Wisdom

Humans have always benefited from the wisdom of those closest to nature.  Here is one very fine example of some of that wisdom.   


Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind.
 Did you think you were put here for something less?
 ~Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Lakota

     Whether that future change is small or great does not matter, it does affect all of us somewhere, somewhen and somehow.  The trolls have known this since the dawn of time.  Humans need to remember it.

The Lakota have had a long relationship with trolls and this was first published in a book by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve called  The Trickster and the Troll.  I highly recommend this book to all especially if you love wisdom, myth and trolls.  You can learn more about Ms. Sneve and her works  at http://www.ipl.org/div/natam/bin/browse.pl/A118
