POPSRed Cloud, Oglala Lakota Through out my life, I have owned many cars, trucks, a boat, farms, Trailers, and left them all behind without a second thought, but the people around me scoffed at me for loosing these things, they are only things and mean anything in my eyes and heart. I was happy living in a tent in the bush, my children told me they would be happy living with me in the tent, because there was love there and that is what we all need, we don't need things in our lives to make us happy, we need each other.
