CIRCLES
Quote for Today - March 22, 2013
"Everything an Indian does
is in a circle,
and that is because
the power of the world
always works in circles,
and everything tries to be round.
In the old days
when we were a strong
and happy people,
all our power came to us
from the sacred hoop of the nation,
and so long as the hoop
was unbroken the people flourished."
Black Elk [1863-1950] in Black Elk Speaks,
the Life Story of a Holy Man
of the Ogalala Sioux, as told
through John G. Neihardt [1961]
Painting: "Circle of Life"
