“The Wise Man believes profoundly in silence – the sign of a perfect equilibrium. Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his selfhood ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence – not a leaf, as it were, astire on the tree, not a ripple upon the surface of the shinning pool – his, in the mind of the unlettered sage, is the ideal attitude and conduct of life. Silence is the cornerstone of character.”

Ohiyesa (Charles Alexander Eastman) – Wahpeton Santee Sioux

“Use what talents you have.
The woods would be silent

    This shot reminds me of a term the Washoe tribe uses: pokonip (spelling) meaning white death. Or a ‘still life’ – cool (no pun intended) shot!
