I was ready to turn the computer off when the notification of your post came in my mail.
I clicked and came to read it. I didn't expect you to give me so much..thank you, thank you!
Much of what he writes is what I've learned from the Navajo Tribe. I am amazed that alot of it could be spoken to me by an elder at some time and place. (The Choctaws became very "Americanized" very early and I wasn't around the Cherokee tribe until I was grown.)
It is validating for me to learn that someone else, who doesn't live on a reservation, has spent so much time studying the ways of the Indians. Since I am light-skinned, I am viewed as being very eccentric due to my approach to the belief system that I am most comfortable with.
I don't want to sound silly and I know that you will understand me, my being part Indian means that this is more important to me than I had expected.
I am going to read it again and drift off to sleep picturing the dark cave, the womb and the Great Mother. (Did you know that the wife/mother is the spiritual provider for the Navajo tribe? She is the possessor of all of the answers for her family members)
