"You have to have a lot of patience to hear those old people talk, because when they talk, they talk about motivation, the feeling, the unsound that is around the universe. They explain everything to one understanding. They bring it all together, and when they finish, just one word comes out. Just one word. They might talk all day, and just one word comes out."
--Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA
We need to be careful about judging the old ones when we talk. At first they may not make sense to us. Maybe we'll say they're old fashioned and don't understand. But the old ones do understand! When they speak, listen very carefully. Often it will take weeks or maybe even years before we understand what they are really saying. This is the way of Wisdom. We need to listen, listen, listen.

Great Spirit, today, open my ears so I can hear the Elders.

Great Spirit
Today you know my prayers, the answer
we seek seems at a distace. The meeting
of Eastern and Western medicine, can
that be the answer?
Why with your infinite wisdom can
Cancer not be irradicated, I've
prayed, used all the medicine I've been
taught to believe in, where is the healing?
Great Spirit to walk the path is how we were raised
to believe in you, we are weak, we are human
this day we need you more than ever.
