Lake Shetek State Park

“When we pray, that connects us all in agreement, that’s powerful . . .”

… And when we have that power of prayer, something happens that creates action. You know, in the spiritual realm. I believe the foundation of being Native is our spirituality, prayer. Right there, and if we don’t have that, you know, we’re just tossed around by different ideas. But when we ground ourself in prayer, we’re able to hear what the Creator wants, and that is all goodness for all people. Love, kindness, and serving one another — selflessness.”

~Christian “Takes the Gun” Parrish, in Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
