The fire that lies within me is the fire that my ancestors gifted me. It was the fire they held, the fire they used in ceremony and in prayers.
My strength is their strength and their strength is the strength of our communities.
Walk with your medicine and offer it fully from a deep place of reverence for it is the resilience that is needed.
I hear them singing from my bones, I feel them moving through my feet.
Visions of my grandmother placing a Copilli on my head full of feathers to remind me the connection to creator, to source. That there is no separation between the worlds unless we create one.
My time in Arizona was transformative, the North Direction is my home. It was no coincidence that this where my journey as a student begins. In the words of my Maestra “We have to be uncomfortable sometimes.”. Here in the Smoking Mirror is where I found myself, who I’ve always been, who I accepted to be in this lifetime. Although I didn’t grab many pictures I left with memories that were programmed into my heart for all of eternity. Bringing my medicina from Tejas, from Danza and bringing it to AZ helped me be the fire keeper. Helped me open up and walk with commitment to this work. To this life, to a promise I agreed to before I came to life. Tlazocamati to KTO familia for welcoming me in, for witnessing me, for allowing me to witness each and everyone of you, for opening your hearts, your homes, allowing me to feed you with family recipes, to sing at our altars, to share sacred space with you. Ometetol. ⚡️⚫️🌹
