One Circle...

"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.'

 ~Black Elk~

"And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being."

"Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again." 
Joseph Campbell

Native American's are sacred to me.  The old ones have mystery lines on their faces.  The old photographs seem brittle with their way of life.  They were robbed of their simple sacred way of life, and because of this, we were robbed of our sacred way of life.

"Sooner or later, everybody's bill comes due."  (quote from Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood movie.)
