A Sioux story prayer….

Grandfather took me to the still waters and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone person. "You will create lots of splashes in your life and the waves that come from those splashes will effect all your relations," he said. "Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles. You will need to live in a good way that allows the good from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others." It felt warm and good inside knowing that my inner peace will flow out into the world. Knowing that I radiate the good feelings and thoughts that I hold inside, whether I speak them or not. Whatever splashes around inside of me will spill out into the world …expanding…ever expanding, creating beauty with all other circles of life…
