"O Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I come before you, one of your chi ldren. I am small and weak. Ineed your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made, my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise, so that I may know the things you have taught my people, the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy: myself.
Make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes,
so that when life fades as a fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame."
Adrian, asta e o rugaciune luata din aceasi sursa - o rugaciune a nativilor amerindieni. Ce anume e neortodox in ea, cu exceptia faptuli ca cei care o spuneau nu erau botezati (de trei ori, prin afundare) de catre un preot ortodox ?
