" It’s a way to turn your mind to the Creator and to make sure you’re dedicating everything to him. Get up in the morning, give thanks to the Creator. Have a chance to do some good, give thanks to the Creator. Whatever you do, make a little gesture to remind yourself that you are doing it in the presence of the Creator. "

― Kent Nerburn , The Wolf at Twilight: An Indian Elder's Journey through a Land of Ghosts and Shadows
