From my favorite Tibetan Mala Beads given to me from a yoga teacher I adore to my voodoo doll (my grandfather was from Louisiana), I have run the gamut of spiritual systems. The expression of spirituality requires a personal relationship with your inner self, it demands the observations of your inner world and how it reflects (or does not) your outer one. The elekes are beads from the Yoruba religion called Ifa. Anasazi or as they preferred to be called Ancestral Puebloans from the Four Corners in SW United States and Kokopelli represent a strong spiritual connections for me, as does the Dogon tribe of SW Mal. Apparently, I have enjoyed cliff dwelling, the stars (Dogon tribe knew about Sirius B before modern astronomers), and sensing I was from somewhere other than Earth. The Happy "Vagabond" Buddha probably will not fit in the box, and this fits well. This Buddha encapsulates how I feel about my life and spirituality, it cannot be easily categorized or "boxed in". In the Navajo language, Anasazi means "ancient stranger" or "ancient enemy". As I continue to live on Earth, I feel as if I have wondered through many different representations of spirituality. Joy and the grace of heartfelt connection comprise my view of the Tao, the way.
