A well loved old Tzutujil Mayan story of the culture hero: the “littlest, crooked cob on the stalk,” who, when his love of play and small things matures into a life-giving rain, curing the Earth, causes the Mayan world to live healthily on, despite the continued presence of the heartless colonial mindset under which we all endeavor to survive.

So many good people today no longer remember what an intact life feels or looks like. Most of our villages, tribes and ways of livings have been so thoroughly pounded into the ground of our private personal Amnesia that groans under the boot heels of modernity's heavy tread. But be that as it may, I say our Indigenous Souls still live hiding like stealthy foxes, in the recesses of the infinite wilderness of some forgotten expanse of our real hearts. Somewhere inside a real natural soul still thrives.

These soul-foxes are strong and made of a beauty and Indigenous intactness not recognized by the modern mind we've been taught to think with. If each of our wild fox-souls individually tip-toes smiling past the mental sentries that guard the palace walls where our depressions, lethargic cynicism and self righteous opinions hold our Holy Indigenous Seeds as prisoners, then maybe together after watering our seeds with the tears and grief of the remembrance of the joy of a real life, and with a brave love we can each sprout these seeds into the towering stalk of the Divine Mother again. If we all do it together then everywhere a grand Indigenous Diversity of Flowering Hearts could poke up everywhere sprouting a conscious village of hope to plant a time of hope beyond our own.

Grandiose and impossible you say? Well, that's your palace guards talking!! Anyway it's better to live and die intactly making good small beauty, and failing magnificently, than to succeed at the low pay of mediocrity and the high pay of a meaningless existence.

Come with me, Martín Prechtel, for a ritual gathering to make the world jump up like sprouts of a tree whose fruit of hope might feed a time worth living in beyond our own.

Long Life, Honey in the Heart, No Evil, Thirteen Thank-yous,
