>> Great time enjoying Native American art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and interacting with artists.
It is amazing and remarkable to see how some people are still so respectful and thankful to nature and Earth and transmit it through their art. With all the monstrosities we've witnessed recently, through the news and shocking videos, what a beautiful example and lesson to remind us that the Earth doesn't belong to man but man belongs to the Earth.
Here is a picture of Dona, important potter from a Pueblo close to Santa Fe. She's been working indian pottery since the 70's as well as her mother and grandmother and we had the chance to observe her working.
"I would never get my clay without asking first permission to Mother Nature."

>> Excellente journée à la découverte de l'art amérindien et à la rencontre d'artistes à Santa Fe, au Nouveau Mexique.
C'est incroyable et remarquable de voir que certaines populations sont toujours aussi respectueuses et reconnaissantes envers la nature, la Terre et transmettent cela à travers leur art.
Après les monstruosités dont nous avons été témoins récemment , à travers l'actualité et vidéos choquantes, quelle belle leçon qui nous rappelle que la Terre n'appartient pas à l'homme mais l'homme appartient à la Terre.
Voici une photo de Dona, potière originaire d'un village près de Santa Fe. Elle travaille la poterie indienne depuis les années 70, suivant le chemin de sa mère et grand-mère. Nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir l'observer travailler aujourd'hui.
"Je ne récolte jamais mon argile sans demander d'abord la permission à Mère Nature."
