I was just elsewhere, commenting on a blog post talking about the Underground Railroad, and our own brutal history with slavery, here in the states. <br /><br />I think one of the most hopeful things about the human race, and certain countries in particular is how much we try to learn from, and rectify our mistakes. <br /><br />Lovely pictures, but it was the concept that the bodies were re-interred in a special ceremony that I found particularly moving.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936533600162029655.post-83365061721259203592010-06-19T07:53:15.706-04:002010-06-19T07:53:15.706-04:00This really touched my heart.

Googling for Iroquois Prayer and Great Spirit, I did find the following. It is not exactly the same, but seems similar:<br /><br /><i>Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives life to the world, hear me. <br /><br />I come to you as one of your many children. I am small and weak. I need your strength and your wisdom.<br /> <br />May I walk in beauty. Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things that you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.<br /><br />Make me wise so that I may know the things you have taught your children, the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.<br /> <br />Make me strong, not to be superior to my brothers and sisters, but to be able to conquer my greatest enemy, myself. <br /><br />Make me ever ready to come to You with straight eyes, so that when life fades as the fading sunset, my spirit comes to You without shame. <br /><br />- Chief Dan George</i> <br /><br />Amen. Barry, I know there is much in your life at present to make you feel "small and weak", so I applaud your quiet courage in seeking out the strength and wisdom and lessons "hidden in very leaf and rock".Lorenzo — Alchemist's Pillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522265816460154722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936533600162029655.post-53078339739130382042010-06-18T07:54:43.683-04:002010-06-18T07:54:43.683-04:00nice pics...the first wih the sun in the back is m...nice pics...the first wih the sun in the back is my fav...stirring reminders...and i am glad they took care of the remains as well...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936533600162029655.post-76616787879324887712010-06-18T07:50:29.331-04:002010-06-18T07:50:29.331-04:00And that was back in the '50's Nancy.
