The Earth is a circle. Everyone is in the circle. Life is sacred. The Great Spirit is in everyone. Some of us look at life through the eyes of the Great Spirit. Some have not yet opened their real eyes. They cause the needless suffering in the circle. In this time their eyes will open.
All people are born. All people will pass away. Each of us needs to eat, to sleep, to take and give. To work and play. To help and be helped. To live and do what matters most. Love and be loved. Learn and teach. Breathe in and breathe out.
