From (N.A.I.G.S.O.) The Native American Indian General Service Office of Alcoholics Anonymous Web Site.
Oh Great Spirit Whose Voice I Hear in the wind. Whose breath gives life to the world. Hear me. I come to you as one of your many children. I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom; May I walk in beauty. Make my eyes behold the red and purple sunset; Make my hands respect the things that you have made, And my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may know the things That you have taught your children; The lessons that you have hidden in every leaf and rock. Make me strong . . . not to be superior to my brothers but to be able to fight my greatest enemy. . .myself. Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes so that When life fades as the faded sunset, My spirit will come to you without shame.
