A Prayer to the North

The final piece belongs to the North. It's white. represents the element of air, and, in the model I followed, brings a prayer for strong, healthy bodies.

Acbadadea,
Creator of All things,
you have made all that we can and cannot see.
You have filled the atmosphere with precious air
in the model of your Spirit:
invisible but life-giving.
A testament to your power.
We feel the wind, the clouds, thunder, lightning,
and know the magnitude of your Creation,
the presence of your Spirit in all of Grandmother Earth,
charging the air with majesty.
We recognize that in each breath
we are sharing in the physical nature of the universe,
sustaining ourselves by and through your Spirit.
We pray that our own physical bodies remain healthy and strong,
to be a space for our hearts and minds to flourish,
and to be a vehicle for your Spirit.
We journey in each direction through the seasons,
coming back around through winter.
It is now especially, when we're drained from the journey,
that we pray for revival of both body and spirit,
preparing for the next cycle.
In this circle, we can move through the chaos of life,
recognize its inherent circular evolvement,
reconnect ourselves to rhythms of the natural world.
Acbadadea, set our bodies in time with the drumbeat of the earth.
Let us be close to all Grandmother Earth bears,
that we may be close to your spirit.
Aho.
