52. Spiritual Residue: Hiroshima Flame Extinguished at Big mtn., AZ
Final Embers of Hiroshima Peace Flame
Expire in Ceremony at Big Mountain

The fire that was ignited 57 years ago on August 6, 1945 when the Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, was ceremonially extinguished by a multicolored band of pilgrims on May 27, 2002 at Big Mountain on Black Mesa in Arizona, in a high desert range sweet with the smell of sagebrush.

Big Mountain in the heart of the Four Corners is a sacred region in the Southwest, recognized by traditional Hopi, Dineh, and other native peoples, as the spiritual center of our continent (Turtle Island, aka North America).

Although the relationship between the larger Dineh and Hopi nations, and between those nations and the US government and corporations, has been a morass of conflict and confusion, the sacred teachings about the Four Corners handed down from antiquity echo — at some level — in the soul of every person involved.
