Story & Experience
I drummed and prayed for the waters of Jigs Creek and Tahuya River to save the creek area from a scheduled clearcut. To protect these waters that the salmon still run in. Here’s the Rad Joy Bird in the precious yellow string on the bridge where I drummed. Then I wove the string into a moon on the Earth Loom near the fire pit on the Sahale Retreat Center so the yellow string can continue to hold these prayers for good stewardship of the Jigs Creek land.
