Dance with Them

"When I went to the dance, I went only to see and to learn what the people believed; but now I was going to stay and use the power that had been given me. The dance was over for the day, but they would dance again next day, and I would dance with them."

Black Elk

I like this passage from Black Elk. Upon seeing his people, both women and men, holding hands in a big circle - he was filled with happiness and reminded to get to work to help his people back into the sacred hoop.
