we attended our first official pow wow. i don't think it will be our last. the girls and our boys both enjoyed it. i loved it.
it moved me for many reasons~ too many to articulate here. i think one theme stood out for me~ while we share this beautiful grand globe with so many diverse people, cultures and histories, ethnicities and traditions~ we really have so many ways we are all very much alike. so much that is similar and perfectly the same.
aren't we all just everyday people drawn together by love and family and a desire to belong to community and be apart of something bigger than ourselves? it seems almost universal, doesn't it?
when we were finished little miss E. danced her way back to the van in the cutest possible way. Hudson joined her. from the northern regions of Ontario to the beautiful land of Haiti~ and for all the vast differences in between~ so much is exactly the same which is truly important to remember and celebrate!!
