Grandfather Peter's Prayer for Today

GRANDFATHER’S PRAYER FOR TODAY.

I pray today that all of us will take time out to see, feel, work, and create our own visions.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ancient One sat in the shade of his tree in front of his cave. Red
People came to him and he said to Red People,
"Tell me your vision." And Red People answered,
"The elders have told us to pray in this manner, and that manner,
and it is important that only we pray as we have been taught for
this has been handed down to us by the elders."
"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.
Then Black People came to him and he said to Black People,
"Tell me your vision."
And Black People answered,
"Our mothers have said to go to this building and that building and
pray in this manner and that manner. And our fathers have said to
bow in this manner and that manner when we pray. And it is important
that we do only this when we pray."
"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.
Then Yellow People came to him and he said to Yellow People,
"Tell me your vision."
And Yellow People answered,
"Our teachers have told us to sit in this manner and that manner and
to say this thing and that thing when we pray. And it is important
that we do only this when we pray."
"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.
Then White People came to him and he said to White People,
"Tell me your vision." And White People answered, "Our Book has told
us to pray in this way and that way and to do this thing and that
thing, and it is very important that we do this when we pray."
"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.
Then Ancient One spoke to the Earth and said,
"Have you given the people a vision?"
And the Earth said,
"Yes, a special gift for each one, but the people were so busy
speaking and arguing about which way is right they could not see the
gift I gave each one of them."
And the Ancient One asked same question of Water and Fire and Air
and got the same answer.
Then Ancient One asked Animal, and Bird, and Insect, and Tree, and
Flower, and Sky, and Moon, and Sun, and Stars, and all of the other
Spirits and each told him the same.
Ancient One thought this was very sad. He called Red People, Black
People, Yellow People, and White People to him and said to them.
"The ways taught to you by your Elders, and your Mothers and
Fathers, and Teachers, and Books are sacred. It is good that you
respect those ways, for they are the ways of your ancestors. But the
ancestors no longer walk on the Face of the Earth Mother. You have
forgotten your own Vision. Your Vision is right for you but no one
else. Now each of you must pray for your own Visions, and be still
enough to see them, so you can follow the way of the heart. It is a
hard way. It is a good way.
