"I was born as particle of light. My
mother was the Universe, my father, a star;
an idea born of life, becoming life, to seek
life. No man came before me, but myself.
No thought entered reality without my
knowing. I was one."
"Then came the scattering, when
clarity became confusion. Light became
darkness, love became hatred. I'd never
traveled that road before, when my fellow
life became a destroyer of life. My brothers
became my enemies, my sisters, the hunted."
"Everything was confused then, and I
sought to understand. What had changed?
Why had the harmony been broken into
chaos? Where could I retrieve that seed of
life that began it all, and save the world I
perceived as my own? For years, I fought
their battles, their wars, defending the peace
I so missed from my heart. And then one
day... I stopped. I was Chief Joseph of the
Nez Perce, now... I am life. I exist in a new
world, a new reality, where the seeking is
sacred. This is my story."
"Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where the sun now
stands, I will fight no more forever."
