"Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men,
we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents.
Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.
We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket,
he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being
was not determined by his wealth.
We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians,
therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don't know
how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things
that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society."
- John (Fire) Lame Deer, Sioux Lakota - 1903-1976

In the last two years,
I went through something that almost destroyed me.
I was not okay for awhile.
Actually I was visibly going through something for a long time and they say death tells you who your real friends are, but sometimes it tells you, you have very few.

Sometimes the greatest tragedy is going through something life changing and devastating and needing someone, but losing almost everyone.

Sometimes people don't show up the way you expect them to, but sometimes the people you lost get replaced for much better things. Sometimes the letting go is really just making space for new relationships to grow.

“One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.”
