It is the grain of sand in your shoes.

Don't be afraid to take one large step
because you can't cross a chasm in two small leaps.
They may forget what you said,
but they will never forget how you made them feel.

"Let us put our minds together as one."
--Irving Powless, Sr., ONONDAGA
If we sat in a circle and put an object in the center of the circle
and we all described what we saw,
everyone would see different points of views from each other. Some would even see opposites
because they would be sitting on opposite sides of the circle.
In other words, you don't have to see what I see for you to be right.
In fact, everyone in the circle is right based on their own point of view.
If we are willing to listen to every one's point of view, then we can get a more accurate description of the object in the center.
This is one way to put our minds together.
When we get the clarity from each other, we should give thanks and be grateful to each other.
