CIRCLE

Quote for Today: March 23, 2013




"Even the seasons
form a great circle in their changing,
and always come back again
to where they were.
Our life is a circle
from childhood to childhood
and so it is in everything
where power moves.
Our tepees were round
like a nests of birds,
and these were always
set in a circle,
the nation's hoop."

Black Elk [1863-1950]
in Black Elk Speaks, 
Being the Life Story of a Holy Man
of the Oglala Sioux, as told through
John G. Neihardt [1961]
