“Why are we here? What is this life about?” a man and a woman asked Changing Woman. “We don’t understand.”

Changing Woman appeared as a young girl when they asked that question. The only sign of her age was a golden tooth in her mouth as she smiled and beckoned to them. “Come she said, walk with me on the trail of beauty.”

And in the time between the asking and the asking again, the people walked with Changing Woman on the trail of beauty. And as they walked they turned their heads from side to side and they saw….and heard… and smelled…and tasted…and felt ten thousand wonders of creation.
