Miriam Moore reads TheWalkingPeople:ANativeAmericanOralHistory, by Paula Underwood.

The best way of learning is for the Person themself to decide the path of their interest.  The best practice of teacher is to listen. Every learner, regardless the path will turn back to the People, and add to our knowledge of the world.

we all cross the rope bridge, letting the rope bridge fall at the foot of the cliff, marking the final resting place of ancient vision, our wisdom, our mother

We assert the final resting place of Ancient Wisdom as Daughter of Wisdom stepped to the edge, and Great Ceremony.  In silent memory, all turn and begin walking a rope bridge through air from one side to the other.  

a spanning bridge, a seeming whisp of a rope is strengthened and tightened, examined and yet there lies our path.  I remember I was carried across walking air across ocean, yet here I will walk.

Two Strong men supported by He Who Stood Forward begin their slow, painful descend, carrying carefully a rope woven strong and heavy, The Three Who Walked from one deep dark place to the other began after He Who Stood Forward.  How is the great river crossed?

Another refinement for the People's learning way, as they find the long adventurous learning path of two young historians with two very different ways of storing information.  How does the historian with youth and strong bodies bring the facts into Wisdom for themselves and to their communities?

let us weave our paths into the future

we learn the meaning of enough, yet we like to devise new patterns for a new land

we finish our crossing of  walk by waters across the sky walk bridge built by 3 strong men, and appreciate it is with only 37 persons that we crossed to this Great Island that Lay Beyond.
