Black Elk Oglala Sioux Holy Man, 1863-1950

 

" You have noticed that everything as [Native American] Indian does is in a

circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and

everything tries to be round..... The Sky is round, and I have heard that the

earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest

power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion

as ours....

 

Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back

again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to

childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. "
