Woniya Wakan ---> The Holy Air
Woniya ----> we sit together, don’t touch, but something is there; we feel it between us, as a presence
― “Listen to the air. You can hear it, feel it, smell it, taste it. Woniya wakan — the holy air — which renews all by its breath. Woniya, woniya wakan — spirit, life, breath, renewal — it means all that. Woniya — we sit together, don’t touch,
but something is there; we feel it between us, as a presence. A good way to start thinking about nature, talk about it. Rather talk to it, talk to the rivers, to the lakes, to the winds as to our relatives.”
― John (Fire) Lame Deer, Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions
