“Intention” — it’s a word that gets loosely thrown around in spiritual circles these days. We set our intention to _____.

For as long as I can remember, the tone of the day was set by prayers and the intention to walk a path in a sacred manner, caring for all life along our way. In the beginning, they were simple and spoken from the heart with a bit of tobacco or cornmeal blown on the wind. More intricate prayers from prescribed cyclic ceremonies required memorization work with ancient plays that helped us flow through life and stay in the cycles of the planet.
