It's a "chilly juan" this evenin'! But, we're headin' for the solstice and that's what happens.
A little more muckin' and a little more gatherin'; sunny day, but breezy and cool. Let the boys out for a spell, this after. They sure are pleased, be able to strut around, front a the bunch, steada peerin' out sidewards from behind the barn. But, I suppose, if I were as handsome as them, I do a little struttin' myself.
Listened to the "bioneers" this mornin', wednesday on public radio. They always interview a lot a native elders, talk about our relationship to the earth. It's real nice, listen to their wisdom and how they work things out in their communities. This one fella mentioned they were havin' an election and it got real negative. So, the elders called it off, said "we're gonna start over!". Came up with some new guidelines. Whoever could find the most good in the other candidates, would be the winner. Sure made me chuckle.
Same fella, also mentioned, how they deal with trouble makers. Seems all the men in town get together and make a big type a sauna; maybe somethin' like a bonfire, so they all get naked and sit around swettin' and tellin' stories, generally related to the kinda trouble been stirred up, but never get specific, so no one gets singled out, or feels humiliated.
Thought about my mentor, Ray, Tom too, both, often, talked about preservin' the spirit of the horse. Talked about it, just as important as the horses very life. Interestin' how wisdom keeps comin' round.
Have a nice night.
Best,
