Doc John- Thank you for the requested edits.

A stunning video Thunderbow. I give you my respect and love.

I think its important to say that when we are speaking of the sacred, no matter what faith, every detail in life becomes meaningful and powerful. From the sky to the earth, to the feathers of a bird, to a grain of sand. Everything has a meaning, a place, and a purpose.

Its interesting that the Navajo sand paintings and mandalas have a lot in common in design and function. Each symbol has a special meaning, each meaning is a volume of spiritual information, so that looking at a feather for instance, means spirit, life, energy, beauty, freedom, kindness, love. Its my point of view that when the natives crossed the land bridge into the Americas, they brought with them the mandala art form and over time, adapted it to their personal circumstances. Mandala means, literally, magic circle of life and I wholeheartedly believe in the magic aspect. The magic is a product of the love we can feel and the regard we have for the sacredness of life, all life and all that it brings to bear in our own individual paths.

I can see you are not just a showman. This is real. I have a deep respect for your work.

I would also like to say that the journey of life, no matter what path we choose, is, itself, sacred. In my journey, what made it the most spiritually profitable, was not only those that I met, it was my attitude about the learning process. I could have easily laughed about the funny looking lady who thought she could create miracles. Instead, I took in the whole of her, who she was, what she was about, what her mission was about. Had I taken her lightly and with little respect, my reward would have been significantly less. She was not the only good spirit I met on my journey. It is a wealth I treasure deeply.

Justmemaybe- I think youre right, that strength filters to us in a natural way from others. How much we receive and how much we benefit is dependent on how open we are to receive the fullness of it. Your grandma was a strong one.

Shattered- It means a lot to me you found this inspirational. Blessings to you on your journey.
