I really enjoyed selecting the sticks for the inner tepee and then cutting bigger branches for the outer tepee. The whole time arranging the wood I thought about mother Earth and how important he is to all of us and how we take her for granted.
As we all shared the fire and we all gave thanks to Mother Earth and returned the love with our hearts and souls. I was very touched and very sad to think that we hurt her so much and use her and abuse her and we dump on her like an old rag. I will never look or be the same after the ceremony.
