In Guad We Trust
She is all around,
answering fervent prayers.
Working miracles
for those who believe.
Radiating goddess energy
out into the Universe.
Just being
an inspiration
and consolation.
Sepia Saturday: The Nez Perce
My grandfather, whose childhood years were spent in Wallowa County, Oregon, recalled that when he was a child, he used to see members of the Nez Percé tribe in the area, their summer hunting grounds. You may or may not know that the Nez Percé had been granted reservation lands in 1855 by the Washington Territory's territorial governor, Isaac Stevens. The land reserved for the tribe encompassed their traditional hunting lands, including the Wallowa Valley. But as settlement by whites continued and gold was found, the incentive to honor that treaty diminished. The Nez Percé were offered a much smaller reservation centered around Lapwai, Idaho with schools, a hospital and financial rewards. In exchange, they had to cede their hunting lands. Some of the tribal chiefs agreed, but Chief Joseph (1840 - 1904) refused.

I thank you for everything!
Peace be with you...
This is superb. We are surrounded by Guadalupe and yes, goddess energy is a good way of expressing it. The colors you have chosen and the design of this mosaic is not only artistically pleasing but the softness of it, the "blue haze" of it is really consoling. One feels a peace and warmth radiating from the image. Lovely.
