As the sun shines through the windows on this cold Christmas Eve, I offer this Native Blessing.
A Native Christmas Blessing Way
I send Peace to the west Peace to the east Peace to the north and the south Peace to the sky And peace on the earth Peace to all creatures far and wide
Peace behind and before us Peace above and below us Peace on the right and on the left Peace within and among us all
Peace from Grandfather West Peace from Grandmother East Peace from Brother North Peace from Sister South
Good Morning Mother Earth Good Morning Father Sky Good Morning Brother Sun Who brings us light and life Good Morning Sister Water Who nourishes all the Earth
For all is grace and love is given Joy surrounds us all
And on this Christmas We are blessed For God gave us his all.
