BIRDS OF A BROWN FEATHER - neckerchief rectangle

From the beginning of time, we have been awestruck by birds for their flight and their feathers.  Not least of these are the wondrously colored birds living in the coastal lowlands, mountains, and tropical forests home to the once sprawling Aztec and Mayan societies. Imagine, the magical iridescence of these vibrantly colored avian wonders up close! It’s easy to understand why they were believed to be our earthly connection to the divine.

In the ancient story that tells us we were divinely created from earth itself, we are assured of our divine creation as evidenced by the color of our beautiful brown skin given to us by our mother, Earth. Reflected in the spectrum of brown shades seen in the plumas of this design is the belief that like those resplendent birds we too possess an air of the divine.
