Humans are vulnerable
and rely on the kindness
of the earth and the sun;
we exist together
in a sacred field of meaning.
— from Talking with the Sun in the poetry collection Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings by Joy Harjo. Harjo, a member of the Mvskoke (Creek) Nation and author of several children’s books, served three terms as U.S. Poet Laureate and is an award-winning musician.
