Germination
Gerald Dawavendewa (Hopi & Cherokee)
An insect spirit sits with a prayer stick as rain clouds gather with lightning crossing the sky. Dragonflies and butterflies flutter about to announce the coming rain. Lightning is a representation of fertilizing plant life as dragonflies and butterflies symbolize moisture. Together, they bring life to desert land.
