Native American Traditions

My dear friend Cindy just sent this along in an email. I love it so I am posting it so that you can read it too.

"You may know this already, but in some native traditions, the head is shaved as part of a ritual. It is a symbol of shedding a layer. The ritual is used when someone is releasing or transforming a part of themselves from the past and stepping through a new gateway to the future, a metamorphosis. Even with the uncertainty of the future, you look beautiful and empowered as you step through this gateway."

Thanks Cin-Cin. Isn't this a beautiful thought and image?
