he was sitting with a smudge of desert juniper.
He looked up, welcomed me with his eyes and I smiled and sat down.
3 minutes or so later I got up nodded and left.
Not a word was spoken but we both understood that it was a sacred moment of
coming together sharing company and sharing smoke and fragrance.
A needed time out and relaxing from busy work.
I then went back to doing busy work refreshed and light.
Yep – yep.
Sounds like some indigenous Elders I know/have known.
Just one look & no other cues, instructions, words, teachings are needed to know what is/what to do.
