I watched the ravens last night swirling in the winds before the rain storm came
The doves and sparrows flitted around, unworried.
They tell us if something horrible is coming, if they stick around, you know it's ok.
Feeling the damp humid air along with cool air swirled and drifted
I sat outside watching the clouds and feeling the wind behind my legs
Randy came to the door like Auntie Em and asked me to come in.
I had recollections of the storm in Lampasas Tx and somehow feel
so grateful each time I see strong clouds.
Dark, fierce and changing.
Splendid is the cool warm breezes that fly through this basin
The mountains and the sands
 

The Lone Star Sun Dance was one of the most profound and amazing things that I have ever been to.
I want it to be in my life always.
It has changed the way I look at my life here in Alamogordo.
My family, husband and our space in Maine.
My bitterness and anger has lifted from my spirit.
Sigh, I am happy.
How amazing?!
Offering tobacco each morning and praying and giving thanks.
All my relations.....blessings and beyond.
Here are some of the things that I experienced:
Hot blazing Sun
New friends
Deeper friendships with those that I came with
Cedar Camp
Chiggers and Fire Weed
Fire watch from midnight to 3am and function on low sleep
The Storm
Between two worlds.....holding on to an elder woman and my daughter, I in the middle
The drums still playing in my head
Pounding my feet to the ground to the beat
The TREE, glorious and amazing
Witnessing amazing things
witnessing Buffalo Skulls swinging and dragging
Witnessing breaking from the tree by many people
Mystery Circle
Fry bread and sausage
Beautiful people
Love and Respect
