A Thanksgiving Prayer
* We return thanks to our mother, the earth, which sustains us.
* We return thanks to the rivers and streams, which supply us with water.
* We return thanks to all herbs, which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.
* We return thanks to the moon and stars, which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.
* We return thanks to the sun, that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.
* Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit, in Whom is embodied all goodness, and Who directs all things for the good of Her children.
