It's in the darkness of men's eyes that they get lost.

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

The power of a thing or an act is in the meaning and the understanding.

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.

The boys of my people began very young to learn the ways of men, and no one taught us; we just learned by doing what we saw, and we were warriors at a time when boys now are like girls.

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.

As you walk upon the sacred earth, treat each step as a prayer.
