Get Your Vaccination!

I recently took my kids back to the reservation. We went just for a few days. To see family, and friends. To get "old dine" grandma some firewood for the winter. To just visit. It is amazing there. The simplicity of life. The calmness. There is never a hurry to do anything. You just do it as you feel the urge. To take a minute from the hectic world of the city is priceless. To step back and see all the things that matter to you right there in front of you, pure amazement. It is a totally different way of life. But for some reason it is ok. It doesn't matter. Bathing out of a bucket with water warmed by a fire, you just chopped wood for, is the best. Life maybe hard there but for some reason it is relaxing. It brings a certain inner peace that other things cant. The beauty of the sun raising over the mesa. The stars shine bright because there are no city lights to drowned them out. The laughter that fills the air. The family that fills the hogan. The good times My son did not want to leave. He did a lot of work. But it seemed right to him. Like a place he wants to be. So my next thought is this: Why not take my kids and live there? Why not have them learn their rich culture? Why not have them live simply, and gain so much from it?
