Smoke

Whether you have offered your prayers to God, the Goddess, the Great Spirit or whoever fits your own belief, you can rest assured they are heard and answered. Even so, you will need patience. It may well feel as though you have been waiting an eternity for the results you asked for.

But you have to let everything take its natural course, like smoke from a campfire. Things have to happen in the background, out of your sight, for it all to come about. So however impatient you are, trust that everything is in divine hands. You are quite entitled to expect good things, because you will get what you hoped for, or perhaps something better.

Verse
I send my prayers to whom it pleased:
the Great Spirit, Divine Love released.
Like smoke my breath climbs up and higher.
I wait for answers without ire.

Other meanings
Prayers help in this situation. You will get what you are asking for, and soon. Ask and it will be given. Be patient. Daily prayers will strengthen your bond with the divine. Keep a list of people who need help or healing, so you can pray for them.

About smoke
As far back as ancient Babylon people looked for signs in smoke. In ancient Greece the augurs watched whether the smoke of sacred offerings rose straight to heaven. If it did, that was a good omen; but if the smoke lingered or blew sideways, it was read as an uncertain one. Today you can light a stick of incense and study the movements of the smoke.
