“…So live your life that the fear
of death can never enter your heart…
respect others in their view,
and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life,
beautify all things in your life…
and its purpose in the service of your people.
Prepare a noble death song
for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute
when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger,
when in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light,
give thanks for your food and the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks,
the fault lies in yourself.
-Chief Tecumseh- Shawnee Nation (1768-1813)
The sun slowly falls from the sky
as golden moon flies up to nest…
the birds settle down for sleep
as Coyotes call-
everyone settles down to rest…
-Anonymous-
Listening
The noise of passing feet
On the prairie—
Is it men or gods
Who come out of the silence?
-The Path on The Rainbow Edited by George W. Cronyn, (1918)
