Ignorance,
conceit, anger, jealousy - and greed stem from a lost soul..
Pray that they will find guidance.

make
your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others
may
walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

Serve
them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them
with

forgiven.

return to you.

within
this universe.

in
spirit to cure emotional ails.

will react. Be responsible for your own actions.

And until we meet again
May The Great Spirit hold your hand
in the palm of his hand
