Well, hell, looks like I won't be around for a few days, have to rush down to TN to deal with Hubby's mother. Ugh! This woman hates me and I don't know why - lol! But I am the only one that will deal with her. Hope hubby appreciates me. LOL! Should be back by Sunday night if everythings goes well. Am not looking forward to paying this outrageous gas prices. Where I live I need a 4-wheel truck to get me in and out of home to main roads, now I pay the price for my 10 year old Blazer with the gas prices.
I will return a much poor witchway - lol!
Before I leave I want to share this with you all.
When hubby and I were down on Cherokee rez last year, I met a young artist whose one piece of work I bought, he was nice enough to sign it for me. Any way, I have always loved the "End of the Trail" picture and in the center of this painting he had that, plus so much more. Too much to explain, but in a circle around painting he had the following words. Don't know if they are his or what, but very profound.
Despair not, the people return
The Heartbeat Thrives
We have lost much great-grandfathers,
but not totally despair.
Our people are returning to the Circle, respecting the old ways and values.
We remember.
The Elders have helped us.
We glory again in our hearts.
With the Great Spirit at our Center,
we sing and dance again.
With Pride,
We follow the Good Red Road.
Until I am back among you all
Walk in Peace
Witchway
