Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. 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 it's greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a cirlcle. The moon does the same and both are round. 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 everthing where power moves.
Black Elk, Oglala Sioux (1863-1950)
Even though this quote is long, it helps keep life in perspective for me. It is so easy to get uspet over every little thing that goes wrong in life. But karma also moves in a circle so there is no need for us to seek revnenge, it is slowly coming around the corner.
