"If you can listen, silence have words."

 “Dusty, when Winter comes, the land goes to sleep for its much-needed rest. After the land has rested, Spring comes and gives us beautiful flowers and trees, and the land is prepared to grow delicious foods for us and all of the animals. When the fields are ready to harvest, we appreciate the resting of the land, because of all the good things its gives to us.”

― John Everett Bass (Maternal Grandfather of Marsha Carol Watson Gandy)
