My greatest enemy, myself

O Great Spirit I hear your voice in the winds that breathe life to all the world,
hear me, I am small & I'm weak.

I need your strength & your wisdom that you have hidden under every leaf & stone.

Let me always walk with beauty & let my eyes ever behold the red & purple sunset.

Make me wise so I will know what you have told my people.

Make my hands always respect the things that you have made
& my ears always sharp that I can hear your voice.

O Great Spirit I seek this strength & wisdom not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy,

myself.
