11302013 A Sun That Shines Inside My Heart: Swimming Ice Blowing In the Wind (snow, crystalline stones, suns)


There is a sun that shines inside my heart does bind, to bring us all home alone (one at a time). We will know the stones (each other). Each child lives up to the sea, gallantly and free, to hold the title horn, "I share my words, the song I heard". Let there be sunshine free, land and true liberty. Thee is the song. Your heart knows the waves. Look at where I am saved (inside of my heart shines) There is a time to lean on love, just in time to share. Just in time to shine.

We are the judgement call, to leap and will "not to fall", yet as we find our hind (past revelation), there we learn to shine, one (stepping) stone (lesson) at a time. There is a happening to me. I can feel that I need some liberty. We are learning to come across the snow, just in time to bring love to what grows.

We are children longing to feel the waves. Yet we don't seem to understand the bow and praise. How can we set our sails on the seas if we don't understand holy seeds. Plant your love today, plant your love. Plant your love today, plant your love. There you will feel the rushing waves. All the stories of what was say. Listening to the view, is a such a righteous knews. We are children longing to feel, If we only did know the sacred wheel. All together, it's time to fly. We are children with open eyes. 

Wondered where you went, not willing to find the sacred lent. Rise up Sun rise up, there you will find a sacred song, inside of your heart today it will sing. All the sunshine inside you sings. And the glory of heaven shares this heart, to become the witness of the holy arks. We are children rising up in the winds. All tomorrow it's great begins. We are learning to travel thus far. We are able to shine our light, from inside of you and me. We are the sacred trees of lights. We are joined together in this harmonic praise tonight. Share a holy daze in your dreaming phase. Join in hands. All across the world, we demand. Love your neighbor. Love your friend. Love the foster child, who needs more wind. Love that little bird always pecks at your door. Love that little worm, always chewing up more. 

There is a time when we could sail and set it all free. If only our wills could change to seek real liberty. We are joined together in this dream world. And we need each other to make it a grand filled. WE are all the children of the night, who shine bright. And in the day the sun inside shines to make it night again. And where we did sing our songs, the light did bring us home. Inside the lanes and fields of heavenly horns that sing.

There is a sun inside of me that binds with everyone. I know it's time to make it a holy sacred run. And when it's time to make us chime........... and when it's time to dine together, let us sing our songs of praise. We will raise our cups and overfilled with wine and lust/er (shiny tears of joy and happiness bust), for we are champions longing to wind, longing to live without any sin. Bless you all free. Bless the enemy. Bless this sacred world. All those rolling hills and waking enemies. And where they sing, help them know we must ring together. And without us, the rest of bust, the heart inside that wants to bring us closer together, it's perfect weather. The sun inside of me shines and binds. Inside of me holds the key of loving design. Inside of me. I shout out liberty.

Inside of me I share the world for all to care. Inside of me, I want to know we are paired. We are designed to love this world today. Longing to make it a sacred praise. Paradise wake up inside my heart, then I can see. I can see it all in trees. I can see, all the making of harmony. I can see, heavenly hands got a hold of me. I will shine for this world to make it holy filled, one more step, towards man-kind.

Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star on the drum. Telling a story that makes us troubled and worried, then love comes in the hum. It's time to use LOVE to cleanse this world. It's time to find LOVE and fulfill. It's time to make LOVE to all that shines with holy pure of heart that binds. White Buffalo Calf Woman sings for you today, to share the hearts of all this praise. And love and glory to all those rays. I bow with my Rainbow Clan, relatives who live on the lands.

All the little varmints (rats, social interrogatory) which pick up the holy wicks (spat, now let's go to work), sparking the willing to have faith in a song, where are all together, moving along. We send blessings in this song. Let your hair down, sing and dance abound. For it's the spiritual soul within that leads and says, Holy to my Spirit, for I am going to bloom. I will share with this world. I will shine until NOON (inner brightest like a Star). We will become treasures when we pray along, together in a song, all together God's ONE. All the little spiders, who weave us to cradle the song. Telling us a story, that look out, watch the bones. There planted deeply a treasure under the stone, if we look closer, we might want to shown, love gifts and hooves (kicks and shoves, like parents on a rug).

11292013 Angels in the Trees: Swimming Ice Blowing In the Wind (snow, crystalline stones, suns)

Sing high above where there are Angel Eyes, the view of condemning (to express strong disapproval of our sins by official order says) love. It's true and blue, those who long to judge you (like parents guiding the young), because it's loving hands that imbue, to turn you around to know the Sioux (the constant heartbeat along the red road, where the law is love). And the grass is greener upon the lands, where the spiritual takes heed and understands (treasures appear when the rocks are overturned, the sticks show the way, relatives who are willing to save).

