“Here is the answer, I wrote my friend, and enclosed the fine feather I had just found at the river. Just as surely as spring lies under the iron-hard winter ground of the Plains, just as surely as water runs beneath the ice, such gifts are never gone, even when they are given away. The way we keep such gifts of love, it turns out, is to give them away.”
― Roger Welsch, It's Not the End of the Earth, but You Can See It from Here: Tales of the Great Plains

“Simply put, the Lakota phrase is composed of two adjectives--wakan meaning "mysterious" and tonka meaning "great." Great Mysterious. No Nouns. Just adjectives.

Of course. That was it. This simple, declarative definition hit me as an epiphany. God is not a noun; God is adjectives. We white folks in the mainstream have it wrong, and we've had it wrong for centuries, perhaps millennia. How much clearer it all is when you understand that simple and small truth: God is adjectives, not nouns!”
