Mother of the Earth:
[to the west]
I call on your spirit
to watch over all of us,
to protect us
[to the north]
i ask for your forgiveness
for the suffering i’ve caused others
may you watch over them
and heal their wounds
[to the east]
i wish for safety and peace
to the victims
oppression, inequality, and injustice
[to the south]
i give myself to you;
in spirit, energy, truth, and love
may you guide me;
live within me
breath by breath
step by step
