SMOKE ON THE WIND

January 22, 2003 Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing 0 min read

Native American Indians have ceremonies for the purification of mind, body, and spirit that date back centuries and still continue today. There are sweat lodge ceremonies that are open to all people who seek harmony and balance with the Creator and all creation. I cannot help but wonder if some of our world leaders wouldn’t benefit from attending one or several, then ask a wise elder to put them up on a mountain for a vision quest, and when they come down that the Sacred Pipe is brought out and smoked. The smoke on the wind is carried to the Creator (God) as our prayer for world peace. God bless you one and all!
