sitting listening

Years ago I sat with Gilbert Walking Bull for a weekend learning about the sweat lodge. He gave a lesson that was not a lesson. While others talked he listened with his eyes shut. At times while talk when on, he seemed asleep, he wasn't. He was totally tuned in and really listening. It is a lesson I carry with me.

If he was listening to spirit, how did he do it? If anyone's got the answer to that one I would love to hear it.; ▶ Reply to This
