Bound Together
I bring herein the wisdom of the Native Americans:
“Humankind has not woven the web of life
We are but one thread within it
What ever we do to the web
We do to ourselves
All things are bound together
All things connect“
—Chief Seattle
My pretty Pony friend embellishes the precious meaning of the words.

Thinking of you, Ruthy. It was before this pony friend of mine that I took my pledge. Looking into his sweet eyes, I whispered to him : When I look into your eyes, I want to be certain that I am doing my best to preserve Life in all its forms.
Hence, this collage saw the light bringing the precious Native American wisdom along.

incredible photo-powerful message! Somehow we need to reach people’s hearts to effect change. This does it!
Carmen Mandel-... replied
Dave, thank you so much for your encouragement.
As you say … to reach people’s hearts …

Bush has bashed people’s brain with out right lies and confused people’s mental focus thru a program of mis-information; we need to reach people’s hearts and soul. As happened to you with your new horse!
I uploaded a very insightful article from a University of Oregon Law professor Mary Woods. It is that good! However, like I told her, “It’s too cerebrial’? It fights Bush mis-logic; but generally people are turned off to thinking. Your photo-Message, is what cuts thru the layers people build up around themselves. Very well done! I think you are on to something profound! we need to reach in to where people live!
