"...when we become hollow bones there is

No limit to what the Higher Powers can

Do in and through us in spiritual things."

- Fools Crow, LAKOTA

If we want to be of maximum use to the Creator,

We must ready ourselves to do so. If we

Are to become a channel for His purposes, we

Must prepare ourselves to do so. If we have

Resentment, fear, selfishness, or anger, we are

Not hollow bones. We must be rid of these

Things. We must change ourselves. We must

Ask for forgiveness for ourselves and forgive

Our brothers and sisters. We must keep our

Insides clean. We cannot use our power in a

Good way when we have blockages such as

Hate, judgment and envy. When we are free of

These things the Higher Powers can use us

Beyond our wildest imagination. Then we can

Really help ourselves and help our people.

Only when we are hollow bones can we have

An effect on the world.

Oh Great

Spirit, remove

From me the

Things that

Block my

Usefulness to

You. Remove

From my day

All thinking

That is out of

Harmony with

Your ways.

Grant me

Your peace

And allow me

To function as

A hollow bone.
