MOONCHILD'S BOOK OF SHADOWS

Life is a Circle By Black Elk
~ Oglala Sioux ~1863-1950

The sun comes forth and
goes down again in a circle.
The moon does the same
and both are round.

Even the seasons form a great circle
in their changing
and always come back
to where they were.

The life of a man is a circle,
from childhood to childhood.

and so it is with everything
where power moves.

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 its' greatest power whirls.

Birds make their nests in circles;
for their's is the same religion as ours.
