At Katuah's Thanksgiving council last year, a bunch of us trekked down to a
huge waterfall on the property. It was gorgeous! There was a large pool at
the bottom that was surrounded by huge boulders. At first, we were all just
staring up at it, some of us singing. Then, someone started Ohming, and we
all joined in. About 5 minutes into it, gigantic rainbows began appearing all
over the place, and then the rainbows started forming rainbows. They were
just arcing all over, weaving in and out of each other. It was probably the
single most beautiful thing I have ever seen... Other than Katuah, my
homeland, herself. Well, except for the time that the doe kissed me in CO.
But, that's another story. Heeheehee!
Love and Big Ol' Bear Hugs,
