Quote by Chief Oren Lyons
I do not see a delegation
For the four-footed.
I see no seat for the eagles.
We forget and we consider
Ourselves superior.
But we are after all
A mere part of the Creation.
And we stand somewhere between
The mountain and the ant.
Somewhere and only there
As part and parcel
Of the Creation.
-Chief Oren Lyons, Onondaga Nation, Iroquois Confederacy

I like this reminder. We surely are not superior to other species but in one way, we can excel and that is our power to appreciate and be aware of what we have been given.
