That’s cool😊

Kwe Kwe dear Gary I sense your mention of your friend Gert at peace. If that is a loss my heart sends prayers for her Spirit. You ate indeed blessed for access to Sacred Land for smudging. Working at the Friendship Centre we have to smudge outside due to fire alarms in our large building so we are often outside in the winds to smudge n same in my building at home. But praying with a feather or those Medicines when I can are such blessings. Working with younger community members is so gratifying also n keeps me humble n engaged. Walking this Sacred Journey there is no room for substances n I feel so grateful to be able to honour both my father n my maternal grandfather who died at 47 n 49 from the effects of alcohol, both very kind n heroic, but crippled by the drink. I really do stand in awe at the Gifts of this Program n altho the Silver Years have their challenges, they are far outweighed by the Blessings! Enjoy this day of Freedom my Brother! Aho!

Thank you my sister . Gert is actually a man lol . I thought the same thing as you when I first heard his name . It’s short for Gerhart . A very good man he was . A dear friend of my father and like a second dad to be honest . He taught me everything I know about being a highly skilled flooring guy . We didn’t do housing. We did very large commercial projects and I still do too this day . I’m not much on tools anymore I have a bunch of skilled installers that work for me . Take care my sister . Always a pleasure when you drop me a note . Hiy Hiy 🪶:eagle::eagle::pray::pray:
