"Shared Knowledge"
Doug Hyde, 1981
Honor the sacred.
Honor the Earth, our Mother.
Honor the Elders.
Honor all with whom we
share the Earth:-
Four-leggeds, two-leggeds,
winged ones,
Swimmers, crawlers,
plant and rock people.
Walk in balance and beauty.
Native American Elder

Is it still winter down there? My goodness! (Not that I'll hear from you again, now that you know what I look like. (Scary, eh...)
ReplyDeleteAnother very talented sculptor.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is still another nice piece. I like it too.
ReplyDeleteI always thought a good theme-day subject would be public sculptures in our cities. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteThe elders were wise. This sculpture and the saying go together very well.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and message. NIce "play" of shade and light.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful. I am fascinated by Native American wisdom and language. Did you know that you can hear New Mexican stories told in the Keres and Tewa languages on the website of the Office of the State Historian? Go to http://www.newmexicohistory.org/featured_projects/ and click on "Telling the Stories." The sound of the spoken words is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis time is the sun playing with the sculpture. About the quote those could be the words of both my grandmothers, grown up in the Tuscan countryside.
