"There is a certain degree of sameness in your life and mine...a sameness that says no matter how different we are...we can still identify with each other's daily problems and hopes and aspirations. You may have that basic quality of serentiy and quiet confidence...and I of frivolity and eagerness...but we can still communicate through our basic sameness and through friendship, or 'o li i', as we Cherokees call it. If there is any greatness or strength in either of us, it will be from the standpoint of our consideration for each other and our understanding of unspoken concerns and the need for support...for the thread of sameness is from the Great Spirit that touches not only us but all with whom we are in contact...a silent bond that makes us one in courage."
