I visited with Eagle Woman yesterday. She had a dilemma and phoned to see if I could assist her. I am handling it. The matter is separate from anything I am writing here.

We visited for almost two hours. She is an inspiration, which is why I have posted this here in this section.

Eagle Woman is 75 years old. Her husband passed away within the past year, and now lives alone. She is an elder with Mayan and Aztec ancestry. She is short and round, has a long grey braid which extends down her back and a round radiant face. I would consider her physical health not-so-good - she walks with a cane and walker, had another mini-stroke within the last couple of weeks and has had numerous other rather serious health occurrances over the years (she is under doctor's care). Too see her smiling, you would not know she has had poor physical health and hardships. Her energy is nothing short of amazing.

She is preparing to move to Wisconsin where she will be living with her daugher and son-in-law. They have a nice room there for her where she can create her NA craftwork.

She is doing almost all the packing by herself. Then loads her van and drives 7 hours to drop off her stuff in the new place. I'll remind you here that she is 75 years old. She is very independent.

I met with her once last year, where she invited me to a local restaurant for a scoop of ice cream. We talked for a long time, shared visions and insight, and enjoyed each other's company. She told me that she almost died - or perhaps did for a few mintues - on the operating table. When it happened she had a dream vision of rising up and seeing remarkable things - nature - and meaning. If it is to be, I would love to sit and record her, so I can write this story..and more. Her wisdom and knowledge of the traditions is beautiful. She teaches children the ways and speaks to groups.

Eagle Woman is living in a house with no heat. It was turned off in October. She told me all this when we visited on the phone last night and before I went to see her. She said she tried to get assistance from many different avenues - Mayor, Senior advocate, gas company - and none were successful. She wasn't nearly as upset as I was - in fact, she was not upset at all - said she had plenty to keep her warm, many warm blankets on her bed and so forth (and yes, I invited her here - she declined). I grabbed a new pair of gloves that I has just got at the store, and was at her house within 3 minutes.

Her house is old and strong, loaded with boxes - some packed, some not. Her small tv has two channels - audio good, staticy pix. She said she doesn't pay it too much mind - just likes to listen to the weather when it comes on. She invited me to sit and I removed a box from a chair and sat.

She was layered well in sweatshirts and warm clothes - wore two gloves, one deep red and the other blue - both with fingertips worn through. She smiled and said she liked them like that so she could do her work better. I gave her the new gloves.

We talked about many things - her health, her family, the move and insight.

She calls me "Little blue-eyes". She knows my eyes are not blue, but smiles and says that that is the name that came to her when we first met years ago. She said she has always 'seen' me with a baby. I told her about Little Blackfoot. She smiled and said a little about an ancient ancestor coming back in this form to be with me. She told me she pictured me making a medicine bag for the little one, irridescent blue beads - and what to put inside. I told her I was indeed preparing to make a bag for the little one - and had just chosen some new blue beads. And. btw, I shared some insight with her about her. She beamed.

Before I left, I again asked her to come by me. She declined and said she was hoping to leave in the morning to drive to Wisconsin and then to Kansas with relatives. I told her to please keep watch of the storm before she makes a decision to drive. She is eager to make a trip to see her grandson who is home from Iraq. He is to receive a Purple Heart and medals and she wants to be there.

Luckily, Eagle Woman did not drive anywhere this morning (pretty big ice and snow storm). I phoned her first thing this morning. She will leave tomorrow instead. I invited her here again, and I am pretty sure she will come later today. I will call her again in a few hours.

The sun is shining, roads clear and I am sure Eagle Woman is on her way to Wisconsin, then Kansas.

I talked with her three or four times yesterday and she was busy getting ready. When she phoned last evening, she said the doctor called with her latest test results and she may need neurosurgery on her back. We shall see what transpires when she gets back around the 10th.

Her son and daughter-in-law were coming by last night. She was happy.

I also brought up recording some inspiration when she gets back. She seemed pleased - as she had brought up the idea of writing some ways and wisdom a couple times - said people have been encouraging her to do. Recording would be easy, then I would transcribe to paper for her to share with others.

One other nifty thing about the timing of this storm. As I said earlier, it was very important for her to be there when her grandson got his medals. Well, the storm clobbered the kansas area I guess too - so his flight was delayed, and the event pushed back a couple of days. I know she was relieved to know that she will not miss this event afterall.

wanted to add..that she also told me she wore the new gloves I gave her and that they were nice and warm. But then she laughed and said she took 'em off and put her other ones on so the new ones wouldnt get dirty while she did her work.
