Let every step you take upon the earth be as a prayer.

And if the great fear had not come upon me, as it did, and forced me to do my duty, I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all, even with the memory of so great a vision in me.

And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people as one of many hoops that made one circle.

Every place is the center of the world.

One should pay attention to even the smallest crawling creature for these too may have a valuable lesson to teach us.

And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father.

Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a person is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.
