would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens
to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth."

I heard a bird at break of day
Sing from the autumn trees
A song so mystical and calm,
So full of certainties.
