There was a time when I was somewhat obsessed
or perhaps in love with the shape of the tipi. I would think about them and dream about
them although I had never really seen one except for Hollywood representations in film.
I carried these tipi visions for almost
seven years until I finally decided to do something about it. But, living
in Sydney, Australia, you can’t exactly look up ‘tipis’ in the phone book.
Well, as luck would have it, or perhaps
when I was ready to receive, the universe provided and one synchronous
event led to another and I found myself in southern Victoria smoking the
peace pipe with a special group of people who had gathered to celebrate
the Autumn equinox.
By that time I didn’t just want a tipi for
myself, I wanted to be able to give others like me the opportunity to experience
the tipi for themselves. It’s wonderfully reassuring when people say they
had been thinking about a tipi for a while, then through a strange set of ‘coincidences’
they found me.
Now my love for the tipi has matured into
a deeper understanding and respect for the people who once lived in them
and for the wisdom they have shared. On this site I have included some
beautiful words of wisdom from some truly remarkable human beings. Please
pay them a visit.
