O Great Spirit

Whose voice I hear in the winds, and
whose breath gives us 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 the 
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 straight eyes.

So when Life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.

I asked her what it was to be alive?
She told me to see her,
I asked her how to be honest?
She told me to listen to her,
I asked her how to love?
She told me to hold her,
I asked her how to become my true self?
She told me to talk to her,
I told her that I loved her and I heard her song!
Peter Bengry

The most beautiful we have known are those who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths.
These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion,
gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Beautiful are the words within me
Beautiful for the words are gold

May there be happiness, May there be success,
May there be good health, May there be well being,

In Beauty, happily I walk
With Beauty all around me I walk
It is finished in Beauty

A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world. 
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. 
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
Kahlil Gibran
