Talking
~Author Unknown~
There is great danger in talking at the wrong moment.
One cannot listen while talking.
One cannot breathe while talking.
One cannot ride the wind while talking.
One cannot learn while talking.
One cannot drum while talking.
One cannot become the spirit while talking.
One cannot ever express the whole truth by talking.
One cannot become the animal while talking.
One cannot stalk while talking.
One cannot pray in truth while talking.
The Elders know this and talk only when their words can help. When words are
wasteful, as they often are, the path becomes unclear and dangerous. The safer
path is one of respectful silence.
Let the crow speak his message while we listen in silence.
