“When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still;
be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
– as it surely will.
Then act with courage.”
-Ponca Chief White Eagle
Tonight, I’m obsessing over this page of Native American quotes.
It is possible I did not fully appreciate Native American culture or oral tradition when I was first introduced to it in middle school. I think I was too busy sketching the Nirvana logo in the margins of my book to pay attention to the actual spiritual wisdom within. That’s ironic on so many levels.
Notably less wise: auto-start music on a web page, as exists on the one I just linked. Beware.
