Early Morning Prayers - 24" x 48", Acrylic on Spruce, $3,700

Amidst trees
In the early golden light
Eagle and Raven
Call to the two leggeds
"We are all beginning this gift
New day

Give thanks to Grandfather Sun
Mother Earth, Father Sky,
Four Directions, all the living,
The standing ones, the stone people
Give thanks for the winds and the water
For all of our life

And for this new day
We begin again
Older and newer

We give thanks that
We have survived and succeeded
We've lost and we've learned
And we ve had the opportunity
To feel pain and laughter
Sadness and joy
We are glad that we've had
The darkness and this new light
And it is seeing in this sacred manner
That we continue"
