Name your inner spirit!

Are you true of heart?

I read this yesterday. An article that talks about native American naming tradition. I did not know that they do this still today.

Interesting that the names change with age. Very interesting. I love it. I’m going with it. Their naming convention I mean.

I suggest that we all do this, name our inner spirit. To connect with nature more.

Step 1. Pick an adjective to describe the phase of mood you’ve been in for the last year.
Step 2. Pick another adjective, to describe your appearance.
Step 3. Pick an appropriate noun; an animal, geographical feature or weather event similar to your overall personality.
Step 4. Combine!

I was first born “silent purple dragonfly” … of Kogarah province.
Then after a long time I became known as “fat tiger prawn” … de la matanza.
Now I am “nosiy red crab” … of Bundeena¹.

The next time someone asks me who I am, that is how I am going to respond.
