Giving...
The Greaves : Donated $600 to charity to buy tools for workers burned out in a fire in British Columbia, Canada, to win a bid for a three-day/two-night getaway at The Kivas House! Thank you for letting us help by providing a home-base for your hiking and sightseeing adventure!
The Vagens : These lovely next-door neighbors loan us their propane torch for occasional projects, let us use their extra trash can space for yard cleanup, and are generous with plant advice as well as seeds and pups. We haven’t really hosted them yet, but hope we have the opportunity to contribute as richly to their lives as they have to ours.
The Bramlett Sisters : Claudia and Rhonda are a party unto themselves. We shared meals, margaritas and mounds of dishes! They gave us a beautiful handmade clay rattle for the kiva and hosted Lin at a posh luncheon with some of their tribe.
Leonard “Eagle Cloud” Howell and his wife, Angelaya, (pictured above standing left of Ellen and me, in our front yard, with Cathedral Rock looming in the background) led a beautiful Kiva blessing and ceremony when they were in Sedona for an Arcturian and Shamanic week in October, 2003.
Mysterious forces were at work, if you believe it isn’t all plain as the nose on your face!, and only travellers attended. (I’m spelling it with two L's for a reason I cannot document). They also added a beautiful turquoise rattle from Mexico to our ceremonial room. We loved having them here, and Ellen invited them back anytime, mi casa es su casa. Aho!
One of the couples who visited were people I met at Palatki only that very day, and felt inspired to invite. Aivi and Christian Coutin, recently from China, said they felt the ceremony was created especially for them while they were on their Inner Quest around the world. They brought wonderful incense and a glorious blue faceted crystal which now adorns the moon katsina in the kiva.
Jane Purdy brought handmade clay plates...she has not yet disclosed where she thinks her move may lead her.
Barb, aka Mother Pearl Justice, (don’t you just feel like you know her from somewhere?) was especially blessed, hugged and supported, because it is so hard for some to leave this extravagantly beautiful place. But she feels the call to get back to her-God-Goddess-All-That-Is-Given work, so we wished her well and extended an invitation to come back and report on the outside world!
We all made music, told story with a talking stick and sang, “_____, love you forever, love you forever...”
...to be continued (there is much to add!) Share our mission—flow: always be giving, always be receiving.
