Nama

<p>When we write the story of one person we tell the story of all people who have lived through all times across the entire geography of the universe. We borrow from the history of life and its footprints emerging from the deep past and leading into the ever-receding future. One life is a mirror for all in a very important sense though not in every sense. In Nama an ancient Native American woman recounts the mystery of life weaving the tapestry of life - of birth and death of brave battles to be won dreaming of love and justice of creating a heaven on earth. She sings of grief over loss of love of greed and rivalry that tear us apart pushing us to harm and even to kill. Yet she is also firm in her trust in the affirmation of life. Battles are never lost lives are never given in vain. She preserves her faith in the redeeming power of grace and self-expansion and is willing to wait patiently for future generations to pick up the cross and find the path of emancipation for imprisoned humankind. Should we join her march?</p>
