A man whispered: God, talk to me !
And a nightingale began to sing,
but the man did not hear.
So, the man repeated: God, talk to me !
And a thunder echoed in the heavens,
but the man was unable to hear.
The man looked around and said: God, let me to see you !
And a star shone in the sky,
but the man didn't notice It.
The man began to shout: God, show me a Miracle !
And a child was born,
but the man didn't feel this new Pulse of Life.
So, the man began to cry and despair:
God, touch me and let me feel that you are here with me ...
And a butterfly landed softly on his shoulder.
But the man startled the butterfly with his hand,
and disappointed, continued his path, alone and afraid.

The Cherokee Commandments ...
Treat the Earth and all in it with Respect
Stay Close to the Great Spirit of Life,
showing Great Respect for all Living Beings
Work Together for the Benefit of the Humankind
Do what you Know is Right and Don't mind the rest
Take care the Well Being of mind and body
Devote a portion of your Efforts to a Greater Good
Always be True and Honest
Take full Responsibility for your Actions.
