I brought out two special crystals with me for this journey: Great Great Grandfather's stone and a palm sized Tiger Iron skull for the Ancestors and my walking stick. I charged them with the Red Earth, the Sun and the blessings of the Grandfather Tree. I sat in stillness, absorbing that beneath me, above me, around me, within me. I sat in Beauty. I observed the minute details; the subtle movement of a weed; the sound of a passing beetle; the changing shadows; the movement of a cluster of juniper leaves that danced in the wind. This was a Sacred Moment in a Sacred Place. The power of both that time and place reside in my heart and are touched upon today at will. 10
