„Der Rückzug in die (unberührte) äußere Natur gilt noch immer als eine der verlässlichsten Methoden, die Stimme unserer inneren Natur (gegen den ‚Lärm der sozialen Welt‘) vernehmbar zu machen.“ (Hartmut Rosa: Resonanz. Eine Soziologie der Weltbeziehung. Frankfurt/M. 2016: Suhrkamp, Seite 456.) #askingrock #steinvalley #ritesofpassage #visionquest #latergram #nature (hier: Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park) "Asking Rock: located immediately after Stryen Creek bridge on the left. This smooth, almost cave-like rock face is adorned with many pictographs - rock paintings. Rumor has it the native women would come to the rock to give birth, and that the location was the starting location of the traditional 'vision quest' rites - the coming of age training ceremonies. It's unclear where the term 'Asking Rock' comes from, but the modern interpretation is to ask the spirits for safe passage through the Stein Valley." #firstnations
