All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man. The air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

Chief Seattle (Si’ahl/Sealth) 1854

[the-hearth-and-the-wild]

The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people.

Chief Seattle, in a letter to the U.S. Government, 1852

"Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." —Chief Seattle [x]

[litandlifequotes]

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
