“We had no churches, no religious organizations, no Sabbath day, no holidays, and yet we worshiped. Sometimes the whole tribe would assemble to sing or pray; sometimes in a small number, perhaps only two or three. Sometimes we prayed in silence, sometimes each one prayed aloud.”
Geronimo, Apache war chief

A true spiritual connection to the world around them.
Good work Monte. I like the sense of open space in these last two photos.

Connection to the world around us seems distant in spite of technically being connected with our phones and computers. Nature does not have those devices but must be experienced. Thanks, Paul!

The original Americans…so much to offer…so many opportunities wasted.

I marvel that some people can come face to face with scenes such as this yet remain unmoved. Thank you for sharing the lovely prayer.

And sometimes when I stand there and look out at these scenes I wonder what it looked like before we took a plow to it.
