Hello and Happy Spring! I am excited to see the upcoming release of "Napako" from TAMU Press. It tells the creation story of the Coahuiltecan People from the San Marcos Springs, which have existed for over 11,000 years in Central Texas. If you have never heard the story, it is a beautiful story of the human spirit reaching the upper world, Earth, after being trapped in the underworld, underwater. Maria Rocha is a wonderful story teller.
Thousands of years later, I recognize these springs as a vital lifeline between two worlds, intrinsically connected and essential for survival.
