Eve of the Ceremonial22 x 28 |
Just a short note on this one. The entire left area of figures,
behind the main figure, were my initial layin!
Sometimes, things just work out from the very beginning.
The secret is, recognizing it!
Of all the Native Americans captured here,
I make every attempt possible to go back and find them,
in order to pay them something for allowing me to be a part of their spirit.
There have been a few I cannot find.
And because of them, I have given away more things, to try to balance this lack.
We all need to do this. It is not so much a "legal" thing,
as it is a "moral" or "natural" thing.
The trees of the forest drop their needles,
the skies drop the water back to the ground it comes from,
all of LIFE creates a circle of giving and taking,
and giving again. Without it, we would not survive.
