You have noticed that everything an Indian does in a circle and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything and everything tries to be round. All things are bound together. All things connect. I was connected with Ricardo. He was a leader and loved his work for his people and others. I respected his opinions and words of wisdom. He shared many spiritual rituals with many of us. Thank you for sharing Ricardo. You will be missed. Thank for your being there for us when we needed you.
And while I stood there
I saw more than I can tell,
and I understood more than I saw;
for I was seeing in a sacred manner
the shapes of things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes as they must
live together like one being.
Black Elk,
