Some people are guided by
rocks. Okay, more like crystals. My oldest sister—at least for a time—was one
of those people. I don’t wish to imply
she was a crazy person having deep conversations with rocks. She was just regular crazy like the rest of
my family. But she saw need to have specific
crystals located in specific places in her house.
I like rocks, so I was
cool with that.
Other people have animal
guides. Native Americans, for example, celebrated
this concept. I have a friend from the Blackfeet
Nation who is guided by the grizzly bear.
For a time, she lived without fear at the edge of Badger-Two
Medicine. Bear country, for sure.
The splendid landscapes
of Badger-Two Medicine were featured in the Robin Williams movie What
Dreams May Come.
I am without a
guide. On one side: rocks. On the other side: animals. Basically, it’s just me and a bunch of bugs
in the middle.
