Prayer for Today
Good morning relatives,
On this brisk morning let us give thanks for all of the beauty and blessings
we are able to experience.
A few yesterdays ago there was so much hatred and bloodshed upon our
lands that there was little beauty to be seen.
Because one brother walked a path with Creator and connected with our
ancestors we have an opportunity to connect with the same and bring
beauty and blessings across the land once again. Beauty not only seen
through the eyes, but beauty felt from the soul. The spirits of our
ancestors being honored, being brought on a journey from pain and horror
to a place of love ,togetherness, forgivess, and reconciliation. A time
to allow their voices to be heard, their pain and sacrifices to not
be in vain. A journey that allows our hurts to heal a bit, and leave
those that come after us a little less hurt. Creator allow this beautiful
journey to affect every heart upon this land. Allow us to open to the
beauty within and around. Allow every stomp of the horse nations hooves
to rattle the darkness within us and allow it to fall away into a place
of forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation.
Protect our family showing us how generational trauma affects us, how
we can heal, how love wins,
and how when we unite the ripple is spread across the land. Open us
all to the wisdom that this journey is riding with. Embrace our family
with the determination and strength that our grandmothers had. Allow
them to feel the loving feminine energy embracing them like only a grandmother
could. Allow us all to connect to the wisdom of the elders. Open our
eyes and our hearts to the beauty of the grandmother's. Let the young
ones be open to the teachings of their grandmothers. It is an honour
so many of us were not given. We know, however, that when pray and listen
those grandmother's can be heard.
Love, honour, repect, and gratitude from Texas

To all riders, horses and family members, I have the highest honors
to you all. You all have touched my heart tremendously. I will NEVER
forget the experience I was able to experience last year. You are in
