Black Elk Quote

“The first peace, which is the most important, 
is that which comes within the souls of people 
when they realize their relationship, 
their oneness with the universe and all its powers, 
and when they realize that 
at the center of the universe 
dwells the Great Spirit, 
and that this center is really everywhere, 
it is within each of us.” Black Elk
