Abstract
The primary motivation behind my thesis work came as a need and a desire to express a growing alliance with the creator and the natural world. The Native American has broadened my awareness of the affinity of both the spiritual and physical world through his beliefs. This has brought about a total commitment to nature with an intertwining through all the phases of my life. As a result of this involvement, the relationship of all things to one another becomes quite evident. A natural cycle is realized and can then lead one to a better understanding of what shall be termed the circle of life.
