When the blood in your veins returns to the sea, and the earth in your bones returns to the ground, perhaps then you will remember that this land does not belong to you, it is you who belong to the land.
Native American Proverb
Basic values do not need to be changed or improved in the same way that tools, weapons, and instruments do. We simply need to remember that they have been a part of us. If we look past our modern arrogance to see the intelligence and the wisdom of our ancestors, we will be reminded that the older man or the woman. the greater the knowledge and the deeper the wisdom.
