Anywhere is the Center of the World

2009.09.18

Words below were spoken by Black Elk, Holy Man of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe.

Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all,
and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world.

And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell
and I understood more than I saw;
for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.

And I saw that it was holy...

But anywhere is the center of the world.

LysMandala Marsha is an incredible place.
Really when we see a place like that we make to ourselves conscious of the small ones that we are and also of the privilege of being a part of all that.
Wonderful post
