Retold by sister wolf
I live in the land of many mysteries. I know all and yet know nothing...
My life is one of daily ceremony as I live my beliefs each day in simple rites and deeds.
I see the un seeable, and I hear voices which surround me...
Voices only I understand. I understand because I listen.
I meet my Gods face to face. I am the link between the earth and the sky.
I talk with my great ones through dreams and visions- my dreams and visions are mine alone.
I know that my way is not the only way. Each of us has our own path-
I honor all, for all creatures are my brothers and sisters.
Harmony is only attained through sacred union with all.
The wind and rain, the sun and moon, the rocks and trees, they too are my relatives, we are all one.
My church is the open sky, my altar-the earth.
My sacred tools the buffalo skill and pipe. My God is Wakan Takan.
Great spirit, who is one and also many, he is invisible and visible in everything.
He is the Great Mystery which has no beginning and no end.
My sacred symbol is the circle. It is the story of the great mystery.
It is the medicine wheel that encompasses all that it is.
It has no beginning. It is life without end.
It brings lessons and truths and is the path to beauty and peace.
It is the earth walk, and I honor it with each step.
I walk the earth, the red road with vision of wholeness and speak the true law of nature.
It is time for my bothers and sisters to listen to the cry of our ancestors and walk the wheel of life.
It is time for my brothers and sisters to see.
It is time to find the path of wholeness to honor all that is.
It is time to take within you all our relations so balance and harmony will exist.
My brothers and sisters it is time to join the sacred circle and begin the earth dance.
