Walking through spaces where walls used to be I transcend time finding myself in this great gathering place of time long ago.
Children see me first and a little girl takes me to her grandmother... Grandmother says she knows me, that I have floated in on the wind.
I am invited to listen to tricksters tales, to laugh, to feast, to dance, and to pray great prayers lifted on smoke and carried to the Great Watchman above.
When I come again to this great place looking empty and broken, it will once again come alive as I remember the little girl and the grandmother who welcomed me as I floated in on the wind.
THIS GREAT PLACE...
