          Dwell for a moment in a single blade of grass.
           Discover the secret of snowflakes.
           In these patterns lie harmony, my child.
           In harmony, the universe.
                          -- Mother's Words

The luminous, flowing hair of Frank Howell's Native American women could easily be clouds that are "ten thousand winters old."
