Visit


At the end of the day, when the sun had set and the young were tucked into bed, the elders gathered at the meeting place to recharge and prepare for the days ahead.  Exhausted they sat soaking up the silence, searching for the energy to make their way to their chamber of rest.

At the beginning of the day the grandchildren had arrived full of vigor and excitement for the weekend.  Away from home and parents for a few days, catered to by grandparents who see them once a month, they were finally asleep, content and safe, in their beds.
