Words Before Us

When you rise in the morning,

give thanks for the light,

for your Life, for your Strength.

Give Thanks for your Food and for the joy of Living,

If you see no reason to give thanks,

the Fault Lies in Yourself.

-Tecumseh (1768-1813)

chief of the Shawnee Nation and Native American icon.

These are words spoken and stated before us.

Part of the journey may be understanding the prior path.

Part of the journey may be stirring in or stirring out.
