Between Father & Son: his wish.

From Father to Son: "A time will come, hopefully, a father will know the depth of knowing and understanding his child, his child's destiny, and how it is to be proud of his child's life. Life is a force in the world wedded into a weave complicated by simplicity. How we moved through these webs tells how we balance against the female principles. As we age knowing this balance becomes the greatest challenge. Within it are insights mere belief cannot possibly grasp... " - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/10/18

ELDER TALK, blessing

How do put blessing on a child? It is different than on a young person, and distinct in the proper way of being fair; it is a different delivery to boys, to men, girls and women. It requires a scope of one's own life to fairly assess what is needed in a young person's life at the exact moment you meet them.

It was a good day to sit outside in an open café with a cup of fancy hot chocolate and a breakfast sandwich in DC yesterday afternoon. I saw two Black boys, here in the northeast part of DC, defiantly walking passing a joint betwixt them. They chose to sit at a table near me. The one facing me looked in my eyes, glanced again and then stared hard ignoring my nod and said, "Whutzup?"

I paused. His aggression was no more than anger wrapped with the tension preceding an anticipation of a diatribe. If, I'd been another type man the kid might have felt compelled to jump in my face. Feeling small is a bit part in the make up of boys trying to fill out the spaces of the expectations of being a 'bad boy'. It is the father energy with the capacity to quell their passion wild boys respond to with a degree of reverence. How this starts is with a question asked. The question shapes the man's character for the boy to understand as a safe place. It sets the boy up for new revelations he had not known how to ask.

"Your walk speaks to me about power."
"What?"
"I see you, the both of you, with a sense of power about you. The question to you is how will you develop it?"

The strongest boy who'd engaged in eye contact leaned forward, curious. "What'd do mean?" he asked. "This is not a question to answer now, and not to me." I said. "You grow with it as you grow and mature over the years. Just remember the question."

How do you put a blessing on a boy's head? You put a thought in their heads.

is not as an object, but a force becoming. It is marvelous the growth of youth.

Walking In Beauty (Blessing)

Today I will walk out, today everything unnecessary will leave me, ...
I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body.
I will have a light body, I will be happy forever,
nothing will hinder me.
I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me.
I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me.
I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful.

In beauty all day long may I walk.
Through the returning seasons, may I walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.
With dew about my feet, may I walk.

With beauty before me may I walk.
With beauty behind me may I walk.
With beauty below me may I walk.
With beauty above me may I walk.
With beauty all around me may I walk.

In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.
My words will be beautiful.

Blessings over your Life!

2 spirits 1 woman.

Every moment and every step is precious. Wisdom opens up new thoughts to you as you step further down the road that is Red. Quiet your mind find peace in the solitude of the CIRCLE, which is SACRED! Be one with Creation, so you can be whole as one in the formula of life. Sacred are the teachings, and sacred are the hearts that teach you to value all that is around you. They are the witness to your light that shines in you daily, to hold the scepter that contain the scrolls of knowledge that reveal themselves to you on a level not understood by man. Preform the feats of understanding that will take you and others higher than they have ever been before. There are no other ways to see this vision if you are not ready with the product of self!

Pollution begins in the mind, which is the barrier of reasoning what makes you hard and rigid to the concept of gathering an understanding what is soft, pliable to the comfort of the road that is chosen. Learn to watch the teachers of the field, the lords that go unnoticed cause they are all humbled; they show their power in their humility, and they would never brag, or boast of their feats to none cause their venture shows in the strides of their good ethics on how to respect what is truly not theirs alone.

Show yourself that you too must learn and to be in this class of learning there will always be a block for you to stumble on for you to look down to show your pride and ego that they must sit down and watch how the humble cross the bridge where the rapids of water are in rage and want to devour the soul of those two to hold on; is to remember what was given to you with love and earnest; to put the prayer on smoke means you have learned your place and you know that reality is a place much more real than this. And to hold what is dear too you close cause that is the reason why we touch our hearts when we touch our MOTHER EARTH.

So to all who walk this road, my heart is out for you. May my prayers on smoke cover you and give you the wise breath of the founder of Life....cause

These are my thoughts..... Walk in beauty..... AHO! 

— Cloud Spencer Eaglebear (March 13, 2017)  




Dear Brother, Cloud Eaglebear, thank you for these wonderful helpful words of wisdom, as Spirit would have them coming to life and heart of realization in the perfect timing of why we all in the circle must keep a higher step for the greatest good of all. So our song in the winds is a pure one and our gifts and offerings of love for others in the circle of sacred life are truly given in the closeness of spirit they are intended to be...

I am humbled to be included in the circle. Thank you for ever being near. Spirit guides all happenings in divine perfection. Also, beautiful photo of woman warrioress in harmony and balance with life. Much love and respect to you good brother.. Blessings on your day. A'ho! - Carol Windsong  (May 17, 2017)

Bless Her Way.



Sassy, defiant and assured she is right on target with her opinion of self. It is in the eyes.
 

The deep purpose in her eyes is convincing. Perhaps she is on the walk to herself.

These are the things an elder thinks of. - Dawn Wolf Keeper of Stories 6.28.16

 

PRAYER

This world is like a mountain.

GOOD MORNING from New Zealand

Ata marie ~ peaceful Morning Loving Kin ...it's another Sweetheart South Pacific morning chirping into joyful and triumphant miracles in expansion. Softly Birdsong lifted the veil of Night and opened a new horizon as Grandfather Sun lifted his Smile straight into our thirsty Spirits and grateful Heart songs. May your day be as radiantly renewing as Grandfather is reliable ...rising each day in faithful ascent ...showing us all The Way of Balance ...rise above into the Sky infinity of ourselves Sacred Kin ...mauriora! Lifeforce WellBEing. - Ngaronoa Taki (Jan. 9, 2012)

 

WHITE ROSES, white lei poho

Kia ora ~ Vibrant WellBEing Sacred Kin ...Great Mother is speaking stronger in our BEings in this time. The call to our Kin far and wide is growing in our need to create inner shifts and come back to Earth, literally. Our Elders do what needs must, to ensure the flow of Life continues regardless of the Takers and Strangers who bring gluttony, selfishness and perversion to our Minds. We are strong enough to resist and walk on in BEauty. Our Hearts and Spirits reach out to ourselves cos we are One Family in the complex of Life. What affects one, affects the whole.

 

I feel so many there our Ancients Selves and Tribalz quietly going about getting on with the ever blessed changes to come into alignment with Great Mothers Renewal and Rejuvenation. I hear in the many conversations still, a deep addiction to the Having cultures. It's understandable, if that is all which has been presented to your Mind, when Heart is demonized and Spirit is hijacked by outer concerns. These talismans of the white lei poho (head garland) of white Roses speaks to my energy of the need to keep my own thoughts pure and the innocence protected by my Grandparents in tact. It is a discipline. To cleanse one's thoughts daily of the debris all around, in order to see first and always, the BEauty beyond it. The Hei Tiki in Rasta colours is a fusion from our Brotherz. The Hei Tiki is our Fertility symbol and one of the icons of the First Human Being ...Tiki referring to the Last Born ...in the Family of Creation. The Rasta colours bind us to our Kinspeople the Planet deep in our shared beliefs regarding I and i Spirituality coming direct between our Gods and ourselves with all that is between. My Heart reaches out to you Sacred and Chiefly Brother Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha.

BLESS YOU GREGORY

"Sacred Blessings and gentle Rivers of Ancients spread before you Gregory. Let there always be spaces in between the infinite departures and arrivals which Ancestors travelling guide us to and bring us home from. May the ascending planes of our metaphysical BEauty remind us ...as above and so below. Prayers continue ...to light your path in this physical Realm. Where there is Love there you go also. Ma te wairua e kawea. When our Spirits are lifted, we are able to accomplish the seemingly impossible. Only Love in expansion ...maurioran!" -from Mereana Taki, June 3rd, 2010

Mereana Taki, it would sound trite to say thank you, but I do. The true power of your blessing rings in the deep places of my being, my medicine that is ever growing in my practice. Thank you for giving me a blessing, Mereana. I receive it in the spirit it was given: within the embrace of love, and an understanding of the meanings of what it takes to live deeply. Gregory

ELDERS

“Young sisters need to be held, embraced, and taught by the Elders, not neccessarily elders because most of the older people they meet are not qualified to give young women the depth they need for these times! Young women embrace something special every woman has held and owned: innocense and plenty of time. Will the few women healers and teachers congregate around the central truths and realities as a collective? How many can stop being Americans and feed the women born for these times who came to change the world?” -Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

