Thank you.
moonsavvy, I do remember. To try to put into words a spiritual journey,hmmm,wow, that's a very difficult thing to do, trying to put it into words, as you know each journey is different, no two are exactly the same because they are for the individual, you have to look within yourself, to explore your inner being to be able to take this journey, let go of all preconceived notions and be able to open your mind to the invisible forces of nature, of mother Earth and beyond and it is all within you. It is a journey of finding ones self, the true spirit within you, once you have taken this journey you will see life in a different perspective, you will see that every living thing is connected through the web of life and that we are just one single strand within that web. It can be frightening, exhilarating, exhausting, exciting and very liberating, but to try to put such a journey into words is almost impossible, there really are no words to describe it, you have to experience it to understand.osay

Thanks for the band aid. (Remember that TV commercial where a little boy says, "Where did my cut go?") Was just driving in the middle of an interstate.

Great Spirit Grandfather, hear my words for wisdom, so that I may open my ears and hear all that is good around me. For I am humbled before you. I seek the strength to continue on this path that I travel on before you in a most sacred manner. Hear my words for they are words that come from the heart, soul and mind, and are filled with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. My words are for you to know and understand that in the most sacred manner I honor and respect the life you have put before me. I seek the strength to forever continue upon this Sacred Path. osay
