Miracles and Lost Memories
Kamalla Rose Kaur

I phoned David yesterday.

"I want you to meet this woman I am taking care of through my caregiving job." I explained. "She is not dying like my other clients. She is very alive and healing by leaps and bounds. She got hit by a train while driving her car. They didn't think she would live. Then they didn't think that she would ever come out of the coma.

As Far Away From Society As We Can Get
by Kamalla Rose Kaur

My great-grandmother, Doc, was one of the first women doctors in the USA. I imagine she couldn't get a job anywhere else, so that is why she ended up moving to the Puget Sound (about as far away from society as she could get) to work at Western State Mental Hospital back before the turn of the last century.

The Sixties

KRK: My mother and father were very, very dedicated to the civil-rights movement. My family grieved deeply when Martin Luther King was assassinated. As bad as the John Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy assassinations were, the death of Martin Lut... read more

A Living, Breathing, Pacific Northwestern Native
By Kamalla Rose Kaur

Seen from a distance, earth's flora and fauna are one organism. Our exhale is the cedar tree's inhale and the cedar tree's exhale is our inhale.

Sitting down in a cedar circle deep in local woods; a circle I have sat with many times down through my life, do I merely imagine that I lift those tree's spirits as much as they lift mine? I wonder if the smell of our breath and that of all creatures, is pungent aromathe... read more
