When was the last time you visited the place you grew up?

Posted on Aug 2nd, 2007 by Katherine : Katherine Katherine
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 02, 2007:

The last memory I have of my childhood home was from the summer of 1960. The house was rented out and the fields were empty. Somehow I knew that was the last time I would see that place. A few years later the house burned and this year a tornado leveled what buildings were left. I left home when I was sixteen and I have only visited relatives a few times since. I do not feel any sense of loss. The world has been my home and I have been fortunate to have traveled and worked in many places. I feel I own the world and world owns me. My extended family reaches around the globe. I am blessed.

What's your greatest dream?

My greatest dream is to be able to live pain free. Pain has been compainion since I had chemo in the 1970's. My job injury in Dec 06 has added to that condierably. I use as many forms of alternative medicine and therapy as possible. Like most folks, I have limited time and money to try them all. Meditation is wonderful. Yoga is a great help too. The Feldenkrais Movement Awareness is also very helpful. My dream is very simple and yet very complex. Most importantly are all the lessons I learn while finding the answer to this riddle.

Whose life would you like to be living?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 08, 2007:

MY OWN.  I would not trade my life for anyone else's. I believe all the challenges that come to us are for our growth. How sad I would be to reach the end of my journey only find I spent my precious time living someone else's life. I have had a great life, with many experiences and so much adventure. I would not trade it anything. I may not be rolling in Bill Gate's money or have my name on the cover of Billboard but those are not necessarily the most important things in the world. I have gotten enough feedback from others that I know I have touched lives and have made a difference and that is a great life by my standards.

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 09, 2007:

I am grateful for life and everyone, every thing, and every event in it. I may sound trite to some but when I went through chemo in the 1970's.There were several times when I came face to face with death. Now, years later, I am so fortunate to still be alive and cancer free that even in my darkest times I remember I have I have been Graced with life. All of the others who where in my treatment group are gone. I am not sure why I am still here but I am glad (grateful) to be with family and friends.

If you lived a thousand years ago, what job would you have had?

I would live in what is currently Colorado with my tribal group in the Platt
River area. I would have a husband, children, and grandchildren.  I would be known for my knowledge of herbs and ability to work leather. Some would think of me as a medicine woman.