We are children longing to feel, the sensation of all the rolling wheels. And just because we don't understand, doesn't mean we don't love MAN. It means we must care about all the lands, including the heart of a Man. We are children longing to feel, the waking of our Fathers who sowed the wheel. He took us by the hands and led us to this forsaken land, now he must bow down (kneels, come down to where the child stands) with the wheel, to recover and make the lands heal.

Everywhere we long to feel, the sacred eyes of home land steels (sky scrapers), the strength of mighty forests and winds, that bring us home to every sin. And when we don't seem to understand, let us take the time to heal and bind. One more story, let me know your pace. Let me know which is your fountain of youth. I know you have many powers today, yet most of all it's LOVE that paves the waves. You and me, stir the trees. You and me, shine forever free, when we change our looking out and move inside to the stout, where my heart aligns withe breeze, my soul will roll, one more step, then I will find the rainbow. 

Singing high in the trees, I can feel the winds aligning in me. I can feel the sacred path, my spirit is longing to last, then we should guide others to what we need to know, the written, the fabulous show, the dream that is full of steam, to sparkle and beam. It's true you know, the Angels care sow, to plant the seeds of love every day. To gift a better truer way. To be holy and be true, when others really could use you. To help the traveller in need. To help the children when they bleed. And when all else is dead and gone, remember Woman who suffered from all this sin, help her with her daily bread, the loaves we read, the speaker of the house, that prayers were heard. We send love to all that is said. 

White Buffalo Calf Woman sings today, for all the Relatives on the waves. Riding the famous sky, the helium that takes us by surprise. The levitation skills that make us live for real. And times will share indeed, because we are learning to grieve, together it's the way, no need to bow down and shy away. It's hands together. Lands together. It's ONENESS rules above the show. Heaven on Earth knows all the glows/stones.

11282013 Bless the Hardships I Know: Swimming Ice Blowing In the Wind (snow, crystalline stones, suns)

There is a hardship in the air, when everyone just wants to care, yet outside where we lie, our hearts want to preside over things we cannot overcome, until we learn to become loyal SUNS. Then we go........... for that great ride. Where we sail over the river that seems wide. First look ahead, flow............ then pick up and row........ towards the river that leads from down below, that swivels back to and fro. There you will find a worshipping hoe (a faithful servant who serves others), one who just dug down deep below (to know your needs). A seed was planted near, to watch the sacred cheer, the fields and the diamonds we sown, there a garden of women with horns (who call out for justice with heavenly tones, it's smoking horns, blasting ray guns or laser light beams radiate from their hearts, love at all cost). 

Heaven will step on each child (grab hold), because we don't want the river to grow wild, instead we tame the beast (gift lessons) and show how bitter sweet (to become treasures, jewels from heaven), the child within just wants to know love, a place to call home and share the rows (aligned and harmonic). Home, home on the range, where all the lands come to stand and save. The hardships we endured, kept us sharpened and aware, conceived in the dead of the night (dreaming), silence that can hear all of it's plights. Forgive, that's what is said. Yet how can I forgive what was said? I have to let go and gift (a) compassionate show of many sacred rivers flow as ONE, then I will forgive all that was stead (time stood for).
A cross represents a crystalline stone!

There where the hardships I know, I will bless them with fire and watch the glow. And when I am done, I will cast it into the SUN, where the Stars of Heaven will burn it to glows, embers with Stars full of Stones (crystalline beings of light, each child in/sight). We will continue to bless, until we can forgive each sacred sun, each child in the world, each rock, cliff, animal, each herd/heard. All the voices we predict that need a holy kick, to tell the world about LOVE, the law that sought and burned. It's heavenly thrones that will set you free, all the true blue settlements we thought we knew. It's time to shelter my/our soul/s, to break each rock we roll (escaping light), to shine out, to dine out (cast out the shadow), to bring them home to the view, where it's hardships we carry together, that's true (helping each other). 

Roll and roll on those hills, where we have buried our bones (the past). Set down from within, the sacred sun forgives each sin, to rise up, cast a shadow (from within) full of light, a life proud to smile twice. Once on the road up. Once on the road down. There I hear the whooshing of the to and fro, I glow, the dreaming of the RAINBOW, just showed me the way/waves to go. And all I can do/dew to be faithful is to share my hands with you. We are loving. We are settling, around the circle to care. We want to hear your voice, to know you care. No matter how unsettled, disturbed to the n'th degree, the hardships you sweltered, needs loving roots to grow. And if we tried to hold on, then love did take root. Forgive those who could not let go and fly free with me in the groves (upon the winds of time, there lies many trees tumbling freely).

