Dear Anonymous,
It is dark. Before 6 AM and frosty cold. I am headed to MaineWorks to help start the fire circle. Emerging out of the street shadows I hear him say good morning.
He is polite and quiet. He says, 'I am a friend of Gray Wolf and Richard.' and now he has my full attention. Because I love Gray Wolf and Richard.
He introduces himself. Edmundo, from the Omaha Nation.
An honor to meet you, Edmundo.
Blanket, shirts, socks and coffee cards. Maybe a brownie or two and then he offers me this smile. My day is complete.
