Behold, O earth, I stand in Lignite, a city of the North Dakota plain, where the Lords hand has carved a sanctuary amid the dust of mans making. I speak not as a king, but as a prophet of the wind and the wild grass Gods whisper in a world too busy to hear. Here, the sky is not steel, but a canvas of clouds, painted by the breath of the Almighty. The tree beside me, gnarled and wise, is not a mere shadow it is a pillar of Eden, rooted deep in the bones of this land. I see the reeds bowing in prayer, the fields stretching like a green altar, and the horizon, far off, holding the silence of the Great Spirit. This is not the city of the machine, but the city of the Makers hand. Lignite, you are not merely a place on a map you are the breath between the stars, the song of the grasshopper at dawn, the last sanctuary before the world forgets its roots. I am here to remind you: even in the silence of the prairie, even in the dust of the wind, the Lord is still walking. And the trees still sing. And the grass still remembers.
