When you live in constant communication
with Creator, you cannot be lonely.

As seekers of the spiritual aspects of life, it is only natural that one would turn to books and people for spiritual guidance. This is fine. However... beware. Spirituality cannot be bought. Those who have it, do not sell it. Those who do not have it, sell as much as the market will bear. Coyote is always around to remind us of that fact.

"All of this Creation is Sacred...And so do not forget. Every Dawn as it comes
 is a holy event and
every day is holy, for the light comes from Wakan-Tanka...
you must remember that the Two-legged and All other peoples who stand upon this
Earth are Sacred and should be treated as such..."
(White Buffalo Woman)

"Please don't lie to me,
unless you're absolutely sure I'll never find out the truth."

"When the Earth is sick, the animals will begin to disappear, when that happens,
The Warriors of the Rainbow will come to save them."......Chief Seattle

"...What a man knows is what has been done. What the Spirits know is what has been done and what will be done in the future. The Spirits can tell what is to be in the future.
They can tell this to anyone..."

We once knew the spirit of the plants.
We knew every tree and rock.
We had time.


"When the Earth is sick, the animals will begin to disappear, when that happens,
The Warriors of the Rainbow will come to save them."......Chief Seattle


"...The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has been before. Creativity in living is not without its attendant difficulties, for peculiarity breeds contempt. And the unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time is that when people finally realize you were right, they'll say it was obvious all along. You have two choices in life: you can dissolve into the mainstream, or you can be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different, you must strive to be what no one else but you can be..." (Alan Ashley-Pitt)

Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."
(James Thurber)

To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.

"...madness takes it's toll...please have exact change..."

"You must speak straight so that your words may go as sunlight into our hearts.
Speak Americans.. I will not lie to you... do not lie to me."
(Hardwood)


It is not blood that makes an Native American...
It is the soul....
Too many... with fire of Native blood... walk ignored.
Do not say I am Apache or Kickapoo..
Do not say I am Sioux or Cherokee.
Say.... I am of the Mother Tribe...
This is the pain of our children...
To return from the stars without a home or community...
A tribe lost returns... scattered in the wind.
Those who hear must unite and reap the seed of this return.
ONE tribe...ONE Earth...ONE Heart...ONE People.
Those with ears must build a fire and give thanks this night.
Be united with ONE soul.
Oh, my Children come home...
Teachers step forward without fear...
You are real.

"[The Circle] will not be mended as long as the People war among themselves.
 It will not be mended as long as we try to mend the Sacred Circle with broken Circles. We all need to pray on this..." (Gary Armstrong)

Friends, hear this.
Always be generous in heart.
If you have something to give, give it forever.


When humans participate in ceremony, they enter a sacred space.
Everything outside of that space shrivels in importance.
Time takes on a different dimension.
Emotions flow more freely.
The bodies of participants become filled with the energy of life, and this energy reaches out and blesses the creation around them. All is made new; everything becomes sacred."
(Sun Bear)


THERE IS NO GLIMPSE OF THE LIGHT
without walking the path.
You can't get it from anyone else, nor can you give it to anyone.
Just take whatever steps seem easiest for you, and as you take
a few steps it will be easier for you to take a few more."
--PEACE--


The only calendar I need is just outside my window.
With eyes to see and ears to hear,
nature keeps me posted.

I will leave all of you with one last quote:

"Listen with your heart,
Learn from your experiences,
and always be open to new ones.
Always remember that a smile is something sacred,
to be shared...
"we shall be known by the tracks we leave behind"

THANKS FOR VISITING... PLEASE COME AGAIN!
