The Gratitude Campaign

2009-03-03T16:44:00.004-05:00

Being a solider in any war, no matter what side you are on is difficult and it can be a very lonely place to be. I can not even begin to image what our US Troops must be going through and what gambit of emotions they are feeling, being in battle zone everyday and the thought of, to kill or be killed running in the back of their mind.

I do not care what others think or say. But I say this, thank you. Thank you for stepping forward and protecting our ways of life. I may not agree with ever aspect of our governments policies. But, I am thankful to be in a Country that allows me to speak my truth and allows me to express my freedom of religion and spirituality. I know that freedom is not FREE!!! But I also know that Peace is never achieved with war.

I'm proud to be a USA Citizen... I stand behind our troops and my country.

Good bye Tuttle park rec center! :(

2009-02-22T20:23:00.011-05:00

Well the city of Columbus closed down several rec centers, due to budget cuts. On Feb 21. Tuttle park staff held a thank you to the community party from 6pm - 9pm. We all said good by to the place that gave so much to us all. I grew up playing sports and making crafts in that center.

I sure will miss it. Here are some photos I want to share with all of you. Most of these folks worked very hard to make this a great place for the community.

I'm not sure what will happen to most of them? Knowing them, they should be okay. My biggest concern are the kids in the neighborhood.

Leatherlips - Legendary Wyandot Chief

2009-02-08T21:25:00.002-05:00

Went to see Leatherlips with my family. the site is located in Dublin, Ohio off of 33.

The head is made from limestone.

My morning walk with nature...

2009-02-08T06:47:00.006-05:00

My mornings are like most peoples. Feed my kids and drop them off at school and breath a sigh of relief when that part is complete and say now my day is off to a good start. Do not get me wrong I love my kids, best blessing ever. If you're a parent your free time from your family is very special.

My favorite place in the whole world is Tuttle park. In the spring, summer and fall. I walk the trails like I did as a kid after getting out of school, I would go exploring the woods and fish along the Olentangy river. But, after time life has a way of taking over and being a kid starts to fade as we grow older and we get get caught in the hustle and bustle of life and the illusion of time.

I started walking again after having major surgery about 4 years ago. I almost transitioned! But looks like God has bigger plans for me. I needed to take better care of my body and soul...

Every morning is a new story unfolding, the woods has so much to teach and I have so much to learn from her.

This particular morning was different then others. I usually go alone. But I asked Rosa my sister to join me. We talked about the trees and the energies, we could feel around us the power of our majestic old friends the trees. We decided that we were going to hug trees and get grounded.

On our way to my favorite spot I spotted a little tanish bird with the most beautiful yellow tips I had seen.

The little bird was not scared at all. I first thought it might be hurt. but it looked at us and almost looked like it was grinning (I know birds do not have lips).

I picked it up and put it in my hat. The bird looked up at me as to say thanks for the lift buddy. I was wearing yellow, so I might had looked like a big fat bird or a gum drop to it.

We walked about 25 feet and my new friend decided he/she had enough and flew away into the tall grass.

Rosa and I looked at each other and smiled and commented on how cool that was to be so close to nature and to be allowed to share that moment.

I never saw my new friend again and have not seen that type of bird again.

Good old tree, it collapsed from termites eating it.

This Rosa, she a cool sister. We work on lots of projects together.

Earth-Healing Fire Ceremony.

2008-09-01T22:04:00.017-04:00

What a wonderful day for the ceremony, as I set the 13 grandfathers stones to hold the space I wonder how the weather would hold up. Would it rain or would the sun shine on us. I looked to the sky and did not see a cloud in sight and I knew we would be blessed.

I really enjoyed selecting the sticks for the inner tepee and then cutting bigger branches for the outer tepee. The whole time arranging the wood I thought about mother Earth and how important he is to all of us and how we take her for granted.

As we spin on this big blue planet I think about my ancestors and how they might looked and treated the earth. I can bet that it was way different the way we do things these days. But at the same time we have such advancements like water treatment plants, trash refuse. More people more waste and consumption of natural resources.

My friends and family took part in the special moment. We said prayers and honored the space. After we lit the fire, I embraced the flames to my chest I could feel the warmth of the in my chest. I felt like I was in a different time and place. I knew that the earth and I connected for that moment. For she is a living being, she is all my relations.
As we all shared the fire and we all gave thanks to Mother Earth and returned the love with our hearts and souls. I was very touched and very sad to think that we hurt her so much and use her and abuse her and we dump on her like an old rag. I will never look or be the same after the ceremony.

As fast as I lit the fire to the wood, the flame died out and all that was left was the hot embers of the wood. The wood that held the flame was once more ash and the energy had transmuted into something different and new. I too transmuted into something different and new.
