A Prayer Addressed To The Mountain Spirits
(Apache)



Mountain Spirit, leader of the Mountain Spirits, your body is holy.
By means of it, make him well again.
Make his body like your own.
Make him strong again.

He wants to get up with all of his body.
For that reason, he is performing this ceremony,
Do that which he has asked of you.


                              Long ago, it seems you restored someone's legs and eyes for them.
                              This has been said.
                              In the same way, make him free again from disease.
                              That is why I am speaking to you.

Please keep your fingers crossed for my mother... she will have her lung biopsy done this coming Wednesday. When her mother's family left the Cherokee reservation, they moved to the Mescalero Apache reservation and lived in the area for some time. My mother grew up in the surrounding areas. I love the area too.

Thank you for your kindness; my mother wanted me to send her thanks to all who were thinking of her! She appreciates the good wishes.

    I haven't stopped thinking of her since you first wrote about what was happening. And I don't plan to stop now. My fingers are crossed and I'll add her to my prayers right next to Mr. Scott Wannberg.

    Much love and hugs to you and her both!

    We pray in our own ways for your mother too. Our mothers have seen us so far, and without them we engage in missing a part of ourselves.

    Karen,

    May the Warm Winds of Heaven
    Blow softly upon your house.
    May the Great Spirit
    Bless all who enter there.
    May your Mocassins
    Make happy tracks
    in many snows,
    and may the Rainbow
    Always touch your shoulder.
    Give Us Hearts to Understand

    from Cherokee Prayer Blessing
