Sharing Today's Sunrise Medicine #2

They Will Return

MY FRIEND,

They will return again.

All over the Earth,

They are returning again.

Ancient teachings of the Earth,

Ancient songs of the Earth.

They are returning again.

My friend, they are returning.

I give them to you,

And through them You will understand.

You will see.

They are returning again upon the Earth.

CRAZY HORSE, Oglala Sioux (1842-77)

Sharing Today's Sunrise Medicine #1

Civilized people depend too much on man-made printed pages. I turn to the Great Spirit's book which is the whole of his creation. - Tatanga Mani, 1871-1967

Manitou

THE WORLD of the Native American, spiritual and otherwise, is not to be understood by assuming that it can be described easily in the English language, and in religious terms. What we now think of spirituality was not a religion in the commonly accepted definition of the word. It was their way of life, which is to say that it permeated their lives to such an extent as to be inseparable from everyday living....Manitou was not a supreme being, but rather a way of referring to the cosmic, mysterious power existing everywhere in nature. - Eunice Baumann-Nelson, Ph.D., Penobscot

Being a believer in Jesus Christ, of German/Scot heritage & a Sovereign member of the Seneca Nation, I embrace beliefs
that are hybrid based in Nature & Christianity. - SenecaWolf

The Great Spirit is in all things

He is in the air we breathe. The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us, that which we put into the ground she returns to us... - Bedagi (Big Thunder), Wabanki Algonquin, 1900's

Washita Cuts Mother to the Bone

It disturbs me greatly to witness first-hand 12 tractor-trailer loads of timber clear-cut from the forest of our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains & foot-lands every working day. That's 60 trucks a week, 3,120 yearly for over the recent 2-years I have lived on US route 50. Stop it NOW! - SenecaWolf, 1/10/2010

"I feel pain and anger that in your rush toward development. the fabric of this globe has been rent, and what you call the biosphere, or ecosphere - but which my people more simply call Mother - has been so neglected and hurt....Our elders tell us we have to do more than save what is left of our traditional homelands. We need to contribute to an overall change of mind...so that human-kind can begin to initiate strategies which will preserve and sustain the environment that all cultures and nations share." - Ruby Dunstan, Lytton Indian Band

Wedded Bliss

On June 15 Laura & Seneca celebrated 1 day of wedded "Bliss" at their favorite Tavern in Flint Hill, Va. Robbie Limon played and of course what would a reception be without Glass Onion the awesome Beatles cover band the following night.
Joining them in the fun where their four daughters- Dianne, Tisa, Chelsea, Cassy and three sons- Dwight, Matt, Michael. And last but not least their Griffin Family!http://www.griffintavern.com/

Why Listen to the Beatles of the Past?

http://www.griffintavern.com/
When you can hear them Live today or actually on June 2nd at the Griffin Tavern in little ol'(blink your eye)Flint Hill, Va. The Tavern is located in heart of Virginia Wine Country, nestled in the hills of the Shenandoah Valley on Rt 522 between Front Royal and Little Washington, Va.
So why listen to old vinyl or cds? When you you can hear the real deal! I have never experienced the Beatles Live in concert, But this must have been the way it sounded at the Cavern in Liverpool. From the moment you catch the ambience of Ted Seely's guitar and the authentic Lennon-like voice of Anthony Buono your feet are tapping and head swaying. There's nothing that compares with the dynamics of a Live performance!