Home, home on the range, where the lion (sunshine from within beaming from sacred nine streams) and the buffalo (four directions) tamed, all the people who lost sight, what a glorious right, it is to breathe upon this sacred holy land, the place we stand to make amends. I (we, all the eyes who) stand for unity upon this land, for everyone is welcome to speak at the circle with spiritual cares, the world needs love to be aware.

White Buffalo Calf Woman sings, to help heel the world at it's needs in the spring (uprising of the Lords/Suns, each child who is prestige's in God, the voice is heard for the whole clan). Take hands together bind, the sacred HOOPS will help all bind, for it's six flowing rivers that flow from you, the center of the sacred knews, the soul that wants to take flight, with envisioning dreaming sight, the places of superior men and women who are hens (directional weavers). And together the worship will be, how to bind us, us all, FREE. Let the ONENESS of MAN learn to understand.

11272013 Thanksgiving For What I Sow, Envisioning Growth: Swimming Ice Blowing In the Wind (snow, crystalline stones, suns)

I have so much to share with you today. It's a day to be Thankful for all our praise. Come and gift sunshine to every daze. Let us dream about the faithful rays. I have so much to share with you today. Inside my heart I just want to praise. You are everything to me. You are the sacredness of the seas. I send my love out to thee, out eternally. Inside I feel the breeze.

I have sow much for me to share today. I can hear the drum beat from far away. And in my ears the rumbling of the Buffalo Drum, I can hear the settings of the SUNS (where they lie down inside their hearts).  We are learning to shine a k/new. If only others could get a handle on this chew. There is a salvation to this mighty wind. There is a heaven that makes our hearts begin. I have sow much to share with you today. My heart is longing for the celebration of this praise. I gift to you, all that I dew today. I gift to you, my heart I want to know it's glorious rays.

Abundance of the Harvest Moon
I am a Sun, an eye of many (indian corn of many colors) who linger in the winds. I can see the travelling circus come again/repeating. And twice I feel (deja vu, it's happened before), I have to know it's real. All that lingers in my soul is coming to appeal. And with this request, I bow my best, to show the holy rings of heaven come to show, bow with me. I will be there to sea, upon my travelling rings around the gold. Dreamers knows, I am cast out in the snow, where diamonds follow me wherever I go. I go to you, where there is a SUN DANCER (prayer cloth of many colors of the rainbow shine through from within as you bloom) who is true. You call my name. I can hear you without any shame. And beckon call, we are the children of this holy lot (field of dreams). And with this promise, the Rainbow clan show it's tots. We are children. We are the born clan. We are the promise across all the lands. We are the children, who will sing a k/new song (tears of joy and sorrow). We are the children who want to get along (wailing/crying out).


I have so much (tears in my voice, reverberation of wave frequencies) that I must feel. I must feel the waking rainbow that makes me steel (I am a strong combination). I am fallen (with the humble bow) inside of you where the clan of many colors coming to bloom. I am thankful today I fall (bow and praise with you). I am thankful to the holy call. I am sharing my heart with you. I am glory (gathering at the hoop) the ring of love coming true (my voice is sounding in the blue of you too, I love you)!


White Man the Father Nation and the
Red Man the Daughter Nation

Traveling with Pets for Thanksgiving?

November 25, 2008 by Tom James
Thanksgiving PalsTraveling with your pet this Thanksgiving holiday? Amid all of the get-togethers, food and celebration, don’t forget about your pet’s special needs that will help make the trip to — and once you get to your destination — safer and more enjoyable.


Remember to secure your furry friend for safe travel. Accidents and sudden stops can happen in an instant. Then it’s too late. An unrestrained pet can become a deadly projectile, causing injury to itself and other passengers in your vehicle. Why not play it safe and secure your pet in a crate belted to the vehicle or with a vehicle safety harness? Smaller pets enjoy some of the popular, elevated pet car seats, which allow them to see out over the river and through the woods. Your pet will have plenty of time to romp and play once you get to where you’re going. It’s up to you to keep him safe along the way.

As a reminder, be careful about what foods may be in paw’s reach of your pet. Poultry bones are easily swallowed and can pose a real choking hazard. Treats, such as chocolate intended for guests, can also cause serious problems and sometimes be fatal. A substance called theobromine is in chocolate and can be very toxic to pets.

Holiday plants such as mistletoe, holly and poinsettia can be deadly to animals, so make sure these are well out of reach.

By being prepared for safe holiday travel and cognizant of the dangers around your pet, you can help to ensure that your pet remains safe and secure during holiday visits. Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be a better pet parent.

Happy (and Safe) Pet Travels!

First Thanksgiving: Was It A Religious Celebration?

Thanksgiving Religious
By Daniel Burke
Religion News Service

(RNS) If you want to prepare for Thanksgiving like a real Pilgrim this year, here's what you should do: Cancel the plane reservations. Stop jotting down recipes. Leave the libations alone.

