Indian Angel

Your wings overshadow my soul,

because of you my life is made whole.

The medicine you carry within your smile,

leads and guides each and every Red mile.

You are the fire that warms the cold,

the Spirit of the story that the Elders told.

You are the beauty that comes in the spring,

you are the reason that the song birds sing.

The moon that pulls the waves to the shore,

to the highest of heavens my heart does soar.

A ceremony of peace and the grace of power,

the beauty of the momentm, the strength of the hour.

When your glory outshined the stars,

and you freed this soul from white bars.

An Indian angel,

that embodies the beauty of her race

An Indian angel,

that is a reflection of the Creator's face

"The Dance of The Warrior Woman."

She dances with passion and grace
As the sunlight glistens on her face.
Oblivious to all around her
She dances to the heartbeat of the Drum.
She dances for those who have gone before
And for those yet to come.

She dances as the singers sing an ancient tune,
She dances to honor Mother Earth,
Brother Sun and Sister Moon,
She dances for all creation both large and small
But it is for her children
She dances most of all.

She dances so that they might know,
So that they might see and learn,
So on she dances on nimble feet
Growing stronger with each turn.

Around and around the Circle she dances,
Her red shawl swirling in the wind,
The dance of the Warrior Woman,
Just like the Circle,
Has no beginning and no end.

Your Red Heart

Native Woman, your little red heart

Awakens the night sky with fire

Feathers hang from your long black hair

Those turquoise stones around your neck

Your beauty engraved within flesh

Your red spirit strong and whole

From the desert sand to the winter snow

Your footsteps lead me to a better place

A place where you uphold your race

You are a movement that the soul does feel

You are a jewel that no society can steal

A rain that restores and that heals

Washing away the past with grace

In a vision of medicine, I see your face

Native woman, your little red heart

Awakens the day with light and glory

Only you can tell our peoples story

Mother, show me how to love,
Beyond my human fear:
Teach me all the joys of life
Beyond the veil of tears.

Let me find the pleasure of
A lover's gentle hands:
Let me know the wisdom of
Respect without demands.

Oh, Keeper of Forgiveness,
Teach me how to see
Beyond the petty judgments,
Supporting human dignity.

I will learn your Medicine
Of Mother, lover, friend,
Teaching others how to love
And broken hearts to mend.

Mother, teach me how to heal
The feelings inside of me:
Teach me how to respect all life
With burgeoning humility.

Show me the path away from abuse,
Where everything sings of life,
Where heartache is just a memory
Of ancient, human strife.

Let my spirit be healed
Until dying holds no fear,
Where rebirth is welcomed,
Bringing me joyous tears.

These are the things that I desire,
For I want to truly know,
The pathways and healing passage
Through the dark night of the soul.

Thank you, Mother, for teaching me
To lift my heart in praise,
Filling my spirit with gladness
For the blessings of the Beauty Way.

You have taught me how to sing,
How to rejoice, dance and drum,
And how to sing my gratitude
For the abundance that will come.

You have shown me the magic of
A change in the mind and heart,
An attitude made of wisdom
That celebration of life imparts.

I sing the truth of thankfulness

When I greet Grandfather Sun,

Then send my love to Mother Earth

For the life force that makes us one."

FORGIVING THE UNFORGIVABLE

This is one of the most powerful gifts that the medicine wheel teaches us. You can only forgive when you are ready but you need to do certain things to prepare yourself. Until you acquire this gift you will never be who the Creator wants you to be.

F is for fulfillment. Once you forgive the person, place or institution you will come full circle and you will no longer carry that baggage of resentments around with you. You will gain peace and serenity in your life in a way you have not known previously.

O is for openness. You have to be open to the healing spirit of letting go. Once you surrender your right to hate and resent whatever it is, then you will be open to the beauty and love that is all around you.

R is for recovery. By the act of forgiveness you will learn what real recovery is all about. First we recover, and then we rediscover who we really are. This is a process and not an event, so once you do it you must continue to forgive others in order to progress in your healing journey.

G is for greater good that comes from the Creator, Higher Power or whatever you call your spiritual source. By forgiving the unforgivable, you will become closer to your Creator and learn how to maintain conscious contact with Creator.

I is for the individual. One of the hardest things to do is to forgive yourself for what you have done. Our Creator is a loving spiritual power and the Creator is forgiving. Once we forgive ourselves for everything we have regretted doing then we will experience only the love the Creator meant for us.

V is for vision. Once you forgive in all areas of your life then you will become clearer on what your purpose is. One of the things that holds us back and keeps us from doing the Creator’s work is that we sometimes hold onto that one thing we are not able to ask forgiveness for.

E is for emotional well-being. In the teachings of the Medicine Wheel, we talk about being in balance mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. When you learn the gift of forgiveness for you and others you will walk in beauty and in balance.

