The Sundance on Saturday night stretched our intellects as we literally stepped onto unchartered territory of our own. The Yellow Kidney family was incredibly hospitable and a few members took us under their wing, ushering us into the sacred space and fave us key pointers on appropriate behavior. But still our minds were stretching to try to understand their customs and philosophy as well as the meaning of their action during the Sundance. But, on a more intuitive level, our hearts felt more at home -- more comfortable with the idea of looking up at the center pole wrapped in people's prayer banners which people had been carrying all year. All this to pray to the Creator Spirit, to sing and dance our prayers all the way to God.
