George loved to study Native American History. And he knew it well..Through his studies he would speak often of “The Powers That Be.” A greater power that is in all things. It was important to him To Honor the Earth our Mother…Honor all with whom we share the Earth… Four-legged, two-legged, ones that take flight and those that find water their homes. Honor the plants and rock/soil/water that sustains so much life. And to find balance and beauty in people. He would tell me often how lucky he was to have his place of worship out side his back door. After losing George I realized how being able to live here in Lavina Montana was such a large piece of the puzzle of the life of a very special man. This prayer says so much about who he was…. “ O’ Great Spirit help me always to speak the truth quietly, to listen with an open mind when others speak, and to remember the peace that may be found in silence. “
-Cherokee Prayer-
