thank you for being
Let us be of one mind that we may do this properly.
We give thanks for our Clan Ancestors.
And the Great Mystery, told us this:
I shall continue to dwell above the sky, and that is where those on the earth will end their thanksgiving.
I shall always be listening carefully to what the people are saying and shall always be watching carefully what they do.
They will begin on the earth, giving thanks for all that they see.
They will carry that gratitude upward, ending where I dwell.
We want to live well to earn that right.
Let us be of one mind that we may do this properly.
We give thanks for the one who gives us our lives, the Great Mystery.
[At this time express gratitude for other aspects of your life.]
Closing:
May our grief be lifted,
Our hearts be open,
Our stomach be full,
Our bones be braced,
And our will be calmed.
It is spoken, it is beautiful.
[*part of a 500 year old Seneca thanksgiving prayer]
