vollenda They are lovely rocks. They seem like they would be very warm. The first one seems to me to be a person walking, carrying a heavy burden.

photopoet The pueblo people believe that cornmeal should be sprinkled on the animal . It's a meditative ritual . The Zuni's say, "When you offer corn to your fetish, in return you will be blessed." "The use of corn in prayers and ceremonies is an affirmation of the connection between Earth and all life." There is no loss of soul—instead there is a sense of thankfulness and blessing.
