I just got home and will write this now, while it is still fresh in my mind. The Memorial for my Nephew was this afternoon...Sacred drums were beat, sending prayer up, sage smoke went up with prayers on it, rattles were singing, song was sung. A Memorial Video was played showing us the shinning moments of his life. A respected Elder and Medicine Man, Sun Bear, sang Amazing Grace in Cherokee. We cried we laughed, we said goodbye. Then we cried some more, till the tears were all dried up for today.
I will be going on Monday to spend the next week with her and her oldest son, she would not let me go until I promised her I would come. The time for her to face the reality of it is coming. Yes all who spoke of it to me, now is the time I will be with her, when it all becomes harsh reality.
My Heart is still on the ground, and I did not smoke.
Just letting you know, touching base. I will be absent for a while longer. She has no web service. But I take you with me in my heart.
Love and Blessings to you all, and look to your young people, your children . Hold them close, pay attention , listen. Even when you think all is right, listen and listen closely.
Thank you all of you, for the prayers and messages, I embrace them all
May You Always Walk In Beauty
