#ThrowbackThursday: The Path of Prayers and Smoke

It's #TBT at The NDN Silver Blog, with a work from just over two years ago that was part of a multi-piece special commission by a friend. This piece was a work that suits the spirit of this day, one of candles lit and cedar burned and whispered words offered upon the wind, of braving the bitter cold to follow the path of prayers and smoke. 

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. This work obviously will never be duplicated exactly, but if the style speaks to your spirit, simply inquire via the site's Contact form; Wings can create a version uniquely your own. We were able to cover November's monthly expenses and some additional costs, like more hay for the horses and and one load of firewood for the cold weather already here. [We have had to delay the plumbing fixes yet again, because this local pandemic spike is just too dangerous to have outsiders in at close quarters now.] But there's still the process of figuring out this water/well-drilling problem, we will need more firewood to make it through the winter, and calendar notwithstanding, winter is here. We need to make it out of this year alive and help others do the same. And since neither the drought nor the pandemic is going anywhere, we are still going to need consistent sales to make it through the whole winter (which, if the political and pandemic situations go sideways again — or, rather, still, will be bitter indeed for our communities), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
