pic: Harvest Moon outside my Temple H(om)e Office…a story i used to tell to my pet wolf as we lay beside Junction Creek beneath a canopy of scintillating stars beneath the Sacred Peak of Dibé Nitsaa….it goes something like this:

many many moons ago, in the high peaks of the Mountain Utes, there lived two mountains, indescribably beautiful. one was yang…he rested in full sunshine most of the year and all eyes of all animals were transported to his sharp yet gracefully intimidating summit spire. the other mountain was yin…she seemed to shy away from Grandfather Sky’s warm reach preferring to remain in moist shade. they fell in love and through their lovemaking which all other beings, including the Mountain Utes, felt as a series of earthquakes. a magnificent child mountain was soon born, whom they called, Aditisan (Navajo for Listener)
