Back on the Rez

Date: 1/6/2024

I’m back in Montana, back among the Blackfeet. I’m sitting crossed legs on the floor of a room with other people from Italy I probably know and am talking to the host of the “event”, a red skinned young man. He doesn’t know who I am, but says when he looked at my face he saw something familiar, like I’d been there before. I tell him I have!!! It all feels so eerie and powerful at the same time! I tell him I was there in another life too probably, but also in 2010. When he tells me his name is Shannon… Comes… I finish his name up and throw myself around his neck for a big hug!!!! “It’s me!!! It’s B!!!!”. I’m so happy to meet him!!!! So then we walk around “camp” and I get to meet or see again other people, like Dawn, who looks like something of a cross between Ambo and Anne from the garden, she’s tall, curly haired and is animating a “bundle” dance/ritual. It feels good to be home and to see everyone is happy to welcome me again! I’m with a child who’s my brother, but he looks darker and sort of Central American. He’s shy, feels uncomfortable and I’m a little displeased by his attitude. I try to have him open up to a local child for making friends and he feels better, but doesn’t speak English!
