Do not lead me, For I may not always follow.
Do not follow me, For I may not always lead.
Lets walk our paths together,
As brothers, friends forever as one.
ah tey wa chee un kink tay "
...and, again I will see You"
My grandfather is the fire My grandmother is the wind The Earth is my mother The Great Spirit is my father The World stopped at my birth and laid itself at my feet And I shall swallow the Earth whole when I die and the Earth and I will be one Hail The Great Spirit, my father without him no one could exist because there would be no will to live Hail The Earth, my mother without which no food could be grown and so cause the will to live to starve Hail the wind, my grandmother for she brings loving, lifegiving rain nourishing us as she nourishes our crops Hail the fire, my grandfather for the light, the warmth, the comfort he brings without which we be animals, not men Hail my parent and grandparents without which not I nor you nor anyone else could have existed Life gives life which gives unto itself a promise of new life Hail the Great Spirit, The Earth, the wind, the fire praise my parents loudly for they are your parents, too Oh, Great Spirit, giver of my life please accept this humble offering of prayer this offering of praise this honest reverence of my love for you.
When you arise in the morning,
give thanks for the morning light,
give thanks for your food
and the joy of living
If you see no reason for giving thanks,
the fault lies in yourself.
Space mean nothing to friends. They find each other again and again, to share the things that are important - and a great many things that are ordinary, everyday events.
Tsu na li I, friends or close ones, forgive us whether we deserve it or not. They know how easy it is to get off center. But they have high hopes for us - maybe even higher than we have for ourselves.
We are at our best when someone chooses to be that kind of friend, to make allowances for our lapses of memory - for no other reason than precious, loyal friendship.
It is a quiet, peaceful and dear relationship that never grows old and never ends.
Being such a friend is a sweet and blessed responsibility.

well i was told by a elderly lady who speaks to the beings beyong in the other dimensions that i once was a native american indian.....
i was their witchdoctor and i gathered my spiritual energy from the moon and the wolves. she told me we can bring qualities froma past life into this one , which i belive.
i feel more lively an happy and energetic with full moon than with no moon.
and once a dog look like it was attacking me but it ended up staeing into my eyes then sniffed around my feet then kind of just started walking away in a zig zag very slowly snifing the floor i was shocked and amazed ....this happened not so lonng before i saw this spiritual lady.
the owner of the dog was also shockd because the dog was apparently very agressive to strangers.
thats a memory il never forget and a story il always share.
blessed be
