Family matriarchs putting up a loom. Photo by Venaya Yazzie 2016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED |
Winter blessings are upon us in the high desert southwest. My family is amidst the winter activities of the eastern Dine' people in northwest New Mexico.
I share this image as a means of blessings. I feel so very blessed to be able to be in the presence of such matriarchs as they put of a new weaving loom. The voices and conversations of my aunties and grandmothers is priceless. The language of the Dine' matriarch is medicine for my spirit.
I hope you are well and finding blessings in your own family circle and friends during this magical time of Christmas.
Blessings.
