"The Center of the Ancient World: Today the massive buildings of the ancestral Pueblo peoples still testify to the organizational and engineering abilities not seen anywhere else in the American Southwest...the canyon was central to thousands of people between 850 and 1250 A.D."

Addendum 11/13/2012: I didn't know until I looked up information on the Web that the Pueblo peoples who built this site in the ancient times were adept astronomers/astrologers*; they would have been aware of today's full solar eclipse. I changed the name of the art piece from "Window to the Past" to "Window Into the Past Made Present".

*When posting this writing, twice I used the word “astrologers” instead of “astronomers” to describe the Ancient Ones. This current edit uses the term “astronomers/astrologers”; as astronomers, the people observed the movement of the sun, earth, moon, and stars, but as astrologers, the people imbued their observations with spiritual meaning and conducted religious ceremonies to mark the various celestial events.

Shamans travel either into the "inner" or "higher" realms of existence; the vocabulary we use is inadequate except to say that the realms are not of this earth plane of existence.

This art piece is an example of what I call "shamanic art", when the energy of Spirit is felt very strongly and a message is given.
