Today was a national holiday. In the morning and evening we worked on yard-work. Due to the Monsoon rain, our front and back yards had a whole bunch of tall grasses. My daughter and I pulled grasses by hands. My husband used a Weed Eater.
After we spend several hours, two hours in the morning and three hours in the evening, our front and back yards now look very nice.

In the afternoon, we watched the movie Woman Walks Ahead (2018). It is a Native American movie. It is based on the true story of a female painter who traveled from New York to Dakota to paint a portrait of Sitting Bull. I loved this movie.
Nowadays I don’t shed tears while watching movies with my family. There is one exception. When it comes to a movie where Lakota people are in, I shed tears without my knowing.
While watching this movie, I did my best not to cry. But my effort ended up in vain.
I felt tears rolling down on my cheeks at the scene of Shitting Bull’s speech in front of his people. Even though I know it is in a movie, not happening to me right now at this moment, it is hard for me to observe it as a third party.
I believe I was there with my people. We did everything right. We spoke up the right thing. We treated our new visitors in the right way. In return we received everything wrong from them.
I consider my past life memories as blessings. With these memories, I have a clear vision on what I want to do to the world. I want to contribute on making the world to a better place, so that nobody needs to suffer anything anymore.
