It was a cloudless summer Saturday as I found my way along the banks of the Arkansas river. No real destination in mind, just a few hours to kill before my flight home from a long week of work.<\/p>\n

I stumble upon the Keeper of the Plain<\/i>s, a statue built by Native American artist Blackbear Bosin and donated to the city of Wichita in 1974.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

You can feel the Great Spirit whirling around in the reeds along the river, in the feathers of the hungry ducks, in the ridges on the rocks.<\/p>\n

The circle of life : Water.Fire.Air.Earth.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Who knew that Wichita had this to offer? I was pleasantly surprised.
