Tonight as I light my candle, I think we shall take a journey along a lake shore. You may add prayers or poems, along with plants, minerals, or whatever you can conceive to the prayer circle below.
the evening is cool, and the water is lapping against the shore. We can hear a water fall in the distance as it goes over a small dam. The path takes us along the shoreline, stepping over rocks and branches that have washed on the shore. The new growth smells so fresh and the water smells slightly like fish, because it is loaded with them. We stop and watch as a small snake hurries to get away from us intruders.
The path takes a turn up the rocky side of a hill, through some large trees to the top of a cleared hillside. In the center is a campfire, with some large logs for us to sit on and we walk around to the opening on the east side of the circle and walk single file into the circle, each finding a place to sit with our feet on the ground.
Tonight I have brought some tobacco to sprinkle around our sacred space. I then pull a bundle of sweetgrass and I unbraid it and add it to our small campfire, asking the ancestors to join us.

I ask for love for each of my friends here with rose petals, and ask for prayers to be sent up for all my family, and friends to find the healings they seek, be they physical, mental, or relationships.
Our dear grandson, my niece, my husband especially are in my thoughts tonight, may they all soon return to health. Also A couple of old friends who are suffering with various afflictions, may they all have relief from their pain so they may enjoy the time they have left on this earth.
Passing the talking stick to on to the rest of you to say your prayer and offering.