For the Pilgrims and Puritans, "thanksgiving" days were spontaneous and sober affairs.

When friends arrived from overseas, European Protestants defeated Catholics in battle, or a bumper crop was reaped, the Pilgrims dedicated a day to thanking divine Providence.

They would have considered it presumptuous to schedule a thanksgiving day in advance, said Francis Bremer, an emeritus professor of history at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. "It assumes that God is going to be good to you each particular year."

The Pilgrims' days of thanksgiving were usually spent in church, singing psalms, listening to sermons and praying. Work and playful pastimes were forbidden. When God provided, the Pilgrims were serious about gratitude.

Despite their reputation as buckle-belted killjoys, the Puritans and Pilgrims knew how to have a good time. They brewed beer, feasted on fowl and enjoyed sex -- all in moderation, of course.

That's why some historians believe the 1621 celebration that's sometimes dubbed the "First Thanksgiving," was not actually a "thanksgiving" day at all. In fact, some historians even call it a "secular event."

"The 1621 gathering in Plymouth was not a religious gathering but most likely a harvest celebration much like those the English had known in farming communities back home," write Catherine O'Neill Grace and Margaret M. Bruchac in their book, "1621: A New Look at Thanksgiving."

The Pilgrims partied for almost a week in the fall of 1621, according to eyewitness accounts. They shot fowl, played games, feasted and entertained nearly 90 Native American neighbors with a gun, er, musket show.

The Pilgrims would never have thrown such a party on a proper day of thanksgiving, according to James W. Baker, a former senior historian at the Plimouth Plantation in Massachusetts.

"The very nature of a celebration, extending over several days or a week with secular 'recreations' and non-Christian guests," Baker writes in the Encyclopedia of American Holidays and National Days, "is what pious Calvinists such as the Pilgrims would be first to protest had no place in any Christian holy day."

But that doesn't mean the "First Thanksgiving" was a secular celebration, argue some historians.

Jeremy Bangs, director of the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum in the Netherlands, said the idea of a "thankless or secular harvest festival was unthinkable."

"The Pilgrim leaders undeniably conceived of their lives in religious ways," Bangs said.

Everything the Pilgrims and Puritans did was suffused with faith, Bremer agreed.

"Can we know for sure that they conceptualized it as a 'thanksgiving'? Not in the way that we have it. But these are people who would have given thanks before every meal they had."

The problem with defining the original 1621 celebration -- besides the dearth of historical evidence -- is the absence of a full-time minister among the Pilgrims, said Bremer. Religious rituals were not as formal as they would become when a pastor, Ralph Smith, arrived nearly a decade later.

In other words, the Pilgrims were winging it in 1621: Glad to be alive after a dangerous voyage, happy for a good harvest and excited about their future in a fresh, new land.

Tonight it's a way to let love under ONE. We cherish this world, because we are SUNS, each child, each enemy, each parent with a child. All the the little creatures, the rocks and the sticks. All the little varmints (rats, social interrogatory) which pick up the holy wicks (spat, now let's go to work), sparking the willing to have faith in a song, where are all together, moving along. We send blessings in this song. Let your hair down, sing and dance abound. For it's the spiritual soul within that leads and says, Holy to my Spirit, for I am going to bloom. I will share with this world. I will shine until NOON (inner brightest like a Star). We will become treasures when we pray along, together in a song, all together God's ONE. All the little spiders, who weave us to cradle the song. Telling us a story, that look out, watch the bones. There planted deeply a treasure under the stone, if we look closer, we might want to shown, love gifts and hooves (kicks and shoves, like parents on a rug).  
Bowing with all our Relatives, Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy

Event: Ghost Walk, the New Moon Dance
(Monthly three day gathering with the family and friends, relatives in the winds)
Official Title: Katchee Tope wha: “the Clouds that Dance Ceremony”


Dance when heat and cold (mist/smoke of the ghost) find each other bold, binding to bring in the new, the ghost dance comes to infuse, the soul has risen, awaken and driven, the heavenly soul does reign. Renegades put on your shelter (warriors uniform, buffalo armor, rainbow colors purified), because it's turning to helter skelter (confusion and frenzy, bubbling up the soul does reign).  White Buffalo Calf Woman sings

Paradise gleams, the field in the trees, dew in the breeze!

Sacred Song Blessings, gift all a good song, because you are perfect in all that does song. Our hearts reach into heaven, and we flood, with a sound, the music of Angels, that gift us pure sound. I want you to know, that you are part of God, the echo, that lingers till light hits the "Dawn". And we are the magic, that children who know, the heart always has pureness, like the blessed snow!
