Imagine sitting quietly around a campfire. Deep throated Native
drums are playing softly in the distance and somehow remind you of
the beat of your mother's heart. A Native flute echoes in the wind
from tree to tree, and an uncommon peace begins to settle over you.
A sage old Native Warrior, in the full wisdom of his years, is
sitting with you ... and begins to speak ... and you close your
eyes to listen. He speaks of the old ways, he speaks of the old
honors, and he speaks of his love for his people and their devotion
to the balance in Nature. His heart and his words are kind and
gentle ... but the space between those words is filled with
foreboding. He offers hope, but ..... "This is the way I would
begin describe my waking vision ... a solo journey of four days and
three nights alone, into the wilderness ... a Lakota style "vision
quest" with no food and no water. It was a trail that would lead
deep into the heart, and the mind, and the body, and the Spirit "
......... Robin Miller
