We had a death in the family last year and my little ones experienced the height of decay and the continuous song of death that goes along with a funeral in the Indian culture. One on my sons said that the flame is not to be afraid of, he said that it is just a partner for the soul to dance with.

For Hiduism, I have read several trans of the Vedas, Upanishads, and Gita. My understanding of Kali comes from my other readings in Hinduism, as well as a conversation I once had with Kali devotee. My understanding of the Ghost Dance goes back to Black Elk Speaks, as well as numerous works I readAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784125345525784337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962841480087192036.post-26793500166216200392012-07-28T14:45:03.464-04:002012-07-28T14:45:03.464-04:00TY Myrna for your kind thoughts and words.
