It's a small book that contains quotes and sayings of the Native American Indians (specifically the Navajo of North America, if I'm not mistaken) related to teachings, morals and observations of everything that surrounds us, it still has its relevance in the era that we live.

Nice little book

[Cheryl Licata · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an excellent gift for ending a year. It would also make a good beginning book for the new year, so I will probably read it again in January. Each page is full of words of wisdom. The photos complement the words. One example from the Hopi: "Take the breath of the new dawn and make it part of you. It will give you strength," Take that thought on your morning walk... Love pours through this book as smoothly as water from a pitcher -- love of nature, love of each other, and love of the Great Spirit. I feel so lucky to have this book; it is a keeper.

This is a thoughtful collection of the celebration of nature, peace, and life itself. The book contains valuable reflections from those of the Sioux, Hopi, Onondaga, Blackfeet, Seminole, and other First Nations people.

This pocket sized book brings us words of peace and wisdom from Native Americans.

There are some profound, wise and insightful quotes and sayings, most of which appear to be still relevant today. Here are just two of them -

( 1 ) Listen! Or your tongue will make you deaf.

( 2 ) Once you have heard the meadowlark and caught the scent of fresh plowed earth, peace cannot escape you.

It’s the kind of book that you can dip in and out of, and in a crazy modern world, it’s akin to balm for the soul!
