still in the glow of the full moon lovingkindness sangha, today’s pilgrimage is flowing across the river to be with the river people who have lived here for eleven thousand turns around the sun… the people who have such a sense of belonging to land, to place, such a relationship of  intinacy/into me i see and sensitivity with landscape with so much to teach and show those of us who have only been here five hundred years and are still naturalizing…

siting now in this healing story circle, the songs of the ancestors, of the earth flow through the ocean of being connecting  all in an unbroken circle…
