The Core Team of Walkers and Runners have accomplished more than any of us believed to be possible. In only 3 days they have walked and ran more than 200 miles. Much of the running was in record setting high tempatures... thru the desert between 29 Palms and Blythe California. In our Talking Circle in the evening we are reminded of the victims of domestic violence and with each step the walkers make a stronger committment to the healing of the four directions - Red Yellow Black and White. They drink plenty of water to nourish their bodies.... and they soak in the beauty of mother earth as they walk. After a day in the hot sun the walkers camped on the banks of the Colorado River under a huge shade tree. The simple blessing of shade and water that we often take for granted in our daily living... was seen with new hearts and in a new way by many of the Walkers. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make our way across Turtle Island. Any support that you can give to us will help us to spread the message of the Four Gifts of the Sacred Hoop. Not everyone can walk... and we know this... but those of you who have sent us contributions and those who cook for us when we are in your area and use your vehicles to help us with transportation of equipment and people are invaluable to the success of this Vision. Thank you.
