My Christmas Tree

My biggest wish is for a world that is full of Love, and honesty!

Merry Christmas all!

Here is a picture of what I consider my Christmas Tree.

That tree is last years Sun Dance Tree. She stands adorned from the warrior Sundancers who captured her last summer. I came down off the hill from Hanblec'a, and the next day we went to cut down this tree for The Sun Dance Ceremony. The Tree is representitive of an "enemy" that is captured and brought back to the tribe. There the enemy is adorned and fed and given a position of honor within the tribe.

That day is called "Tree Day". The following morning the Sun Dance begins it's 4 day journey. We all gather around the arbor and the dancers dance around that tree all day for 4 days. NO food or water for the dancers during the dance. We pray for them to have the strength needed to pierce and break away from the tree.

That was back in August. Now it's Christmas time, and I have adopted this beautiful tree as my "Native American Christmas Tree".

A Tour Of My Home

So your on I-25 Southbound, in Colorado.

You take an off ramp in the little town of Apache Colorado. You look West by Southwest, and you'll see the other side of Cuerna Verde, from where I live. If you drew a straight line on a map, from here to where the very tallest peak is on the mountain in the foreground... You'll run right into where I live on the other side.

The dome house would be at the following Google Earth "Fly to" coordinates.

37 50' 13.23"N, 105 06' 10.09"W

Type those figures in and hit search...And BOOM! Your looking down my chimney.

Before I head back up on the 30th, I'll be posting some pictures of the land where I live. You'll get a grand tour.

So keep checking back till the New Year begins. You'll never know what I'll be up to next?

Be well all,

My Living Room

My Great Grandmothers rocking chair loves this place! She's back home now. I'm gonna start looking around for a donation stove. The Ohio Drum Conversion is ok, but it don't hold heat to save ya. Need thicker steel. The espresso pot? AWSOME! Works like a dream on that stove.
Be well all,
