It is a condition of mind
brought about by a serenity of soul.
Lasting peace can only come to peaceful people."

You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and thats because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.. the sky is round and I have heard the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars, the wind, in it's greatest power, whirls.
Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood and so it is in everything where power moves.
"What is life? It is the flash of a
firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo
in the wintertime. It is the little shadow
which runs accross the grass and
loses itself in the sunset."
~Crowfoot
