"My heart has joined the thousand for my friend stopped running today."

Prayer for Words

My voice restore for me.

Diné

Here is the wind bending the reeds westward,

The patchwork of morning on great moraine:

Had I words I could tell of origin,

Of God's hands bloody with birth at first light,

Of my thin squeals in the heat of his breath,

Of the taste of being, the bitterness,

And scents of camas root and chokecherries.

And, God, if my mute heart expresses me,

I am the rolling thunder and the bursts

Of torrents upon rock, the whispering

Of old leaves, the silence of deep canyons.

I am the rattle of morality.

I could tell of the splintered sun. I could

Articulate the night sky, had I words.

~ N. Scott Momaday

Walls have ears.

Doors have eyes.

Trees have voices.

Beasts tell lies.

Beware the snow.

Beware the man

You think you know.

"Relatively few are free enough from the spell of the daily routine to respond to rappings from outside, and tales of ordinary feelings and events, or of common sentimental distortions of such feelings and events, will always take first place in the taste of the majority; rightly, perhaps, since of course these ordinary matters make up the greater part of the human experience."

~ H.P. Lovecraft
