Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Good morning villagers.
Last week I went to another wake for a Native American Elder and after the wake his family had a 2 day long ceremony for him. Beautiful the way in which they celebrate the life of their people. He lived to be almost 100 years. A lot of history and living. A couple of years before he past, his tribe came to him and asked if he would let them write down his life. He agreed and they put his life, way of life, tribal ceremony ways, stories and thoughts on life in their tribal archives. He did a lot for the children and in the community. He also shared his culture with children and people from different tribes in his younger years.
A very patient and kind man with a lot of wisdom. He was loved and blessed.
During the ceremony I thought about the village and how we are creatinh, sharing and preserving who we all are for others and future generations. Said a a good prayer for everyone too.
After the ceremony I slept for half a day -it was intense and took it easy for a couple more.
With the new moon and all of these aspects in water; I just finished a 4 day water fast. Tough one for my little
double Leo self, but did it. Took care of my-self had a full body massage, foot reflexology and tooka couple sea salt & Epsom salt baths. All of these aspects in Picses have been a little overwhelming and watery, but I have done my best to go with it. Feeling highly sensitive. Working in my garden some, feels good to be outside in the sunshine. Not feeling in anyway like communicating ( but have peeked into the village from time to time) and have been staying off the Internet and away from electronics in general -sensory overload. I have some catching up to do in the village.
Wishing everyone a beautiful day.
Love
Nora
