Soliloquy # 7

My good friend Courtney from North Dakota sent me this. I thought I’d share it because I think there’s so much for everyone.

Čhaŋte tiŋza okȟolakičhiye the strong heart society of Standing Rock calls on all the people of all beliefs and all faiths to fast and pray on Saturday December 5.

Fast for as long as you can, sun up to sundown. Stay in prayer, fill your pipes, pray with you sacred objects.

This virus has an evil spirit and has been taking our wisdom keepers, our elders, our teachers our language keepers. We need to pray with one heart and one mind to kill this evil.

I have witnessed many times, through the power of prayer, miracles can happen. Put out that sacred food, meat, berries, corn and tobacco. Ask the creator for health, help, protection and healing. I also ask grandmother earth for forgiveness for what we as humans do to her. When you break your fast, eat for those in the hospital who can’t eat. When you go outside and breathe the air, breathe for those who can’t. Send them your prayer for strength and healing. Please share this with your fiends, let’s make this prayer circle strong and powerful.

Mitakuye Owasiŋ

“One mind, one heart and one prayer can move mountains”
