Sax Luu Nay
"Sax luu nay" is a Gitxsan concept I translate to mean "a sacred nothingness, a sacred silence". I am able to suspend my earth-walk for periods of time and surrender to total surround-nothingness-silence through TM, Transcendental Meditation. Around 1983, after being elected to my inaugural two year term as Chief Councillor of the Gitanmaax Indian Band, I sought to counter the anticipated heavy stress of public office. I learned the TM technique. It became my refuge along the harrowing forty mikes of bad rez-roads over thirteen years. Today, in my winter years, I find myself alone in an empty nest forcing an urgent response to an abruptly changing landscape, only for alone-self-care. My refuge: Luu nay, invoked by TMing. Thank you Creator. nay" is a Gitxsan concept I translate to mean "a nothingness, a silence".
