I find so many of the indigenous beliefs to make more
sense than anything I've ever encountered in my personal
quest to "make sense of it all."
I've had the great fortune to make friends with some
traditionalist elders- GREAT sense of humor combined
with a reverent wisdom about the way things work, seen and unseen.
I grew up in a Congregational Church- caught caught up in
a Mega church for a brief time, and although I fully respect
all people and their beliefs, a church is the last place I would go today
to make sense of life-
Now my Blackfoot friends?
THEY make sense to me.
I can't wait to go and visit them in the spring.
