The drum spoke before dawn, and the ancestors answered through the wind. The earth became still to hear the prayer of a weary soul. E fi ẹnu tún mi ṣe. Use your mouths to remake me with goodness. If I have walked through sorrow, speak restoration upon my name. If my spirit has grown tired from battles, call me back into favor with your words. For words carry power. The tongue builds. The tongue destroys. The mouth of man can become fire or become healing water. So I stand before heaven and earth saying: E fi ẹnu tún mi ṣe. When my name is spoken, let it not carry shame. Let broken things around me rise again through blessings. May elders mention me with honor. May children remember me with joy. May strangers meet me with peace before I even speak. If darkness once followed my footsteps, let light now walk beside me. If bitterness once knew my doorway, let sweetness sit at my table. E fi ẹnu tún mi ṣe. Speak goodness into my destiny. Speak life into my household. Speak favor into my journey. Like rain renewing dry ground, let good words renew my spirit. Like the moon returning after darkness, let my joy return again. The ancestors are listening. The rivers are listening. The wind carries every prayer to the gates of eternity. So let every tongue around me become a tongue of blessing. E fi ẹnu tún mi ṣe. May my life be rebuilt with goodness. May my name be restored with honor. May my tomorrow become greater than today. #lifeisspiritual #olodumare #ifaeleriipin #awakenedsoul #spiritualportal888 - @cody.mcdee
