invocation of gratitude
I offer my heart's prayer forwards and backwards and to the Seven Directions.
To the Seen and Unseen Ancestors, Guides and Wisdom keepers of fundamental Nature-
I honor and give thanks to the ancient and living Ancestors of the Land which I am blessed to live and create from.
I honor and give thanks to all Indigenous lineages and Peoples of this precious Mother Planet.
Gratitude to our Teachers and Elders for tending to, and teaching with immense grace, the path of Right Relationship and How to Give of Oneself in Service to Life.
A deep bow of respect to you.
Gratitude to all Plant Teachers and the Animal Relatives for your gifts -
for continually opening our hearts and higher vision.
Thank you for helping us realize the endless Nature of Creativity and the Holy Mystery that moves through all.
Thank You, Grandmothers and Grandfathers,
for making a way for the awakening of the Two-Legged People.
Gratitude to the Infinite Goddess, the Mystery, the Beloved - All Cosmic Bodies and Elemental Forces-
Thank you to and for my family - to my own blood lineage as well as the Star and Spirit Lineages.
With each day may we become more a hollow bone, an open window through which Truth and Beauty flows.
May we take courage on this Path.
With strength to discipline the mind, to practice wisdom and kindness.
May we learn to Open the Heart again and again.
May we fiercely cultivate Right Relationship with one another and all Our Relations,
on behalf of those that have come before us and all those that will come after.
Thank you from my heart of hearts thank you!
