Remaining silent about the destruction of nature is an endorsement of that destruction.

I'm back from my holiday travels.  I look a little extra time off from blogging, mostly due to Mindsay being broken, but that allowed me some much needed time to relax and collect my thought(s). 

The begining of the new year has always been a time of introspection for me.  I like to take the chance to look back on the years past and reflect on just where it is that I stand in the world.  This new year's I had the chance to do just that, while down in Mirando City at a NAC ceremony.  I gave up my spot in the  tipi, because there were a great number of people who showed up.I withdrew to allow more people who had traveled farther than I to take part in the ceremony.  While sitting outside of the tipi listening to the songs of prayer, I was in a great place to think about the year which had just passed and the opportunities of the coming year.

I feel quite blessed for all that I have in my life.  For the most part I am fullfilled in every way.  I don't think that I could really ask for much more and I wish the same for all of you.  Here's a picture of the sunrise on my New Year's Day.
