I loved it. It brought me back into alignment with the Mother Earth, and I learned how to once again open myself to the Spirit of All That Is.

BROOK MEDICINE EAGLE AND I MET IN SANTA FE' DURING A SERIES OF MIRACULOUS SNOWS AND PRAYERS ANSWERED. SHE INVITED ME TO SING AND DANCE IN A SACRED SOCIAL CIRCLE...AND ALSO TO VISIT IN MONTANA AT THE RANCH...WHICH I HAVE NOT DONE YET...BUT WOULD LIKE TO DO. NATIVE ANCESTRY TRACING ALL THE WAY TO SEQUOIA DOES NOT TALK MUCH ABOUT PRAYERS ON THE OUTSIDE, AND NEITHER DO THE APACHE TALK MUCH ABOUT THEIR SACRED SONGS. SO THIS IS A RARE AND A GENUINE OFFERING WITH HEART.
