We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.
Native American Proverb (via earthlingmag)
We were at the base of a stone tree made by men. The tree had stiff branches all the way at the top. But what held the attention of the man beside me was a stone in the tree. There were markings but I couldn't understand them.
"What do they say?" I asked before I reached out.
He took my hand as gentle as he could.
"It says, 'Bitter are the wars between brothers.' It is a proverb from ages past."
"But why is it here?" There was an unspeakable pain in his eyes. Why was he hurt? Was it because of the proverb?
"The king put this here as a reminder of what happened, I imagine," he answered, leading me away after taking one last good look at the stone.
