When I Got Back To My Father

Sometimes Dreams Are Wiser Than Waking.

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 The Sacred Hoop Of My People Was One Of Many Hoops That Made One Circle, Wide As Daylight And As Starlight, And In The Center Grew One Mighty Flowering Tree To Shelter All Children Of One Mother And One Father. And I Saw That It Was Holy.

As You Walk Upon The Sacred Earth, Treat Each Step As A Prayer.

Crazy Horse Dreamed And Went Into The World Where There Is Nothing But The Spirits Of Things. That Is The Real World That Is Behind This One, And Everything We See Here Is Something Like A Shadow From That World.... It Was This Vision That Gave Him His Great Power, For When He Went Into A Fight, He Had Only To Think Of That World To Be In It Again, So That He Could Go Through Anything And Not Be Hurt

Like The Grasses Showing Tender Faces To Each Other, Thus Should We Do, For This Was The Wish Of The Grandfathers Of The World.
