Sacred Protection From the Storm, Acrylic on 6"x6" board, 2009.
"O Great
Spirit of the North,
who gives wings to the waters of the air and rolls the thick
snowstorm before Thee,
Who covers the Earth with a sparkling crystal carpet
above
whose deep tranquillity every sound is beautiful.
Temper us with strength
to withstand the biting blizzards,
yet make us thankful for the beauty which
follows
and lies deep over the warm Earth in its wake."
--from The Sacred Seven Prayers by Noel Knockwood, Elder.
