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." ~ Ashleigh Brilliant ~
"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. ~ Walter

"...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. (Author Unknown)

"[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"
