I AM
I am the universe
The universe is me
I am the future
The future is me
I am the present
The present is me
I am the past
The past is me
I am the blood
The blood is me
I end the feud
The feud ends with me
I am the music
The music is me
I am the ancient ones
The ancient ones are me
See the sun
See the moon
See the stars
I am them
They are me
Hear the river
It is me
Feel the wind
It breaths the ancestors
The ancestors are me
I sing the words
My blood knows the lyrics and the rhythm
I am the universe
The universe is me
A THOUSAND MORE
I was born the way I was born
and I was born the way I was born
I will celebrate that
and I celebrate that
I’ve lived a hundred lives
I will live a thousand more
I know you now
and I will know you then
New York to Canada to L.A.
We found each other along the way
New York to Canada to East L.A
and we’ll find each other again
My brother
My sister
I know your face
I feel your presence
You are in my waking dreams
If we haven’t met now
I will meet you then
I was born the way I was born
and I was born the way I was born
I will celebrate that
and I celebrate that
I’ve lived a hundred lives
I will live a thousand more
The hardship
The love
The laughing
The time spent thinking
Life, it could have been more
When it came time to leave our lands
It wasn’t the first time and it wouldn’t be the last
The Earth knows where we have been
and our travels can make amends
To keep standing and not fall
I was born the way I was born
and I was born the way I was born
I will celebrate that
and I celebrate that
I’ve lived a hundred lives
I will live a thousand more
THE TIME
He is sleeping
Don’t wake him up
He tells me about his dreams
About the woman he has seen
the mountain that he has climbed
the stream that he has crossed
If I wake him
Then the story will be lost
He is sleeping
I won’t wake him up
when night falls
and the stars are in the sky
Will I be in his memory
To be dreamt of while he rests
In my heart I do no different
In my thoughts I keep him alive
The sleep that he enjoys now
Will not always be
He is sleeping
Don’t wake him up
But if my time has come to join him
Will he welcome me in peace
I have woke him
Not intending to be unfair
But he felt my cry for help
I thanked him just by being there
WOMANKIND
Am I closer to humanity?
I bleed.
Do I feel a little more?
I bleed.
Are my thoughts within the universe?
Will I see you, sense you because I give?
My blood leaves my body
Spills out into the world
Because I know the pain, the lust, the urges
More than man can even know or that he can ever, ever, ever experience.
I bleed.
My heart is tied to my gut.
I bleed.
I feel the earth within my being.
I bleed.
It returns to me two-fold.
Only now do I see
How it is that woman lives
A conduit for life
The platform for those who breath.
I bleed.
For you, for me, for those who have died.
My pain, my pleasure, my sorrow is a sign for all.
I bleed.
PLANTED
I am not politically correct
I stand with my feet planted in the earth
The water of a cold stream rushing past my knees,
up to my hips that I birthed this Nation from
Between the ancestral mountain and the mighty ocean
Beneath the greatness of thunder sky
And the brightness of the Fire King
The power of the luminaries
Calling out to the ancestors
The Oneness of the Universe
How shall this day end
And that the night brings light for my path into tomorrow
And the day brings darkness
Hiding the true story of the People
TALKING STICK
We say our piece and I speak my truth
Let go and release, yield to yourself and to others
Our essence is passed between the walls of our life force
Change and metamorphosis for all
Telling stories and writing the future
Bringing life and vision
My heart burns with your meraki
Knowing I am forever new
I accept the talking stick from you
Please accept my message and welcome my thoughts
As I do
Hear what the Grand Council has to say
They plan and strategize for the nations and the small
The mighty look to what is not shiny for the answers
Do you answer the call
Stand up and take the talking stick
Say your piece
Bring your vision to the council and wear the belt of peace
We create and bring life to all that is new
Bringing energy and humble words
Laced with precision and sharp
Cutting through layers of old to reveal what is beneath
Shaping lives and what will soon be here
Opening to the very center and revealing a benevolent outcome
We say our piece and I speak my truth
I yield
WOUND
This wound is open and time has left its mark
Put hearts to the ground and heal the nations
Every elder of every tribal clan
This call will now be answered
Send your elder from each Nation
From every corner of the earth, all across the lands
The Grand Council will meet united
Placing a shift and ripping
through the cloak of darkness and revealing the cause
Their energy will go out into the bones and send the final message
The vibration will fill the universe and the tear will become a scar
CURATIVE CEREMONY
Peace is the harmonious balance between fear and desire = FIRE.
For every fear there is an equal desire.
List six words that represent the essence of peace,
which is three for fears and three for desire, and write them down.
Create a 12-pie chart and write each word in a sentence
to reflect both a fear and a desire.
For example:
DESIRE
Acceptance
Being Seen
Understanding
FEAR
Fraud
Lying
Deception
For every desire there is a fear, a yin and a yang.
The harmonious balance equals PEACE.
Take the equality of your fears and desires and burn them in the FIRE.
Let the smoke of PEACE go into the universe
to become part of the atmosphere.
Add water to the ashes of PEACE
and place the mixture at the root of a very large tree.
Smear the tree root with the mixture
and also let it seep into the ground
to be absorbed into the roots of the very large tree.
The energy and message of PEACE from the FIRE
will go out into the atmosphere and become part of the universe
affecting a change to create the harmony of fear and desire
and a resounding message of PEACE.
The people will breath in the harmony of fear and desire in equal parts
and energy and absorb it into their body and create changes in their DNA
by changing their thoughts and energy vibrations by experiencing
the meraki of the FIRE.
In this way we pass the talking stick and live under peace
through a harmonious balance of desire and fear.
LOOKING FORWARD
We hold our head high and keep our vision to the future,
savoring the journey.
Our travels complement what our soul has manifest
Telling our story to future generations
Letting in the light and opening our hearts wide
Setting foot on land and drifting across the ocean floor
Not yet knowing its depth, but the sea our labor.
Without rest we continue on
Seeking more
Hungry for life and thirsty with lust, to experience even more.
To know what is being written,
all while resting in sleep
Unaware we are creating the future
and being prophet to those yet to walk the sands.
TODAY
Today, as a gathering of souls, we ask, "What is love?"
Love is the salve that heals the wound, the voice of reason,
the warm embrace, a welcoming, a receptive heart, an open palm.
Love is setting the ego aside.
Love is unconditional and sees only the soul
and through loves’ lessons my soul sees your soul
and now the wound becomes a scar.
In unconditional love the power of our energy is united
across the entirety of Mother Earth,
beneath the vastness of Father Sky.
The coolness of healing waters run through
the blood that has been spilled.
The wind carries the voices of lament and sings a new song.
The flame of fire burns brightly to ignite
and power a spirit of joy and community
where fear has no mastery
and when we are vulnerable we are seen in beauty
and stand in our power and let go of
what things are not in support of the community path.
We are rebuilding the former
cornerstone foundations with unconditional love.
We are establishing bridges of trust and paths of loving kindness
that energetically creates a oneness of souls.
As we heal, so does the universe.
WING OF BIRD
I hear the sound of tree frog
I hear the wing of bird
Cricket singing her song
I hear the ripple of water
Dancing in the moonlight
I hear tires on pavement
A symphony of tree
Carry on
I hear you whisper sweet nothings in my ear
I like best what you're saying to me
Carry on
The night is cold
Coyote howl
May the healing begin
Carry on
Carry on
Standing strong
Standing strong
Carry on
Carry on
Standing still
Standing still
Heal me tree frog
Heal me bird
Heal me cricket
Heal me mighty tree
Carry on
Carry on
Standing still
Standing still
Heal me water
On this journey
Carry on
I will carry on
