 There are many bundles that we talk about; the pipe, the drum, the rattle, medicines, and our children. Those are all sacred. But I believe the most sacred bundle of all is the little girl and little boy that lives inside of us. So the healing begins, the brushes begin to move, eyes begin to open, the fire is rekindled, the old self dies, and the new arises. Heal the child within, and life becomes sacred. Living begins to mean something again.

I am seeking to heal, to know natural joy again and to express the true self.
