Hey-Yah dear ones, it is good to be here in this place of honorable intent.
I am called DD or 1stLight, my full names given through my life is long and mostly unpronounceable for most, and as for most who come 'born old' it includes more than names and is therefore not appropriate to be 'spoken' other than in person. I am of a small group from West Texas area called "Kee-Apa", this is of course spelled phonetically as there is no written language, so feel free to spell it however you want to! LOL
An old scotsman came out there way before the history books would note and we just married him in (he had some really good horses with him!) He was very careful about land titles and taught us to guard this strange western concept and so the places dear to us are still held guarded and private, we now call it a ranch! LOL! I am the product of this, part red, part white and walk in both worlds. I was trained as a medicine woman from birth and walk the Old Ways, at the same time I am a highly educated, successful professional in this modern culture. I do not find these things to be in conflict. To learn to walk in both worlds well , ie: to walk in the reality of the creation is necessary to honor the creation and all it's wondrous and diverse differences which make it so rich and full in all times of it's being.
I live in Honduras and in Texas. I have a deep and abiding JOY in Walking the World, what a gift we are given by accepting that work, to walk and see and hear and taste and touch and love and strive and all things human. This work of being human is a good thing, but then too is the work of coming to be finch or ragweed! LOL The path of my people is the path of Ma-a-aya, the Path of all Equalness, ie: Equal Same, Equal All. All is sacred, even those things and places that I do not personally like or understand etc.!
I look forward to getting to know you all here, thank you for allowing me to become a part of your lives as you become part of mine.
Walk Well my friends,
ENJOY!!
DD
