How I came to choose Wind Spirit
While old_cutter_john and I were hiking in Red Rock Canyon today, I was inspired to begin a journal. I think I started subconsciously ruminating about it during our recent visit with nickykaa and Dragon Lady. old_cutter_john suggested that I use Ma Teresa as my journal ID since he's always called me that in his writings. I told him I didn't want to use that because it was not humble enough, which he thought strange. Though I've never been self-centered or egotistic, God has still given me many obvious lessons in humility. I've learned that I can feel good about myself and be strong for others, and yet be humble at the same time. As humility has become more and more entrenched in my personality, I've become more effective as a therapist and more at peace with myself.
I decided that what I wanted was a handle that reflected my connection with nature (God's creations) and Native Americans. Ever since I was a young child I've had dreams of being a young Native American girl with long black braids. In each dream I was kneeling by a rushing stream. Whenever I'm hiking in the mountains or the woods on a warm day, and the wind begins to blow, I find myself saying, "Thank you grandfather wind." Sometimes I think I was a Native American in a former lifetime. Strangely enough, there have been many times when someone has asked me if I'm a Native American. When I feel the wind, it seems to be making me stronger. _wind_spirit_ seemed just right.
