A Mermaid, 1901
~by John Willaim Waterhouse
Earth's feet have become my feet
by means of these I shall live on,
Earth's body has become my body
by means of this I shall live on
.
~O Great Spirit~


Whose voice I hear in the winds,
and whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me! I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever
behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
make me wise so that I may understand things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in
every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy- myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with
clean hands and stright eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.


~Native American Prayer
The one thing we can never get enough of is love.
And the one thing we never give enough of is love.
~Henry Miller


When you look for the good in others, you discover the best in yourself.
~Martin Walsh


May we never stop looking for all the jewels in our life,the gems money cannot buy..
