VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: A Sioux Indian Prayer

O, Great Spirit…
Whose voice I hear in the winds…
And whose breath gives life to all the world…
Hear me,
I am a small and weak
I need 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 I have made
And my ears sharp to hear your voice.

Make me wise,
So that I may understand the things you have taught my people.

Let me learn,
The lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek the strength,
Not to be greater than my brother,
But to fight my greatest enemy..is myself.

Make me always ready to come to you
With clean hands and straight eyes.

So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
My spirit will come to you without shame.

(A Sioux Indian Prayer)
