"There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them." - Narrator
“If there is anyone here whom I have not insulted, I beg his pardon.†~Johannes Brahms
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.~ George Orwell / 1984
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.~Charles Dickens / A Tail of Two Cities
The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.~ Samuel Beckett / Murphy
Once an angry man dragged his father along the ground through his own orchard. “Stop!†cried the groaning old man at last, “Stop! I did not drag my father beyond this tree."~ Gertrude Stein / The Making of Americans

Our lives are based on what is reasonable and common sense;
Truth is apt to be neither.

"There is no such thing as 'part Cherokee.'
Either you're Cherokee or you're not.
It isn't the quantity of Cherokee blood in your veins that is important, but the quality of it...your pride in it.
I have seen full-bloods who have virtually no idea of the great legacy entrusted to their care.
Yet, I have seen people with as little as 1/500th blood quantum who inspire the spirits of their ancestors because they make being Cherokee a proud part of a their everyday life."
~ Jim Pell, Principal Chief of the North Alabama Cherokee Tribe
Tashunca-Uitco's Vision
The Teton Sioux Chief Tashunca-Uitco (Crazy Horse) had a final vision in which
He saw his people being driven into spiritual darkness and poverty while the white people prospered in a material way all around them. But even in the darkest times, he saw that the eyes of a few of his people kept the light of dawn and the wisdom of the earth, which they passed on to some of their grandchildren. He saw the coming of automobiles and airplanes, and twice he saw the great darkness and heard the screams and explosions when millions of people died in two great world wars.
But he saw, after the second great war passed, a time come when his people began to awaken, not all at once, but a few here and there, and then more and more, and he saw that they were dancing in a beautiful light of the Spirit World under the Sacred Tree even while still on Earth. Then he was amazed to see that dancing under the tree were representatives of all races who had become brothers, and he realized that the world would be made new again and in peace and harmony not just by his people, but by members of all races of mankind.
The Chief also stated:
I see a time of seven generations when all the colours of mankind will gather under the sacred tree of Life and the whole earth will become one circle again.
and
I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that centre within you, and I am at that place within me, we shall be as one.
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein
