“Every cloud that forms, every snowflake that falls to earth, every creature it touches, all are part of the same whole. Even the act of shivering in a snowstorm is an expression of oneness with nature. The wolf and the hawk, the crow and the salmon are brothers … The least and the greatest are one. You are a child of the forest and the sky, and the father of forever.

When you know who you are; when your mission is clear and you burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will; no cold can touch your heart; no deluge can dampen your purpose … Peace comes within the souls of men, when they realize their oneness with the Universe, when they realize it is really everywhere … it is within each one of us.”

~ Black Elk
