The Grass Doctor

Can any American Indians (Blackfoot) or anyone answer this for me?

How would you analyze this quote? What do you think its meaning is? “What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