BLESSING

“I am struck by the humor, and tease of your expression. May you learn the medicine, the teachings of the Sacred Feminine, and experience the ceremonies, and rituals of womanhood hidden from most American women. Find the Elder Teachers of the Mysteries of the Sacred Feminine. I am Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories”

MY CHILDREN

Lemuel, my son, and the love of his life Talia

THE HEALING POWERS OF PARENTS

my first son Lemuel, and my first daughter Janvier

Holy People (diyin diné) of the Navajo (diné)

Diyin Dine'é


The diyin diné, generally translated as Holy People, are the beings whose actions are recounted in the stories and myths that are the basis for the Navajo ceremonials [Diné binahagha'] and who are pictured in the sand paintings ['iikááh]. They are the powerful beings whose intercession is being sought, with whom the participants wish to identify and make common cause.

The core group of these beings contains First Man [Átsé hastiin], First Woman [Átsé asdz], Coyote [M'ii], otherwise known as "first scolder" [Átsé hashké], First Boy [Átsé ashkii] and First Girl [Átsé at'ééd], Talking God [Haashch'ééti'í] and Calling God [Hashch'éoghan]. Other members of this group are the cardinal light phenomena, the white [igai] light of Dawn [hayíík] in the east [ha'a'aah], the blue [doot'izh] light of midday ['aní'ní'] in the south [shádi'ááh], the yellow [itso] light of twilight [nahootsoii] in the west ['e'e'aah], the black [izhin] of Night [t'éé'] in the north [náhooks], and the Wind [ních'i]. This group, plus some unspecified others, were the group who emerged from the underworld into this world in the Emergence and who held the first Blessingway [Hózhójí] ceremony on the rim of the Emergence lake. They built the first hooghan and thereby established the properly built and consecrated hooghan as the site for all future ceremonies and as "the place home" for the Navajo.


First Man [Átsé hastiin], with the aid of his medicine bundle [jish], then created this world. After the first hooghan he placed the sacred mountains [Dzi Dadiyinígíí] and they were given diyin diné as their "inner forms" which amimated them. The plants [nanise'] were created and diyin diné were made to animate them. Corn [naad'] was given an especially important position. The same occurred for the animals [naaldlooshii nídaaldzidígíí], the clouds [k'os], water [tó], the thunder clouds [k'osdihi] that make male rain [níts bik'] and the clouds [k'os] that make female rain [níts bi'áád]. So Blessingway [Hózhójí] today describes the creation of this world by First Man [Átsé hastiin].


The older studies separate the diyin diné into good and evil beings or forces, placing many powerful diyinii, including First Man [Átsé hastiin], in the evil group, He is placed there apparently due to a later conflict with his "daughter," Changing Woman [Asdz nádleehé] over the possession of his medicine bundle [jish]. Changing Woman [Asdz nádleehé] is viewed as the source of all good for the Navajo. The recent work of McNeley and especially, Farella, take issue with this view. In particular, for Farella, First Man [Átsé hastiin] represents the distillation of what it means to be diyin.


"The essence of diyin is knowledge and, in a way, wisdom. In particular, this is knowledge of the future which enables you to predict and at the same time create, or at a minimum appear to create, future events. As already noted, such knowledge or such an ability is not an inherent feature of diyinii; it is something that is achieved ritually. Thus, if one wants knowledge of the future, he employs a divination ritual; if one of diyin diné wants to create something, he uses [Hózhójí] (or another ritual). First Man does this as do the other diyinii. And it is the same thing that earth-surface people do today in the same circumstances. First Man is exceptional only in the completeness of his knowledge; everything that came after him, everything that is known about today was known and, if not created, at least allowed by Átsé Hastiin."


These newer studies view the diyinii as representing a continuum of knowledge, and therefore power, along which the earth-surface people are also situated. The goal of the earth-surface people, by aiming for knowledge gained over a long and happy lifetime is to join the diyinii at the end of their lives. This is reflected in the fact that death at an early age is viewed with such dismay by the Navajo. A hooghan in which such a death has taken place must be abandoned and sealed with a hole left for the ghost or wind to leave. These ghosts or winds are thought to wander in the area and to be a possible source of witchcraft. However, a death occurring in a hooghan after a long and happy life is no threat to the peacefulness of the household and the windspirit if the person will undertake his trip of four [d'] days to the next word where he joins the diyinii.
