Sweet Medicine Canyon
Home Sweet Home
from The Medicine Bear by Jesse Wolf Hardin
It was hard for an Apache-raised girl to understand, how some could see the planet as but a lifeless rock, upon whose surface a bounty was distributed for the good of man. Who saw animals not as spirits but as steaks, fur and wool, pet or threat. Who saw trees only as lumber to be turned into buildings or offer shade from the sun, who judged plants as being decorative or itchy, weeds or crops. To Omen, they were not just wondrous sunshine-eating entities, without whom humans and most of the life on Earth would die. They were proof of miracles, and reason for hope. The inspiration for a good and balanced life, and examples of how to live it. They were her ever growing, ever reaching truth. They were the medicine she would need.
The Medicine Woman
Traditional Wisdom
"I'm a third generation Hispanic folk healer, a curandero is the proper term...and we believe that if you listen very carefully to the plants they will tell you many different things...when to harvest, IF to harvest, and how to use them. It will also tell us how to heal an abused heart (soul if you like), and in 20 years, I've never known a plant to be wrong. I've been wrong, but not the plants." - Chuck Garcia, California Curandero

The wild woman carries the bundles for healing; she carries everything a woman needs to be and know. She becomes the medicine for all things. She carries stories and dreams and words and songs and signs and symbols. She is both vehicle and destination.-Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Just beautiful. I had deep pangs of longing to be in the canyon again as we wandered in the mountains next a stream yesterday. I so wanted to jump in that water, and I remembered long rambles up the wash, floating in canyonriver song, monarda and mullein and sweet clover pesto...beaver stew....
medicine lodge, goddess lodge, wood stoves and all the canyon wonderfulness. Give my deep love and gratitude to all the canyon inhabitants and the canyon herself.
Breathtaking!
Gives me such a sense of peace, beauty and love, a picture truly does speak a 1000 words
You have a wonderful home and family. Goddess bless and keep you!
amazing home you have as well as some amazing people you share it with...
