The Other

The Other intrudes
upon everyday life
with its own
opinions.

The Alter-ego

The alter-ego came unbidden,
trailing history
and lifetimes
of experience.
His agenda,
still unknown,
is his own.

ᎡᏆ-ᎠᏓᏅᏙ / The Great Spirit

ᎡᏆ-ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎨᏒᎠᏎ ᎨᏳ,
ᎤᎸᏌᏓ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᎴᏂᏙᎲ,
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎡᏆ-ᎠᏓᏅᏙ
Ꮭ ᎪᏪᎶᏓᏎ ᎪᏪᎵᏗᏁ.

The Great Spirit is love,
light, and life,
but the Great Spirit
does not write books.
