Free Poetry:

Re-edit

On old and flat wires
I am happy.
I lose time only to find
The sun is gone
And I am still alone

many hands

Great GrandFather Mustang Many Hands Teaching Of
The Day:

Allow the hands of your soul to be the compass that guides
you along the path of life. Listen to your heart and you will
receive the directions to follow on a daily basis. Be open and
trust when your heart tells you to change your course and
with faith follow the new directions. This way you and All
your Relations will receive gift coats of many colors and
discover new revelations.

Father Death Blues



Father Death Blues

Hey Father Death, I'm flying home
Hey poor man, you're all alone
Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going

Father Death, Don't cry any more
Mama's there, underneath the floor
Brother Death, please mind the store

Old Aunty Death Don't hide your bones
Old Uncle Death I hear your groans
O Sister Death how sweet your moans

O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths
Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths
Pain is gone, tears take the rest

Genius Death your art is done
Lover Death your body's gone
Father Death I'm coming home

Guru Death your words are true
Teacher Death I do thank you
For inspiring me to sing this Blues

Buddha Death, I wake with you
Dharma Death, your mind is new
Sangha Death, we'll work it through

Suffering is what was born
Ignorance made me forlorn
Tearful truths I cannot scorn

Father Breath once more farewell
Birth you gave was no thing ill
My heart is still, as time will tell.

Great GrandFather Blake Heyokah Teaching Of The Day:
Oh, just let go and walk on the wild side of reality.
Release all the preprogrammed prescriptions for
living and break on through to the other side. You
deal the cards for a change and fire the dealer who
doesn't know what he and she is doing. Forget about
yesterday, walk awake in the DreamTime today, and
tomorrow will manifest from your actions in the
moment. Manifestation comes from what you do,
what you think, and how you behave moment by
moment by moment. If you have a good time and
laugh from your heart, love people unconditionally,
and utterly and completely love your self you will
see that you have all that you need and most of what
you desire.

Wake Up America!

Check it!



"The decision before us is whether Congress will stand up to tell future Presidents that America has seen the last of these injustices, not the first."

Philo of Alexandria: Always be kind because everyone you meet is going through a great struggle.

Great GrandFather Joseph White Wolf Teaching Of The Day:
Pack your backpack and set out on a journey. A
journey to become unbound. A journey that will
teach you how to recognize and alchemize 'all'
the ways you are which duplicate 'all' the
innappropriate and disfunctional ways other
people are. Solve the riddles, remove the
barriers, do not believe anything at face value.
Learn discernment and eliminate critical
negativity. Practice being a witness with no
attachment to outcome. Live by the truth of
your soul heart not by the laws, rules, and
regulations of disharmonious people and
systems. Live in your physical body as you
live in your spiritual body in heaven. And
dance the sacred medicine dances of love,
light, and the ancient ones who know no
limitation.

Best Pizza Evah!

I made the killinist pizza ever today. The dough was perfect!





The month when farmers escape the heat
who will share a dipper of wine
I've set some wild fruits out
and made a circle of cups
with horsetail rushes for mats
and banana leaves as plates
once you're drunk and sitting propped up
Sumeru is just a pea

-Han Shan

Friday Night Bok Choy and Dumplings

Made some bok choy and dumpling soup tonight!!! Super good and my stomach just won't stop expanding.




Soup: yellow onion, garlic (3 cloves), water, salt, tomato (at the last second), and baby bok choy
Dumplings: real milk, real butter, flour, baking soda, salt (rolled into a thin string and then cut small)



Plus a fresh and not slimy local greens salad to kick off the summer.
There is something really appealing about hot soup during a heat wave. What's up with that?
