The first peace, which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people
when they realize their relationship,
their oneness,
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 Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit),
and that this center is really everywhere,
and that this center is really everywhere,
it is within each of us.
This is the real peace,
and the others are but reflections of this.
The second peace is that which is made between two individuals,
and the third is that which is made between two nations.
and the third is that which is made between two nations.
But above all you should understand
that there can never be peace
between nations until there is
known that true peace,
which, as I have often said,
which, as I have often said,
is within the souls of men.

Quelle belle déclaration d'amour de Black Elk, faite à l'humanité toute entière. Si seulement les hommes pouvaient un instant oublier les guerres et les conflits, les luttes d'influence, les trafics de tout genre, peut-être nos enfants pourraient rêver de ne jamais connaitre ce que nous avons vécu sans pouvoir devenir plus sage pour autant.

si vrai, cher Roger - si seuls les hommes pouvaient oublier la guerre et les conflits et les luttes de pouvoir - et n'oubliez pas la seule chose qui est important - la paix / l'amour de soi et des autres - IMAGINE!
Send to all politicians! Really terrific posts and image.
yes, the politicians certainly could use a dose of truth - a large dose, actually! along with those who rule the politicians! :)
