The Deceit Of Obsession

Lakota Ghost Dance Shirt

The word which comes from God may be forgotten, even though it be engraved in stone.

The word which comes from the idol of our own self is an obsession, which never leaves us.

That which we believe to cover the Earth from the rising until the setting and beyond through the watches of the night is the scintillation and play of human mind.

The cloth shirt the Great Spirit uses to cover the Earth and to keep it well is akin to a Ghost Dance shirt, and its power is that of invisibility.
