Path of Fate

A thousand year wait, for that second touch,
No need to hurry, race or rush,
A yearning, physical dependency,
Released by the minds, skilful key,
Unlocks the ancient purple gate,
That quietly guards, the path of fate.....

The Vision of Crazy Horse - Lakota Chief


“Upon suffering beyond suffering; the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of seven generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things, and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am that place within me, we shall be as one." - Crazy Horse

Courageous Dreaming

Courageous Dreaming,
No limits or ceiling,
A purple satchel, kept safe my hopes.
Along life's, steep and slippery slopes,
Stomach churning,
Loves deep yearning,
Kept a hearts desire, a  burning....

Within the Storm

I love the stillness, within the storm,
Hold your silent sleeping form,
Wiped the tear streaks from your face,
And journeyed to our sacred place....

Spiral Ascent

Physical worlds, illusional feel,
For the dreams I touch, are real,
A lattice of bodies, writhe,
Layered, groaning, lithe,
Punctuated by soft moans,
Building to higher vibrational tones,
Witnessed by the moons silent crescent,
Lower worlds, spiral ascent,

Louise Hay quote

“Honor the love in your life, not the pain and not the suffering.
You can heal your losses and your heart.
It doesn't have to hurt for the rest of your life.”

Geronimo, Apache Chief,

  
"I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and sheltered by the trees as other Indian babes. I can go everywhere with a good feeling."

Thrones of Rock

Tendrils of mist cling to the hills of humility,
Silent, calm, aware, alive,
A soul awakened from a recurring dream,
Fresh invigorating tonic, drawn from beauty's source,
Wooded palace, thrones of rock, faunas purple hue delights,
Delicate smiles illuminate the path,
Light footed, deliberate, hushed, precise......

Sleeping Tree

Opened adventures door,
Made sunshine,on its golden floor,
Not looking back, pace gathering,
Blissful, purple wanderings,
Healed and stunningly set free,
In the shadow of the sleeping tree......

Native American Wisdom

Honor the sacred.
Honor the Earth, our Mother.
Honor the Elders.
Honor all with whom we share the Earth:-
Four-leggeds, two-leggeds, winged ones,
Swimmers, crawlers, plant and rock people.
Walk in balance and beauty.
