    SIOUX PRAYER

    Grandfather Great Spirit All Over The World

    The Faces Of Living Things Are Alike.

    With Tenderness, They Have Come Up Out Of The Ground.

    Look Upon Your Children That They May Face The Winds

    And Walk The Good Road To The Day Of Quiet.

    Grandfather Great Spirit

    Fill Us With The Light.

    Give Us The Strength To Understand And The Eyes To See.

    Teach Us To Walk The Soft Earth As Relatives

    To All That Live.

    A Cherokee Parable

    Two Wolves - A Cherokee Parable
     

    An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...

    "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
    "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

    "One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

    "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

    "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

    The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
    "Which wolf will win?"

    The old chief simply replied,
    "The one you feed."
