Nothing is too big or small-everything holds a power, provides a teaching, and responds through an inner form. Beyond the material life of daily existence, there lies a world of interconnected relations made apparent in\u003c\/i\u003e Volume II, The Natural World\u003ci\u003e. This book graphically describes elements of life rooted in the Navajo philosophy of h?zhǫ́. A unified harmony results.
