“…EVERYTHING AN INDIAN DOES IS IN A CIRCLE, & THAT IS BECAUSE THE POWER OF THE WORLD ALWAYS WORKS IN CIRCLES, & EVERYTHING TRIES TO BE ROUND…THE SKY IS ROUND…& SO ARE ALL THE STARS. THE WIND, IN ITS GREATEST POWER, WHIRLS. BIRDS MAKE THEIR NESTS IN CIRCLES, FOR THEIRS IS THE SAME RELIGION AS OUR…EVEN THE SEASONS FORM A GREAT CIRCLE IN THEIR CHANGING, & ALWAYS COME BACK AGAIN TO WHERE THEY WERE. THE LIFE OF A MAN IS A CIRCLE FROM CHILDHOOD TO CHILDHOOD, & SO IT IS IN EVERYTHING WHERE POWER MOVES.” – BLACK ELK

I recall my father telling me something about this circle of life. Once a man twice a child.
