Praying with Bare Feet

Bare feet, firmly pressed to the earth,

Grounded, connected, and balanced,

Right here, right now, in this time and space.

I feel myself stretch down deeply like roots,

Beyond the rocks and waters,

Searching and connecting to the Ancestors.

I call to those who stood on this land before me,

and built the roads I walk along.

Guide my footsteps, show me the path.

Grant me the wisdom of your many lives.
