When I arrived at Pamela’s home, there was a large painting sitting in the bedroom I was to stay in. I was immediately drawn to the wisdom I saw in the face of the native woman in the painting. This original oil painting depicted an old native woman spinning threads with shining dots of light embedded in and around the threads. I had an inner knowing that each dot of light was a person or experience. Pamela explained that the old woman was the “webweaver” of the tribe because she weaved and connected people and experiences together. She was an important and honored master in the tribe. Pamela insisted that I take the painting.
