The
character of the Indian's emotion left little room
in his
heart for antagonism for his fellow creatures ~ for
the
Lakota, mountains, lakes, rivers, springs, valleys and
woods
were all finished beauty. Winds, rain, snow sunshine,
day,
night and change of seasons were endlessly fascinating.
Birds,
insects and animals filled the world with knowledge
that
defied the comprehension of man.

So few
people are worthy of our tears ~ only a few. Our
personal
space is invaded and we are made to think we
caused
the rift that follows. This is an illusion that is not
worthy
of the price we try to pay. It is the elder's privilege
to look
back and smile. They to have known the ideal, the
magnificent, the ultimate ~ and they have cried. But
~
a-da-to-li-sdi, that wonderful grace, provided
knowledge of
how to
hold one loose thread in place with joy ~ not tears.
And then
came peace.
This
Passage comes from~ A Cherokee Feast Of Days

It is
the duty of the brave when injured to lay peace aside ~
and then
to lay down again in peaceful quiet.
