Web of life

'Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves.
 All things are bound together.
All things connect.'

Chief Seattle

Chief Seattle  (1780-1866) was a Duwamish chief and namesake of the city of Seattle. It is the only major city in the United States named for a Native American leader. He was accommodating of the new white settlers and for a speech that discussed ecological responsibility.The speech itself has become  controversial due to its numerous translations from the native American tongue it was spoken in and questioning  of what the chief  actually said.

The above quote however is so relevant today.....

Meanwhile this is another work-in-progress......



Based on cup-and -ring markings it actually became more spiral.  Runes run along the  the bottom half. I'll leave it awhile ...but for now it's quite engaging....
