Quote for Today

qqu3

“Training began with children who were taught to sit still and enjoy it. They were taught to use their organs of smell, to look when there was apparently nothing to see, and to listen intently when all seemingly was quiet. A child that cannot sit still is a half-developed child.”

~ Luther Standing Bear, Lokota, 1933 ~
