Title: K'spisx - Thunder K'spisx - The thunder is the grandfather spirit for the Nasa people. I've been living, working, sharing and loving life with my second family for many years now. A second family proud of their Nasa ancestors but who have built a life in the lands of the Ampiu people. The nights there are full of the sounds of nature, the heat of the fireplace, the voice of the elders, and the memory of the ghosts who take care of the land and their inhabitants. Nature always reminds me of how small I'm in the big scheme of things and also reminds me of how valuable and big, each experience is at the same time. It is a constant call for humility and to be respectful.
