We borrow it from our Children.” Native American Proverb

Certain things catch your eye, But pursue only those that capture your heart. An old indian saying

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

( Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior)

May the Warm Winds of Heaven, blow softly upon your house. May the Great Spirit, bless all who enter there. May your Mocassins, make happy tracks in many snows, and may the Rainbow always touch your shoulder. Cherokee Prayer Blessing
