Bless the poets, the workers for justice, the dancers of ceremony, the singers of heartache, the visionaries, all makers and carriers of fresh meaning– We will all make it through, despite politics and wars, despite failures and misunderstandings. There is only love.Joy Harjo

A panther poised in the cypress tree about to jump is apanther poised in a cypress tree about to jump. The panther is a poem of fire green eyes and a heart chargedby four winds of four directions. The panther hears everything in the dark: the unspokentears of a few hundred human years, storms that will breakwhat has broken his world, a bluebird swaying on a branch afew miles away. He hears the death song of his approaching.Joy Harjo
