Southern Skies

This is the window of my previous bedroom. It faces South. The chariot of the Moon raced through the night sky while I slept beneath this shaded palace. The cool air would kick up from the swiftness but I would sleep peacefully in this southern direction.

In Native American spirituality, South is the place of the child, where life begins. The animal in the South protects the child within and reminds us to be humble and when to trust so that innocence will be balanced in our personality (David Carson)
