with you,
and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them, you will not
know them, and
what you do not know you will fear.
What one fears, one destroys.
Chief Dan George
I give you one though to keep-
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I an the sunlight on ripened grain,
I an the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone-
I am with you still-in each new dawn.
Men would die from a great lonliness of spirit.
For whatever happens to the beasts,
Soon happens to man.
All things are connected.
Chief Seattle
Respect the elders, Teach the young,
Cooperate with the pack.
Play when you can, Hunt when you must,
Rest in between.
Share your affections, Voice your feelings,
Leave your mark.
