63. i will burn sage & cedar for you and your family
Fri Apr 1, 2016, 04:01 AM
Apr 2016

this weekend and on monday and offer prayers that your hearts remain strong through this ordeal.

in the past, it has been helpful to me when experiencing an ordeal to think of it as a ceremony of rounds. in my mind i breath in the steam and sing the songs for each round... it helps - i have terrible ptsd and sectioning the time in rounds in a sacred way helps me.

i am very sorry you and your family are having to endure this terrible ordeal. justice and peace for your cousin and your nephew on his road.

in a good way, hopemountain
