All of you watch me. Don’t look around. Listen to what I say. The world is just as big as my body. The world is as large as my word. And the world is al large as my prayers. The sky is only as large as my words and prayers. The seasons are only as great as my body, my words, and my prayers. It is the same with the waters; my body, my words, my prayers are greater than the waters.
Whoever believes me, whoever listens to what I say, will have long life. One who doesn’t listen, who thinks in some evil way, will have a short life.
Don’t think I am in the east, south, west, or north. The earth is my body. I am there. I am all over. Don’t think I stay only under the earth or up in the sky, or only in the seasons, or on the other side of the waters. These are all my body. It is the truth that the underworld, the sky, the seasons, the waters, are all my body. I am all over.
I have already given you that which you need to make an offering to me. You have two kinds of pipe and you have the mountain tobacco.
-Jicarillo Apache, Killer of Enemies
