When we are there, we are in another world/life. AND WE BELONG.....we are known as the "Sarong Sisters", and we answer to it proudly. This pow wow is far away from any city, so we live in a cool tent/tippi city. There aren't that many white people that go. It's a wonderful world. Man, Jon, You’re sooooo right !!!

Well, you can't be everywhere at once! But next year, perhaps. Actually, one of my missions for this year is to score another silk-screened shirt from a certain Native artist. I've worn last year's version many, many times... Oh yes, that… Well, you can’t be everywhere at once! But next year, perhaps.

There is deep joy in experiencing a culture of fellow humans NOT based on guilt, greed, and destruction of Nature. It always lifts me up. Sounds like you get it. :-)

We have acquired a lot of wonderful friends and spend the weekend sleeping in her tent. (earplugs at night to sleep, they drum all night!!) We both end up crying during the opening dance......the friends, the drums the "centering" !! What a euphoric experience !!
