Creation

In the beginning nothing was there where the world now stands,

nothing but darkness.

But the Great Spirit was here from the beginning.

He made the Earth, and he made the Sky.

Everything there was as in a dream, everything there was holy.

And at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit,

and this center is everywhere, it is within each of us.
