That's a very beautiful post morfe, and it made me think that perhaps that which some consider 'sacred' is not dissimilar to that which others 'respect'. If, as with the Cherokee, we respect the quality of water, and the cosmos that contains it, we are not only showing respect for those things but also acknowledging their right to be; and perhaps in so doing, acknowledging the fact that we are just one small part of all that is and is not.
