WE had never seen a rain dance.
They wore beautiful feathers and they called it a headdress
My sister, Squirt forgot her umbrella.
She did the rain dance.
The chief smiled
Then the chief brought out a ceremonial peace pipe.
My sister screamed out really loud, "How will that make make peace?"
Everyone laughed. I wanted to hide under a rock.
The chie was really nice and didn't even let out one chuckle.
"All tribes are uniting during this time of great change"he said. "It is called the quickening"
"There will be peace It begins here" he
said and he made a fist with his hand and he placed it right over his heart and then it got really quiet
In the background was the the soft beating of drums.
Then the wind seemed to kick up and it whirled around us making a kind of whirring sound and blowing our hair alround.
"Seminole wind" the man said
Squirt looked around.
"Align with Spirit", the old Chief said.And then my sister stood up really straight.
" Prepare fpr the next step of the journey"
"Are we going somewhere?" Squirt asked "
"This is an inner journey", He said ."We are at the crossroads. The quickening is here... Simplify. Be sure that love in all forms
is a priority in your life... Be loving in every area of your life.
The chief said,"This is there the journer begins"
My sister and me were very quiet on the way home that night.
It seemed like he was trying to say something really important to me and my sister, but we didn't know what
The chief said that we would know what to
do when the time is right. We can't really tell time yet, though
We both slept really good that night. I dreamed I
I saw Mother earth and I saw some nature spirits and they smiled at me.
