"From the Great Spirit there came a great unifying life force that flowed in and through all things - the flowers the plains, blowing winds, rocks, trees, birds, animals - and was the same force that had been breathed into the first man. Thus all things were kindred, and were brought together by the same Great Mystery."

- Chief Luther Standing Bear, Teton Sioux

​

"All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man - the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports."

"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the centre of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this centre is really everywhere, it is within each of us."

- Black Elk

 

"The voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers."
