Fiona's Words to the World:


Couldn’t better this:

              ~ Cherokee Prayer ~
                O' GREAT SPIRIT
                 help me aways
           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.
