Inspired by Gil Saenz, Chactow, prayer & blessing at Oakland Center for Spiritual Living. Photo: "He Is They Are" statue, Rapid City, South Dakota.[ItsAboutTheLight]


Aho.

The Red Road glows in his presence:

stained glass prisms bleed the summer sun

of yellow, green and ruby onto his being.

Wankan Tanka.

At the center - standing inside depths unimagined,  

praying for pity, not from pride;

at the center - reaching through Seven Directions.

Aho.

Eagle feather wafts sage and cedar smoke ~

breathe soul-deep; rising voice, quickened drum 

draw us up in blessed union.

Tunkashila.

Seeing truths behind our blindness

~ encircled, encircling ~

Forgive our ignorance; accept our tears.

 Aho.

Touching in its heartfelt humility. The imagery was especially pleasing, (IMO) and had a discernible spiritual fragrance. As I interpret it: an ardent heartcry to the Lakota Sioux 'Grandfather', or the Most High God of the Bible, for forgiveness, relationship, and perhaps intervention on a quickly devolving planet. "Aho" I can only interpret (but I may be wrong) as meaning 'in agreement'. Enjoyed!
Peace to you ... rlc

Vicky,

How lovely! It is a blessing to have Gil in your life. And, a blessing for him to have you in his.
