Something I wrote this morning -- not sure where I'm going.

When the Taime lived, when the Grandmothers still breathed, we walked on the land eye to eye; the buffalo thundered on the land and in our veins. But the Taime died and the Grandmothers became just a bundle of sticks and rags. Now we dance in memory but our dance has no power

This is interesting. I have Thoughts which may not be relevant. I need to go away, think about it, and read it again later. Hmm.

I got goosebumps.

I really like it. I see Native American all over it, but it would be interesting to see if it were not humans at all. . .

Thank you! NA, yeah. I'm still working on it, which means that I haven't given up. I'll post it when I've got a first draft and let you know via FB message.
