In the circle

In the circle we are equal

There is no one in front of you

And there's nobody behind you

No one is above you

No one is below you

The circle is sacred

Because it is designed to create unity

 

Lakota wisdom

 

Native Americans are imbued with the understanding that everything we do

affects the rest of the world. Everything is connected, and everything

is in balance—or should be. This connection exists not only between people, but also with other living beings, plants and animals, and even mountains and rivers, water and soil.

The circle symbolizes wholeness and connectedness, but can also be experienced as an embrace or limitation.

By experimenting with this, images orepisodes emerge that, however different, will always be reunited nto a comprehensive whole.
