at the footsteps of her journey
into rug’s world and
life’s magic
offering prayer
shouting “Stoodis”
she
pulls
tugs
straightens
pushes
pulls
combs
tightens
weaving
beauty
healing
love
into existence
and so it is.
and so it was.
and so it shall be.
A piece inspired by Connor Chee's "Weaving" video starring weaver Ramona Keoni. Mr. Chee is a classical pianist who has Indigenized this form of music. He will take traditional Dine' songs and make them into classical pieces.
I invite you to watch the video today and write your own piece, with words/song/prayer/etc. By the way "Stoodis" is Native slang for "Let's do this."
What a great start to the day! Connor is awesome and Ramona is quick! I've already passed this along to my family. It brings a smile to my face! Blessings...JR.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful video, and poem to go along with it. Do the rug weavers really move that quickly, just like the pianist?
