Simply Put

"Simple is a poem, simplicity is a concept, or a state of being within one's soul aware of all around in the round. It is circles that hold the worlds together in the belief in one, and all numbers including the most important one: zero. When you see this in a woman you've glimpsed the eternal within the ordinary... This is sacred mathematical skill my grandfathers and grandmothers taught by their presence in life." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/06/18

This moment brings to the forefront of my memories yesterday wondering what today would look like, how it would feel. Well, here I am in that tomorrow glimpsing at a future I will never know. How will today be remembered tomorrow is dependent upon history and knowledge of it, and who we are as an individual and collectively where we do fit with the whole. The pity we feel in our young people is in their bearing: what they are unaware of. This unawareness is from a detachment engineered by the pieces left out in childhoods disconnected from the now, the land as mother, and play. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/06/18
