'in' a village named Goddess Moon ...
~~
a home, a valley, a portrait, a song ...
and nurturing echo, reflection, consideration --
persona -- yes this gift of spirit.
from those gentle elders to their beloved children ...
wrinkled hands of the eldest ancestors, shaping a tribe,
a family of 'young'ins' ...
young immortals hatchin' ...
in? in?
in this Chumash Village, 'Awha'y Moon ...

We went to Earth Day in Santa Barbara last weekend and saw Julie Tumamait, Ojai's Chumash Elder, perform on stage with Ojai locals Aaron Plunkett, Lori Asher and Iratia among others. It is important to preserve this small window into the indigenous people that populated this land in the centuries past. Thanks, Millenium!

aho Tyler!
I wish there were ten (sisters) of Julie!
Last year the two of us were brought together by Goddess Moon ... and I have longed for more 'advertising' of her countless educational events for children and all ... to get the information out there to a larger 'Awha'y Moon audience, and for everyone watching in the greater world.
To further the knowing and loving of the Chumash language and sacred artistry and sacred ways -- the deep peace -- that that rainbow chorus might accelerate the refining and gentling occuring now on Earth --
as the GARDEN returns, in the re-mergent hands of the divine feminine ...
salvation of all our relations,
Millennium
