Quotes by Steven Charleston  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide Show respect to all people and when it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”
Steven Charleston, The Four Vision Quests of Jesus

“The key to the seeker’s quest is not in finding just the right piece of holy real estate on which to stand, but rather in so preparing his or her awareness that any space he or she occupies can become thin through faith.”
Steven Charleston, The Four Vision Quests of Jesus

“Celebrating what we hope for together is better than fighting over what we believe separately.”
Steven Charleston, Ladder to the Light: An Indigenous Elder's Meditations on Hope and Courage
