You have noticed that everything an Indian does
is in a circle,
and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and
everything tries to be round..... The Sky is round, and I have heard
that the earth is round like a ball, and so are
all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for
theirs is the same religion as ours....
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always
come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from
childhood to childhood, and so it is in
everything where power moves. ~ Black Elk
To lovers of the wild, these mountains are not a hundred miles away.
Their spiritual power and the goodness of the sky make them near, as a
circle of friends. ... You cannot feel yourself out of doors; plain,
sky, and mountains ray beauty which you feel. You bathe in these
spirit-beams, turning round and round, as if warming at a camp-fire.
Presently you lose consciousness of your own separate existence: you
blend with the landscape, and become part and parcel of nature. ~ John Muir
He drew a circle that shut me out -
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flaunt.
But love and I had the wit to win;
We drew a circle and took him in. ~ Edward Markham
