Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.

Love it! So clever!
Wonderful!! I love these flashbacks. Great take on the prompt!!
Masterfully creative! Awesome work Mike! π
Wow, now I have to think harder about what word I'm going to use to rhyme :)
Oh wow, this was fantastic!
I also enjoyed this. The rhyme scheme was on point. And I didn't know about the Frank Zappa having to change the name. All around, it was a great poem.
What a great tribute!!
Nicely done
