i was reading this article and at the end was this quote and i just can't stop thinking about it.
“If you don't breathe,
There is no air.
If you don't walk,
There is no earth.
If you don't speak,
There is no world.”
-a navajo elder told his grandson this.
in another note...i think i heard one of the saddest stories ever. my friend fernanda told me tonight, and i was completely dumbfounded by what she was saying. i wanted to just give her a big hug, but i knew that it would be very inapproriate to do. of all the people and all of the stories that i have heard, i would have never figured that that could have happened to her. kind of odd how your form bonds with people and how close those bonds are. i'm glad that she thinks of me as a person that she could share that with, because i don't think i know many people that would have done the same if they were in her shoes.
i find it interesting to just sit and listen to people tell their story, because i don't think that we really do that back home. and it truly helps you understand a person much more than just hi my name is, where are you from, and that kind of thing. because everyone has a story and everyone's is different.
