      As a liver cancer survivor, I write a lot about this in my book “This is how it feels to heal, A Shamanic journey through cancer, life challenges, and recovery.” It is in final editing now having just finished it here in Colombia where I have been since not long after the pandemic began.

      Thank you for this video.

      Not directly, but by being with them and engaging the world in the ways that I do, my children have all developed their own understanding of life that is a clear manifestation of this interaction. The first half of my childhood was on a rural farm in Southern Illinois and the second half in downtown Chicago. My four children, ages 10-34, have been to both and we live in a large university town which itself is a combination of all kinds of people from all over the world.

      Since our default family view already is of a global, if not universal, approach, and their having visited so many of those places, combined with their own highly diverse Montessori first then public school “education”, has pulled each of them down a path of a full understand of all that I, and those they meet because of what I do, focus our attention and lifes work about.

      None of them have been baptized, and that would be the only thing I “did” as far as spirituality, but, our home is a sanctuary, and our live is a constant prayer, and they, like us, engage in life to the top. Should any one of those want to speak to a Mormon Missionary, or a local priest, rabbi, or ask to visit a Mosque. I would welcome that 100% as their life, their path, their choice. But, if that day ever comes, they will all walk in the forest and feel the ages of the ancestors walking along right beside them.

      I do not remember when, but I learned a song from one of Sandra’s teachers and later heard another one sing it often sing shortly after sitting up. Morning Sun, Morning Sun is its name. There is a pretty poor quality version of it on YouTube with very loud drums, but, you can hear the tune if you are not familiar with the song, etc.

      Beyond that, it just depends on the day. If there is nothing in the morning or not until late morning anyway, then perhaps sit outside for a while. Who knows. Either way, how can I walk through nature and not feel as if I am only flowing through myself. There is really no boundary there, after all, we are all one, right?

      Morning Sun, Morning Sun,
      Come my way, Come my way

      Morning Sun, Morning Sun,
      Come my way, Come my way

      Morning Sun, Morning Sun,
      Come my way, Come my way

      Come my way, Come my way,
      Take my pain, Take my pain.

      Come my way, Come my way,
      Take my pain, Take my pain.

      Come my way, Come my way,
      Take my pain, Take my pain.
