Veterans Day USA O Beautiful America

O beautiful for spacious Skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountains' Majesty
Above the fruited plain.
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:

That there's some corner of a foreign field

That is for ever England. There shall be

In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;

A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,

Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,

A body of England's, breathing English air,

Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,

A pulse in the eternal mind, no less

Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England

given;

Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;

And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, 

In hearts at peace, under an English heaven

Rupert Brooks 1914

Thought for the week..Let Your Heart SOAR

The beauty of the Trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky.
the rhythm of the sea, 
speaks to me.

The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the morning,
the dewdrop on the flower,
 speaks to me.

The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away,
 they speak to me.

And my heart soars.

NEW MOON FEB 4th 2019 MONEY/PROSPERITY SPELL with good intentions

          

Tonight put a bag or envelope containing some silver coins, (it is not the amount that is important but the INTENTION is) on  a SOUTH FACING WINDOW SILL, then :
  On the night of the New Moon (Monday Feb 4th)


Look up at the first sliver of the Moon,
Maybe burn some incense (Jasmine is good) and say

Kindly Moon, 
As you grow,
See great riches my way flow.
Watching Moon, more and more money 
And good fortune,
Comes in through my door. "

Place the money under your doormat (outside preferred) and leave it there until the Full Moon.
On the Full Moon remove the money from under the mat and keep in a safe place until you need to do the spell again, on a New Moon.

THIS should BE DONE ONCE ANY DAY AFTER THE NEW MOON HAS RISEN.  EVERY MONTH.

A coat of many colors...Embrace the day..Thought for today

O our mother the earth, O our father the sky,
Your children are we, and with tired backs
We bring you gifts that you love.
Then weave for us a garment of brightness,
May the warp be the white light of morning.

May the weft be the red light of evening

May the fringes be the falling rain,

May the border be the standing rainbow.
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness
That we may walk fittingly where the grass is green,
O our mother the earth, O our father the sky.


Tewa Pueblo prayer

LISTEN to the wind, talk to nature..THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Listen to the air.
you can hear it, feel it, 
smell it, taste it.
Woniya wakan, the holy air, 
which renews all by its breath.
Wonya wakan, spirit life, breath, renewal.
It means all that.
We sit together, don't touch,
but something is there,
we feel it between us,
as a presence.
A good way to start thinking about nature,
talk about it.
Rather talk to it,
talk to the rivers, to the lakes,
to the winds,
as to our relatives.



John Lame Deer

PRAYER FOR THE WEB AND THE PEOPLE ON IT

Ho, Wiyopeyata ouye, power of the setting sun we call on you
Have pity on us that the people may live.
Wakinya, thunder beings of the black west, we call on you
who ride the black minne wichoni, the life-giving rains.
For long years , the way of the people has been weak and 
there has been fear. Many have said that the red road would
disappear and that the six powers and Wakan Tanka would turn 
their faces from us.
It is true that many of the old ways have been lost. But
just as the life-giving rains restore the earth after the drought ,
 so your power will restore the Way and give it new life.
We ask this not only for the red people but for all
the people that they may live. In ignorance and carelessness they have walked upon Ina Maka, our Mother. They did not understand
that they are part of all beings, the four-legged, the winged,
grandfather rock, the tree people, and our star brothers. Now the
 earth and all our relations are crying out. They cry for the help
of all people.
