with pretty little trinkets that
we collected over the years
when on vacation... some of
them we gave away, some we
threw away, and some we kept
in case we discovered holes
that needed to be filled... we
bow our heads to the sun god
for providing us with perfect
weather... we bow our heads
to the night god for giving us
the ability to fall fast asleep...
we try and ignore the food god
because our crops have not been
all that plentiful these last few
years... and perhaps it is the
rain god to whom we should
be talking as there has been
precious little of it... we mix
and match our clothes so it will
not seem like we are wearing
the same clothes each weeks but
there is really not much to choose
from, telling ourselves that it is
what it is and pay attention to
something else... we cook on an
open fire pit and use the forest
as our toilet, bathing in the clear,
clean water that runs by very
close to the house... our house
of clay bricks and sticks has no
lessons to be offered other than
it was all my family ever needed...
I am American and I currently live
on a reservation on the land just
above what was known as Colorado.
