Closing the Circle
At the end of the night
We close with Gratitude.
It always leaves us in a wonderful mood
When we reflect on those things
In our lives for which we are grateful.
Often we speak of our gratitude
To the Ancestors who held and guided us,
To the Circle for it's blessings,
For the Fire for providing illumination and warmth
And for many other things.
Lastly we sing our closing song:
We are all walking each other home
We are all walking each other home
We are all walking each other home
We are all just walking each other home
And then we each hug each and every man
Before we leave. Sometimes the hugging
Takes awhile because there are many men
And sometimes we tarry, speaking to each other
From our hearts.
As the Sage once said:
In Beauty it rolls on...
