Choctaw

Outfitter, descriptor, storyweaver,
and journal keeper.

For and about women, reincarnated
from a man's angry fist.

Soothsayer, foreteller of future
women's issues.

The San Luis Valley,
the tranquil locus for
the
rendezvous.
Bring women in touch
with themselves,
introduce them to a
compassionate, new
environment.

Leave society behind.
Begin vision quest at
a healthy elevation
of 9000 feet.

"There is no friend
like a sister in
calm or stormy
weather."

In an element of
spiritual care,
voluntarily weaved
into the company of
tattered, battered
common threads.

Silence is broken.
Look, I'm pointing
up to a bird
in the sky.

"It is up to the pinion jay
where it will fly next,
but there is no reason not
to observe its
flight."
