Sig,
I wish I'd seen this post earlier. I just came back from a holiday in the southwest of the US. I was soaking the cultural history like a sponge in my contact with the First Nations people. It felt intensely spiritual in an almost embarrassingly way. I've only felt this connected emotionally with an other being since I got to spend a day on a research vessel in New England; identifying and counting Humpback whales in Stellwagon Bank, their summer feeding grounds in the Atlantic Ocean.PartlyCloudy
