Morning Star by Wenona Gardner Wabun-anung I am the light shining in the darkness. A glimmer of love in a sea of black. I am a sign of hope and a beacon. Letting the restless know the dawn of a new sun is soon rising. A chance to start fresh. A new day. I am the light. |

"Morning Star, there at the place where the sun comes up, you, who have the wisdom which we seek, help us in cleansing ourselves and all the people, that our generations to come will have light as they walk the sacred path. You lead the dawn as it walks forth, and also the day which follows with it's light, which is knowledge. This you do for us and for all the people of the world, that they may see clearly in walking the holy path, that they may know all that is holy, and that they may increase in a sacred manner."~ Black Elk |
