Michelle, I think once you start research and writing on either Native American or African tribal spirituality, you will find something there that will just flow out of you and onto your paper (or computer). I think a lot of people shy away from these spiritual beliefs for the exact reason you mentioned - I could write an article every day and still not make much of a dent in the subject. But, just taking little bits at a time will bring out some things you never thought about.
I would love to read your thoughts on the spirituality of children.
When my son was three years old, he suffered horribly from asthma. Often I had to sit all night and hold him in an upright position just so he could breathe and many times rushed him to hospital to have him put in an oxygen tent and sit beside him there. One night, when I was holding him and began dozing off, he opened his eyes and said, "Mommie, if I die, please don't put me in the ground where I could not breathe, put me in the sea where I can swim to Heaven." Talk about a spiritual moment! I never prayed so hard in my life for healing and I prayed the rest of the night for God to heal my baby. I consider it a miracle that my son is now a very healthy and active man.
