Indian Prayer

West Virginia

My help is in the mountain
Where I take myself to heal the earthly wounds
That people give to me.
I find a rock with sun on it and a stream where water runs gently and trees, which one by one give me company.

So must I stay for a long time until I have grown from the rock
And the stream is running through me.
And I cannot tell myself from one tall tree
Then I know that nothing touches me
Nor makes me run away
My help is in the mountain that I take with me

thank you for sharing that beautiful prayer and your image Karen..... I try to get to the mountains at least twice a year for that healing kind of feeling.... I probably don't stay on a rock that long but the mountains are a nice place for cleansing and reflection... I feel like I need a mountain now....

jage nagonan... means "all my relations" in Potawatomi...the poet says we're all related and s/he means ALL is related.. if you suffer, I suffer.

Good Morning Karen..

Compelling imagery esp. with the Indian prayer. I can focus on this stream and almost hear its music.
