インディアンの生死感を良く表している詩を紹介します。
自然とともに生きる人間本来の姿が集約されていると思います。
現代文明の中で生きる我々には、到底理解できないのかもしれません・・・
Today is a very good day to die.
Every living thing is in harmony with me.
Every voice sings a chorus within me.
All beauty has come to rest in my eyes.
All bad thoughts have departed from me.
Today is a very good day to die.
My land is peaceful around me.
My fields have been turned for the last time.
My house is filled with laughter.
My children have come home.
Yes, today is a very good day to die.
