The power of the world always works in circles.

When you pray with this pipe, you pray for and with everything.

You remember that my great vision came to me when I was only nine years old, and you have seen that I was not much good for anything until after I had performed the horse dance near the mouth of the Tongue River during my eighteenth summer.

Every place is the center of the world.

So I took the bright red stick and at the center of the nation's hoop I thrust it in the earth.

You see, I had been riding with the storm clouds, and had come to earth as rain, and it was drought that I had killed with the power that the Six Grandfathers gave me.

Behold this day. It is yours to make.
