Yara ~ means Lady of the Water.
 
Yara, the shaman with a heart as vast as the open plains, stood beneath the ancient oak tree, her sanctuary of wisdom. Nearby, a desert tortoise slowly made its way to the edge of a shimmering stream, a rare sight in the arid landscape. Yara’s eyes, deep and knowing, reflected the mysteries of the universe as she watched the tortoise drink. The gentle flow of the water and the presence of the tortoise, a symbol of resilience and longevity, filled her with a profound sense of peace. Yara’s guidance, like the life-giving water, nourished her people, helping them navigate the challenges of life with grace and strength.
