A) Discovery Of HIS Love For Me
My GREAT FATHER blesses me with Hope, like unto the Willow Tree.
Granted through HIS Shelter -
…far more than a dream or wish, the reality of HIS Desire
…looking for that which will bring about a kindling of Faith
…accepting HIM as the complete source of Faith and Total Fulfillment
The Willow Tree symbolizes inner wisdom, an open mind with the stability and strength of age and experience.

B) In The Spirit of My Elders
I learn that the lessons of Hope are given through those who have gone before me. It is from them that I feel the rhythm of all that is about me, including the very beating of my heart. There is union in the cadence, for my very life has its place upon the page of music from the symphony of Creation.
It is upon The Spiritual Journey To KIVA, that I find RECOVERY of the body, mind, spirit, heart and soul –

F) Invocation by Chaplain Michael L. Benedict
Bless me now, beginning this day, greeting another, I pass on the way.
May I offer to all, a warm out stretched hand, a listening heart, to understand. May I look past the wrinkles of a tired, toil worn face, to see a soul that endures with deep inner grace. May I feel of their struggle in days that are spent, knowing for comfort, 'tis I who am sent. May I offer a smile to one who sits all alone, encircling with love, that they might belong. May I hear of their longing when no one is near, revering their wisdom at the zenith of years. May I share fond recalling, their summer of life, though winter descends, affection burns bright. May I be a companion when evening draws nigh, holding soft calloused hands when restoring their pride. May I feel compassion for their pain and their cries, when they feel that their purpose fades in the night. May they not be forsaken by family and friends, for still they belong to the family of man. May I see them once more at a bright shining gate, when no longer shackled by the frailties of age. May I see them and know them and may they see me as one who was there in their hour of need.
G) My Dance Of Hope And Spiritual Values
by Chaplain Michael L. Benedict
My rhythm and song unite with the waves that are pulled toward the shore, only to be held back for another return. The cycle of the waves is in pattern to the rhythm of the heavens which govern the cycle of each day and the pattern of each night. The cadence of their ebb and flow is in counterpoint to the tranquility of the never ending progression of The Spiritual Journey. For though I stand as an observer, my movement continues, as my spirit joining the back and forth motion, the precision and exactness of each wave which moves continually inward, outward and back, as if to be guided by its tempo and momentum.
This is My Rhythm of Faith.
This is My Song of Reverence.
This is My Harmony which unites with:
The Instinct Of The Bear,
The Guardianship Of The Thunderbird,
The Refinement Of The Peacock,
The Productivity Of The Bee.
Dance I Now - My Dance Of Hope And Spiritual Values.
