an on line friend is promoting graditude this month and it seems like a worthy cause.
I just got back from a "sweat" its really a prayer ceremony and i feel quite blessed to be invited to attend, even treated a bit like a regular there tonight. it was almost all spoken in lakota, but prayers are understood in any language. the men offered up such heart felt thanks and prayers it was truly a gift to be there.
it was quite interesting, sitting around waiting there were about six of us and suddenly just as we went in many more men showed up maybe 15 in all. they seem to just totally accept this white women into their circle.
one guy said that we were crazy, it was soooo hot. i felt grateful that i was able to take it like a man. :)
