Sweet Grass

My beloved child, I freely offer my hair for you. 

I offer my hair in mourning for you.

I mourn that as you journeyed through life, you experienced pain.

I offer my hair so that you can burn it for cleansing.

Let your sacred voice rise up in prayer, as the smoke of my hair embraces you.

Pray that you enter the next moments purified in thought and emotions.

My beloved; let the purity that surrounds you, direct your actions.

My dearest one, braid my hair to remind you of the strength you possess.

The strength of your body, mind and spirit.

Let my braid remind you of your resiliency.

You are a survivor.

I freely offer my hair as a sacrifice for your healing.

My only request is that you walk on me in a sacred way.

I ask this so that I can be here to offer my hair to all the generations yet to come.

I love you,
Mother Earth.
