Taos, New Mexico
I am not of Native American heritage but I have always wished that I could claim I was. I suppose it’s because I find traditional Native American’s to be such peaceful, wise, self-reflective and respectful people. True Native American people just seem to “get” the meaning of life. They live by simple philosophies and I think that the Anasazi Prayer above says it all.
~ Wishing everyone a fabulous Friday ~
I love this!
Thank you and thanks for stopping by.
Amen to the prayers and have a fabolous friday as well. Simple and great post, thanks for sharing the prayers
Thank you. Sometimes simple is all you need.
What a beautiful prayer. It should be that way between every two people. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I love this prayer. It really covers it all.
Nice photo, great words.
Thanks, John. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful, personal blog, Susan! Inspiring, m’dear… have a lovely weekend.
Thank you so much. Have a lovely weekend too. Thank you for stopping by.
Beautiful! I am fascinated by everything American Indian too!
I know, they seem to be very intuitive people who appreciate the land and what is around them.
Love it to bits…
Thanks!
Love this…reminds me of a Native American/desert spirituality pilgrimage I took a few years again! Good way to start the weekend! Thanks!
That must have been a great trip. Thanks for stopping by. have a great weekend.
Wonderful photograph… Thank you, have a nice weekend, love, nia
Thanks, Nia. Have a wonderful weekend.
Great capture and I love the inscription.
Thank you!
Y’know… my mother-in-law didn’t know she was part Chippewa until she was an adult. I am, per the tribe records, a White Spouse, which I think is a hoot.
haha! My husband keeps claiming he’s part Cherokee, but I have my doubts. But if it’s true, that makes me a White Spouse too!
I hope, if he finds some Cherokee heritage, that it wasn’t kept a secret like my Sandra’s. Her (great?) grandfather wouldn’t have been able to keep his position as mayor if the community knew he was Native American. So the family didn’t come clean. Sad!
Beautiful post, Susan. Have a wonderful Friday.
Thanks, Gracie.
wonderful as always, i really enjoy your blog! have a great weekend
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. Have a great weekend as well.
Happy Friday – Here’s to a Beautiful Weekend:)
Thanks, Renee. Same to you!
My wife has always been interested in Native American culture. Just recently she bought a Native American flute for me, thinking that, since I played saxophone in junior high and high school, the talent would easily transfer over. It does not!
That’s funny! Maybe just having it will bring you good energy!
Gorgeous photo, Susan!
Thank you, Carissa.
Reblogged this on lesley-anne pittard.
Thank you for the reblog.
I particularly liked your commentary. Too often our First Nations are the subject of derogatory comments but I am more in tune with your thinking.
I did wonder what people’s perception would be about what I said because some people would completely disagree. But that is my opinion and, well, it is my blog.
I absolutely adore this!! I’m 1/16th (not much I know) Cherokee, but I’m still proud of it. I’ve always wanted to do a shoot to portray what the Cherokee mean to me, but it’s hard! Haha!
I don’t know where you are from but Arizona and New Mexico are great places to go to capture the Native American lifestyle.
