The Arrowhead I found an arrowhead today, While we were at a spring. Now, how it makes me wonder. This small and perfect thing. What Indian sat long years ago Upon these very sands To shape this shiny, lethal point, With brown and clever hands. It lay so cool upon my palm. It makes me feel a tie With all the bands who hunted here, Or made their camp nearby. I dug a hole and put it in. Nor did I leave a trace. It was a treasure, but I felt I'd trespassed on this place!

BettyLou~ I loved this one .. but you probably knew that !! The reverence with which you honored the site is very touching~ I've walked a portion of The Trail of Tears and found history buried all along the way~ It's a most touching walk of the memories of my people~ My love to MY RONNIE~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

It seems to have surfaced just long enough to inspire these lovely words. Joyce |

Dear Marge: I have kept a few arrowheads from Nevada, and I believe I sent you one. However, that particular arrowhead, for whatever reason, needed to stay right there! It is fascinating to walk those old trails and camp spots and thik about what has happened there! Thanks and Ron sends his love to you! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

trillium, i enjoyed your poem and i believe that there is much that can be learned from the artifacts of past civilizations but "to each their own"...one must do what one must do. |

I liked that! Also the wild purple trilliums that bloom in the river bottoms each spring. KNOWLEDGE IS A DEFENSE AND MONEY IS A DEFENSE, BUT THE EXCELLENCY OF WISDOM IS THAT IT GIVES LIFE TO THEM THAT HAVE IT. |
