I totally agree and we do pray and have ritual everyday!...But on the subject of connection..my partner Sean is a healer/Shaman, he has also had a vision, and as a result, has 2 items to be given as a gift expressly for the elders...Is there any way you could Facebook friend me, so you could help us try to get these gifts to them?...You seem like you'd understand it's importance.
Ps- I know how this could sound to certain people, I don't use the words healer or Shaman lightly, we are for real and completely serious about this...I just don't know who to ask for help in our little mission.
