"Hold on to what is good, even if it is a handful of earth. And hold on to what you believe, even if it is a tree which stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it is a long way from here. Hold on to life, even when it is easier to let go. Hold on to my hand, even when I have gone away from you."

- Pueblo Verse


"I will be walking in the middle of your soul." - Oklahoma Cherokee love incantation
