Mayan Elder Tata Pedro Cruz
Return of the The People of Maize, 2012
Fall Equinox Tour
Chicago, September 20-22
 
Greetings!
As I watched Tata Pedro Cruz walking in nature up at Spirit Lake, WI, the other day, I sensed his relationship with Her, as tender as a mother with a child.
In no time, we veered off the path and began to climb around the maroon quartzite rocks, him stopping to pat them and give them kisses. He found a little alcove and ensconsed himself, eyes closed, feeling Her warmth.
Amazingly light on his feet, he used his walking stick to unearth little critters living beneath the stones.
He is so in-tune, smiling, whistling, and winking at those hawks and eagles circling above.

I can't wait for you to meet him. He is a well-known, highly regarded Tzutujil Maya elder (the same clan made famous by Martin Prechtel).

He and Shuni Giron are married now. Wait until you hear that magical story!

Hasta pronto!
