Power of the World Works in Circles 01/23/2011
I came across this quote from the book "Wood Becomes Water" "You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.... The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are the stars. The wind in its greatest power, whirls. Birds makes their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.... Even the seasons forma great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where Power moves. ~ Black Elk, Oglala Sioux  Click to read more....
