He just lays on his bed. Yet just a few short years ago, he was a vibrant, upbeat individual. As a developmental optometrist, I see mostly children.

Living Your Respect by Rachel Astarte Piccione

We Indians…know that everything has power. Stones have power. A blade of grass has power. Trees and clouds and all our relatives in the insect and animal world have power. We believe we must respect that power by acknowledging its presence. By honoring the power of the spirits in that way, it becomes our power as well. It protects us. —Russell Means
