I decided to go to the local Pow-Wow at the Beaver Lake Reserve for the first time to see what it was all about. I sat down and the

Chief came up to me, laid his hands on my hand and said:

 

"By the will of the Elders and the Great Creator, you will walk today."

 

I told him I wasn't paralyzed, but I did have a small bunion on my left foot.

 

He came back and laid his hands on me again and, looking skywards he earnestly repeated his mantra:

 

"By the will of the Elders and the Great Creator, you will walk today."

 

Once again, I told him there really was nothing wrong with me.

 

After prayers I stepped outside.

And sure as hell, my truck was gone !!!
