humankind has not woven the web of life. we are but a thread within it,whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. all things are bound together all things are connected.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -chief seattle-

there are things you don't know about,
things that go unseen,
things that chill our very soul,
things that muffle our screams.
there are things that hide behind us,
things that feed on flesh,
things that try to find you,
things that don't need rest.
the night may hide,
what need not be seen,
forgotten by the sun,
only remembered in dreams.
lovely killers,
stalkers of the night,
children of darkness,
fearing the light.
