Jaweena's prayer

Jaweena's prayer

A Poem by Jaweena...Eileen Quintana
"

I pray at the mouth of Spanish Fork canyon every morning....

"
Shi Diyin Dine' - My Holy Ones

I am in awe of your creations...

I offer my corn pollen in gratitude to the

 beautiful mountains, rivers, plants, animals.
 
Their nurturing, loving care teaches me how to conduct myself

within the circle of life.

I am your baby,

you have watched me from birth

 blessed by the sacred elements.
 
Shi' Diyin Dine' take care of all of us

five fingered beings.

We have lost our way

help us to find our path back to you.
 
Shield us from harm

within your embrace.
 
Help us to remember our place-

we are Noohokaa Diyin Dine'
 
holding within our grasp...

the power to change our world in Hozho

in accord with the beauty that surrounds us.
 
Mother Earth,

Father Sky
 
protect my family

relatives and all the five fingered today

 especially the children and elders.

Help us to remember that we are responsible

for protecting this beautiful home

you have provided.

Hozho Nahasglii

Hozho Nahasglii!

We humans have surely lost our way in modern times, this is a powerful poem, it gave me goosebumps reading it. I think I needed this message today, as I am in the process of taking on more responsibility of protecting our beautiful land.

Spanish Fork Canyon, a beautiful place, thank you for reminding me of the beauty of the land there. As if encouraged by your words, the land reached out and touched me gently. May the land teach us once again to find our lost path.

I am in awe of the utter purity of this prayer. It sent shivers up my spine to read this. I felt the absolute energy of the landscape you spoke of and the Great Spirit you spoke to. I have found many prayers to be hollow with out the force of the speakers soul and the blessings of the creator they speak to. You have both hear--I am in awe. I really liked the lines "Help us to remember that we are responsible/ for protecting this beautiful home." It seems that so many in this nation forget this today and it makes my heart heavy. It is good to be reminded of this truth once more. Light and love to you from the forests of Pennsylvania.
