Native American Axiom - Wind


When one hears the wind whisper a truism, does that one turn on a deaf ear,

so not to hear? Or does that one, listen more closely to earth through the

`train on fingertips? The sky that carries the winds-whisper, already knows

the melody in which wind sings, but wind cannot hear sky, for he/sky is as

silent as a prayer. Therefore, wind is sky's voice and wind is earth’s voice

making sky and earth, brother and sister and father and mother.

Without wind to carry sound… there is only silence.


FifthDove,
Shawnee Nation

Author notes

In traditional logic, an axiom or postulate is a proposition that is not
proved or demonstrated but considered to be either self-evident, or
subject to necessary decision. Therefore, its truth is taken for granted,
and serves as a starting point for deducing and inferring other
(theory dependent) truths.

    oh yes this speaks great truths, some people don't have that open mind to listen beyond what they can hear in the now. This poem is sensational

    Wisdom comes upon the wind but we must be open to hear it

    I am an idiot, you made me cry,
    this poem makes me feel pain.
    You told me a story
    my friend in the wind;
    Truth either feels like joy
    or pain but it always leads to peace.
    Thank’s, the poem is a truth.
