Salinas de Abo


This ruined Spanish Colonial Mission, 1622-1677 in Central New Mexico is one of three US Park Service Monument sites. The Gran Quivera trio is located north of the White Sands Proving Ground and west of Mountain Aire, NM. This little visited site is well maintained and worth a planned excursion.

Virginia Couse and Minisa Crumbo

I recently had the pleasure of visiting and touring, again, the studio/home of famed Taos Founder artist Irving Eanger Couse during the Centennial Celebration of the Taos Founders, now in full sway in Taos, NM. His fellow founder, Joseph H. Sharp's studio is also on the grounds of this Historical Society compound, on the edge of the old adobe walled city.

I am very happy to announce fall 2015 plans to document the Historic E.I.Couse home and studio and the adjoining Joseph Henry Sharp studio. The Town of Taos is currently celebrating the Centennial of the Taos Founders Society of Artists, of which Couse and Sharp were members. Virginia Couse Leavitt and Ernest Leavitt will be taped conducting a tour of the premises as well as the current E.I. Couse Collection exhibition of J.H. Sharp etchings. The taping is scheduled for early October. It is timed to coincide with the J.H. Sharp opening. Visit the website at: http://couse-sharp.org/

We all seek power. We all want happiness. There is no shame or blame, but it's not the Neshnabek (Potawatomi) way, in serving our own highest good first and in recognizing that the highest good functions best when it is in healthy and balanced relationship with the CREATOR. SPIRIT TALK speaks to us of the first gifts of Life and Breath bequeathed to us from the Creator. These gifts, Life and Breath upon our beautiful Mother Earth and Father Sky-Sun, guide and inform the reader's life and breath through a 12 month calendar cycle.

THE SPIRIT OF THE RAINBOW GATHERED for the Flint Hills Wisdom Keepers Gathering

THE SPIRIT OF THE RAINBOW GATHERED for the Flint Hills Wisdom Keepers Gathering, April 24-27, 2015 at White Memorial Camp, Council Grove, KS

 

BOZHO,
The Spring 2015 breezes on the Flint Hills prairie near the Santa Fe Trail Neosho river crossing town near Council Grove, KS were gently coming forward and breathing us into yet another earth based camp coordinated by the Flint Hills Wisdom Keepers Gathering based in Manhattan, KS. This group of grass roots activists and unity celebrants organizes and offers a diverse program of Indigenous Native American speakers whose programs drew principally from mind, heart, body and spirit oriented personal experience and observation. This year brought forward another remarkable interface on many levels. Each person would speak of the unique and universal interactive connections that took place from participating in or being present at the sunrise fire ceremonies, the sweat lodge, spirit offering plates collected each mealtime, circle teachings and the many, many other ways that life and breath unfold when people of good intent choose to spend dedicated living time together. The connections formed out of this and other times are diverse and talented, rich and broad, deep and enduring.

The weekend was initiated with a calling, gratitude, feeding and blessing ceremony to and from the Spirits of Place by a member of the Kansa or Kaw Tribe, original inhabitants of the region and continued on in a deeply mindful and prayerful vein for the entirety of the gathering. Upon conclusion of the gathering, the Spirits of Place and the Fire Grandfather were then remembered, fed and thanked for their gifts to us and released that they might return to their individual dwelling places and continue their lives 'in a good way'. Each attendant was enjoined to offer and personally participate in the conclusion of this ceremony that the Kansa elder and the Fire Chief made possible, by thinking on these things upon departing the camp site. These and many other things we will hold close, study upon and carry forward with us as our paths diverge into other interests and circles. Many of these things will be held close and quiet while others will appear in dream, some will whisper to the wind, other persons will write, sing, dance, think or recount stories to those who remained at home and place of work. Some will carry plant and seed of a physical nature to 'give-away' or plant in a window box or back yard garden. Tend the seeds well and water with love and good thoughts. 'Be breathed, Baby.'

It is always a good thing to be in right relationship with the inner and outer Spirits of Place that life might go on 'in a good way'. It is these and other teachings that make these things possible to live, grow and prosper within us, all the days of our lives ... now and forever more.

Shewendagzewin odo Pi,
A blessing has been bestowed upon us this day.

Bama mine,
Dawn Woman

We Nourish and Honor our Sacred Seed

JANUARY
Mother Earth Holds New Vision of Life -- The coming 13 months/moons will receive a hand colored Graphic of the Month.*

SPIRIT TALK
At this time we, each and every living thing, animate and inanimate, is beginning to emerge from the deep Winter Fires, visiting the seven listening days and the seven dark nights and days for a final purification of the new dreams before accessing the earliest perimeters of Spring, the third week of January.

Rest. A time of great labor lies ahead.
