"There is an undercurrent of interconnectedness, of brotherhood.
11 is the diplomatic peacemaker, and the number of the heart, but is probably best known for drawing people together. To go a step further, consider this: one of the darkest of human tendencies is to separate ourselves from our fellow man, to alienate. This makes it possible for mankind to cause death and mayhem among their own kind. When that sense of distance is lessened, we are unable to cause each other such profound pain." Hans Decoz -

All My Relations

-

-
* The phrase "All My Relations" is an English translation of a Lakota Sioux prayer of oneness and harmony with all forms of life: other people, animals, birds, insects, trees and plants, and even rocks. It reminds us that we are connected to these other aspects of Creation, that we share a common kinship in the Hoop of Life. It is an Acknowledgement of Love, Respect, Humility, Honour, Gratitude, Health, Harmony, and Forgiveness for Everything in the Universe.