Oh Great Spirit

Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind,
Whose breath gives life to all the world.

Hear me; I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.

Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice

Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.

Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes towards me.

Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf & rock.

Help me seek pure thoughts & act with the intention of helping others.

Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me.

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - Myself.

Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.

So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

The Twenty Third Psalm

The Divine Shepherd

(Indian Version)

The GREAT FATHER above a SHEPHERD CHIEF is.

I am His and with Him I want not.

He throws out to me a rope

and the name of the rope is love

and He draws me to where the grass is green

and the water is not dangerous,

and I eat and lie down and am satisfied.

Sometimes my heart is very weak and falls down

but He lifts me up again draws me into a good road.

His name is WONDERFUL .

Sometimes, it may be very soon,

it may be a long long time,

He will draw me into a valley. It is dark there,

but I'll be afraid not,

for it is between those mountains that the SHEPHERD CHIEF

will meet me and the hunger that I have

in my heart all through life will be satisfied.

Sometimes he makes the love rope into a whip,

but afterwards He gives me a staff to lean upon.

He spreads a table before me with all kinds of foods.

He puts His hand upon my head and all the " tired " is gone.

My cup he fills till it runs over.

What I tell is true. I lie not.

These roads that are "away ahead" will stay with me through this life and after;

and afterwards I will go to live in the Big Teepee

and sit down with the

SHEPHERD CHIEF

forever.

NATIVE LADY DRAGONFLY

Mates for Life

How the Female Eagle Chooses her Mate

as told by the...

Wintu Tribal Elders of California!

When it comes time for the female Eagle to choose her mate,

She prepares herself for many suitors.

And many come before her.

She looks them over quite well and then picks one to fly with for awhile.

If she likes the way he flies she finds a small stick,

picks it up and flies high with it.

At some point she will drop the stick to see if the male can catch it.

If he does, then she finds a larger stick

and flies with it much higher this time.

Each time the male catches the sticks,

she continues to pick up larger and larger sticks.

When she finds the largest, heaviest stick that she herself can carry,

the stick is at this point almost the size of a small log!

But she can still fly very high with this large stick.

At any time in this process, if the male fails to catch the stick,

she flies away from him as her signal that the test is now over.

She begins her search all over again.

And when she again finds a male she is interested in,

she starts testing him in the exact same way.

And she will continue this "testing"

until she finds the male Eagle who can catch all the sticks.

One of the reasons for this test is that at some point

they will build a nest together

high up and will then have their Eaglettes.

When the babies begin to learn to fly, they sometimes fall instead.

It is then? that the male must catch his young. And he does!

The female Eagle and their Eaglettes have depended

on him to be strong for them.

Just as we Woman and Children need to depend upon our Men.

So what I would like to offer to you my friends is this.....

Sisters, how well do you "test" your suitors

before you allow them into your life?

And my Brothers, how well have you caught the "sticks" for

your women and your children?

Whatever our past has been like, if we need to change,

let's do so now together.

Our children are counting on us to make these good choices

for them and for their children.

Aho!......

All My Relations.

Canadian Thanksgiving....October 9th, 2006

I bow my head in prayer,
and give thanks for this day;
I pray to God above,
for showing me the way.

I bow my head in prayer,
and thank God for His grace;
For entrusting me in
His warm and loving embrace.

For those without a home,
I ask God for His best;
I bow my head in prayer
for the homeless to be blessed.

For those alone today,
I bow my head in prayer;
I ask God's loving mercy
to remove their despair.

I give thanks unto the Lord,
that He hears my every plea;
Bless the ones in need
who are less fortunate than me.

Have a Great Week

Autumn Blessings

Nature teach me
Make me a child of the Earth again
Open me to the everyday wonders and magic

Sharpen my ears to hear the birds and crickets
Clear my eyes to see the beauty of life around me
Make my touch gentle enough to feel the texture of a leaf

Open my heart to wonder and delight
Fill my spirit with gratitude and kindness
May I be truly awake for my magic journey of being alive.

Miigwech!

Autumn

The Gathering
What once was summer has passed on by
And the new season has begun in a color....
Of gold and brown, with an awesome Autumn sky
For this time of year is like no other....
just like the pilgrims and Indians who all came before...
The coolers are shut down for the Fall/Winter season
and the heaters are readied just for this reason....

We ready ourselves for the holidays that are near
and our tastebuds are all in the ready....
for the vision of Turkies and Pumpkins and such
lend to the feeling that we may eat to much....
Reservations, for planes and trains we may try
and maybe this year we'll just go by car and not fly....
Family is awaiting the rest of it's brood
to partake in the fellowship and devour the food....
This is the time of year that beckons life's reason
to give and to love in this special of seasons....
Happy Autumn
