I'm giving this quote from a little book I use almost daily and year after year, title: A CHEROKEE FEAST OF DAYS. I find the authoress's wisdom and writing well-suited to my mind and sensiblities so much that it almost seems intuitive on a daily basis. I give her full credit and if you are interested in the writings of Joyce Sequichie Hifler please see the liner notes below the quote. I only give this so others of like-mind may share or discover her unique writings and Native American wisdom.

"Can you see the wind? Can you see the fragrance of flowers on the breezes? Can you see thought or what it is that changes a tree from bare limbs to lush green? Can you see love, joy or peace?
We can only see evidence of these invisible things, and it is enough to make us know that they exist. The substance of life is so evident, so real and so beautiful. Why is that we ever question the existence of our Creator, who set all things in motion? Are we so base, so grounded that unless it gives us momentary pleasure, feeds our starving appetites, we cannot recognize the greatest help available? It is Galun lati, the Great Spirit, invisible yes, but more real than all we see that is tangible."
WE see the changes of day & night... the seasons, the stars, the moon, the sun. Anyone must know it is the work of some one more powerful than a man.
