praying beside the fire with the personal prayer pipe I keep. To my sorrow, too much time has passed since I last did this as for a long time I fear I was a bit lost and wandering about the wilderness. However, the prayer was filled [...]
Prayers for Eldest
Great Spirit, My eldest daughter is in need with me not sure what I can do to help. She is lost in the great wilderness and needs to find her way … in a manner that works and is right for her. Protect her and guide her … and may she learn from the lessons [...]
A Quick Prayer
Great Spirit, I come to you this morning and ask that I embrace the strength within myself. I seek to walk the red road, exercise, eat better, and become healthy so that I can better do those things that are necessary. May I look to each sunrise and embrace each day as the precious gift [...]
Fire of the Lodge of a Whispering Earth
This evening, the fire was lit for the Lodge of a Whispering Earth. I came as part of private prayer ceremony held in the heart of the Whispering Grove in celebration of Samhain and the turning of the sacred wheel of life.

When these two pieces were brought together, the heat from both rekindled the flames of both until both burned together in a new flame that shown brightly as it reached skyward into the heavens. This happened [...]
A Prayer of Thanks
Great Spirit, As the community fire dances and sings before me, I offer up prayers to you. I honor both you and that which you have created. I am thankful for my place here upon Mother Earth and my Natural World kin. I am thankful for my walk as a Guardian of both. I am [...]
Stay The Path
Today, I received news from my step-sister that my step-father (who raised me as if I am his own son) has been diagnosed with colon cancer. Although they believe they have caught it early, it still is not easy to accept. My first thought is why is it that every time I begin to find [...]
Just Do It
Have you ever had a moment in life where you know what needs to be done and even how to do it, yet you are so use to doing things another way and so get in your own way? Life his brought me to a point where I am a leader with a couple of [...]
