When you bow deeply to the Universe, it bows back.  When you call out the name Creator, it echoes inside of you.

There is nothing so strong as gentleness and nothing so gentle as real strength.
                            Rolling Thunder

It is in the darkness, that light is seen,
It is in the heart that love is felt,
It is in the mind that wisdom is known,
It is in the Spirit that God is found.
                                Diane Wolfsong

If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of Spirit, since whatever happens to the beasts also happens to man.  All things are connected.  Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the Earth.

The teacher gives information to nourish the individual in hopes that they will grow.  If the individual can only speak of what the teacher has said and has not applied their personal and unique understanding, then the teacher has failed and the student is trapped in the circle of the animal.

I may never see tomorrow.  There is no written guarantee.  Things that happened yesterday belong to history.  I can't predict the future.  I can't change the past.  I have just the present moment.  So I must treat it as my last.  I nust use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away and be lost to me forever as part of yesterday.  I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet.  Be a friend to the friendless.  Make an empty life complete.  the unkind things I do today may never be undone.  And friendships that I fail to win may never be won.  I thank the Creator with humble heart for giving me this day.

Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of the wolf.

Sioux Prayer
Grandfather Great Spirit all over the world, the faces of living ones are alike. With tenderness, they have come up out of the ground.  Look upon your children that they may face the Winds and woalk the good road to the day of Quiet.  Grandfather Great Spirit fill us with the light.  Give us the strength to understand and the eyes to see.  Teach us to walk the soft Earth as relatives to all that live.

Cherokee Prayers
As the Wolf Spirit has called to me, I run with her.  O Great Spirit, help me to always speak the truth, quietly listen with an open mind when others speak, and to remember the peace that may be found in silence.

The worth of oneself can be found in the needs of others.
                                               Key (a man I call Friend)

Take heed when looking into the eyes of the Wolf, for there you will find the mirror of your heart.
