I was with a friend today. We were talking about lands, earth, and discovery. We were discussing the roles of elders and ancestors in our lives. As we reached the peak of our conversation on the topic of ancestors and elders a mighty wind blew her door open and stoked the fire in her wood stove. Naturally, this brought us to a pause in conversation...
A breath...
And with a gentle exhalation...
We gave a deep bow of thanks to those upon whose shoulders we stand as we continue to live our complicated and yet rich lives.
Thank you to all those who have helped me, taught me, paved the way for me...
Thank you to my loved ones...
For us all...
We are so blessed for the paths you have taken with your bodies, your hearts, and your spirits.
