| Prayers at the Animas River for those at Standing Rock. |
Dear
Warrior Water Protector,
I
write to share my support and blessings and above all my prayers with you. I share my words with you from the desert
homeland of New Mexico and I burn sage for you and pray those old prayers for
your health and protection. Please know that though I don’t know you and may
never meet you in person, know that I love you.
You are our beautyful ancestors in pure color, living and breathing and
fighting for OUR Indigenous people.
You
bless OUR lives with what you have chosen to do at Standing Rock. You are my hero(es), you are a blessed nation of warriors. Creator
God knows your plight – please know that OUR divine Creator is always with you - in your sadness, hurt and in your triumphs HE knows. For HE knew you before you
were born. HE made you beautifully and wonderfully and He listens to your
prayers. Please don’t stray from Him. Please don’t be discouraged during this
terrible time you are going through, for Indigenous peoples are all going through with you. Keep your spirit strong and your head up, you are meant to be just where you are,
it has already been written in the stars above.
You were born for this moment in time, to be the Water Protectors, to be
that child of God that wears His armor of Hope, Faith and Love….. YOU make me
proud, you make all of us humble by your actions. Tó eí Iiná.
I
am a humble artist, and I do my best to speak for OUR sacred lands and for OUR
elders, but I cannot be there with YOU at the front lines and for this truth I
am sad and discouraged. I currently care
for my maternal grandmother and cannot leave her side, but I have told her
about YOU and your brilliant and brave efforts.
She said to tell you she LOVES you ‘grandchildren’ and she will pray her desert prayers for you. I send you my LOVE and above all my full support for what you are amidst of there TRUTH! –
I can only share my humble words of encouragement at this time. I think of you ALL daily, and send you all
the good ways and good thoughts.
BLESS the PEOPLE.
In
love & prayer,
V.
