We learned to feel beauty

Luther Standing Bear
July-August 2015 (Vol. XXVIII, No. 7)

Knowledge was inherent in all things.
The world was a library and its books
Were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks...
We learned to do what only the students
of nature ever learn, that was to feel beauty.

Quote of the Day

The highest form of intervention that an individual may offer within a given situation, is not to ask for something to be, rather to become that which is desired. If peace is THE DESIRED REALITY within the global matrix, peace must BECOME THE REALITY within the local matrix of your experience. You must BECOME THAT PEACE.

~ from AWAKENING TO ZERO POINT by Gregg Braden
