A point:
Old enough to have Courage
Young enough to have Curiosity
I have come to know along this long Life Path of mine there is no set timing on your Life Journey for this concept to happen in an individuals Life. Often I have seen fellow Human Beings struggle with happenings in their lives because they have not connected with their Courage and Curiosity. Young or Old has nothing to due with meeting this face on, fulfill your inner desires.
For me, my age being three seasons (Years). The Curiosity about the Mountains that surrounded this small valley that was my home. The Courage to step forward to explore my Mountains and experience them and their inhabitants. Yes there were creatures within my Mountains that could have caused harm even unto death for a small Boy as I was at three seasons.
The Curiosity was stronger than any fears that may have entered my mind and as a Child without the knowledge of Courage. Only a deep inner feeling I needed to explore and satisfy the strength of this Curiosity at the time being overwhelming.
At the age of three seasons not truly understanding nor comprehending the words only to come to know their meanings later in life. Yet this action as a Child set me upon a Life Path that my Curiosity about all things was never blocked because of the lack of Courage.
I believe, no matter one's age, Curiosity is a beautiful Human Treat. I pray every Human Being will find this Point of connecting to two, Courage and Curiosity as I did as a Boy of three seasons.
The beauty of this concept will gift to you a fulfilling Life.

An Overwhelming Gift
The Gift: My Son Jorge, his first day.
His Life Story begins in the modern time, July 4, 1972; ending August 12, 1989.
Before the Doctors wheeled Ruth, soon to be Jorge's Mother into the birthing room I spoke with the Doctor. I insisted that he nor any of his staff "NOT to slap the Child on the butt to make him cry", in their concept to start his breathing. For me, that is no way for any Human Being to start Life, with pain. Why these so called educated Doctors have not learned, a gentle hand rubbing the chest or back of the Child will accomplish the same thing. In my eyes, the first feeling experience of a new born should not be pain. I was very adamant about this even when I received looks as if I were crazy. I was told the next day by a Nurse that was caring for Jorge and his Mother, instead of crying out because of a slap she told me she rubbed his chest as I requested. The Child started waving his arms and kicking his legs making Baby sounds and normal breathing. For me as I saw it, a gentler way to ease into Life. I was told the Child was small, five pounds, five ounces. He was a full term Baby and there were no apparent health problems. My Whole Being was overwhelmed with joy and thankfulness on receiving this news. Small does not mean unhealthy!
After a night of struggling and pain by his Mother the birth came about two thirty in the morning; it had been a difficult birth. After about an hour I was escorted into his Mothers' room. Her struggles were apparent; I could see she was completely exhausted, taking hold of my hand her grip was very weak. Lying beside her wrapped in a white blanket, all I could see was a part of his beautiful little face and dark eyes. As I reach out to move the blanket to get a better look at my Son he griped my index finger, I being surprised by the strength of his grip; after all he was only about two hours old. He was looking me in my eyes and yet I do know at that age he had not achieved the ability to focus. This being my first overwhelming encounter with my Son. I do believe all Fathers experience these emotional feeling when first seeing their new born Child, at least I believe they should! A beautiful new Life!
Within minutes his Mother was sleeping and I knew there were Cultural Ceremonies to be performed. We are now living thousands of miles away from My People thus no Clan Mothers, as is the Tradition of My People to do the Birth Ceremony, I knew I was the one who must do the required Cultural Birth Ceremony. I look around, in the hallway was a cart piled high with Baby Blankets, taking one I wrap it around my Son, picking him up and walked from the room. I knew I needed to be in an area of "Nature" and the ability to see the Eastern Mountains as the Sun appears to fulfill this very important Native Ceremony at the time of his first Sun rise. At this time in the morning there were few People in the Hospital. I carry him, wrapped snuggly in the two blankets down the hall. As I reached the front desk a young lady looked up at me, without a word turned back to her paperwork. We walked out the front door, I being surprised how easy it was and thinking someone would stop me at any moment. I do believe it was a very tense moment, with a sigh of relief hurriedly walking to my car in the pre-dawn hours.
We are in the middle of the sprawling Los Angeles area of California and finding as area with a Natural Setting and a view of the Eastern Mountains within this city is few, no time to drive to the Mountains before Grandfather Sun appears over the distant San Gabriel Mountains. I knew of a place called, The Whittier Straights. This being for flood control and a sanctuary for migrating Birds with many trees and a small lake called Legg Lake. When one is inside this small park the trees block all the surrounding housing yet one can see the distant Mountains to the East. Not the perfect spot but because of the timing and our location it was the best I could find. It would be acceptable!
Taking my Son from the car and finding a spot within this park where I could see the Mountains above the trees, I face East in anticipation of the arrival of Grandfather Sun. The dawning was approaching, long yellow clouds spread out over the sky reflecting in the small Lake. Birds with their songs greeting the new dawning and Ducks upon the small Lake, truly a beautiful place within this sprawling city for a Traditional Birth Ceremony for my Som.
As Grandfather Sun appears above the Eastern Mountains, I remove the blankets and lift my Son with both hands above my head and offer him up to Creator and the Universe with our Traditional Birth Prayer. I become overwhelmed with emotions because of this beautiful Ceremony, the beauty of this small park and lake and most of all to hold this beautiful New Child in my hands. To feel his little heart beating, to feel him breathing, praying him a good and happy Life as tears of overwhelming joy came over me. We sat for a long time, me holding his little body, his small arms waving and much kicking of his legs making his Baby noises, truly a proud and joyful moment for me. I was not thinking of any consequences for my act of taking the Child from the hospital. Only thinking of the Love I felt for this new little Human Being, my Son.
Arriving back at the hospital there was much going on with Police cars at the entrance, I am thinking, what is all this fuss about! As we came through the door a Nurse screams, "There he is"! A police officer pulled his weapon and sternly said, "Give the Child to the Nurse"! I said, "NO! He is my Son"! Two more officers came with guns drawn; I was told very sternly, "Hand over the Child"! I then got to thinking, because of their over reacting and I did not want any harm to come to the Child, I handed my Son to an officer. Two of the officers were really over reacting and did not want to hear anything I had to say. I looked to the young Hispanic Officer who was not holding a gun pointed at me and he took me to the side with a Doctor, they listened to my side of the story. I was explaining my reasoning for removing my Son from the hospital, my traditions, the required Ceremony and how could this hospital allow me to just walk out the door with a Child, did they not have any security should someone come and take a Child that was not theirs? The Doctor telling me I should have spoken to someone before removing the Child. I explained how I did it and the young lady and no others being around and that the Sun waits for no one. They were satisfied, I was told by the Doctor, "Do not take the Child out of the hospital again without telling someone". I told them, "There would be no need; the Cultural obligation had been fulfilled and I would not try to take him again until they had released his Mother and him". Jorge did not hear this Birth Story of his first day until we spoke of it when he was age seven. Jorge told me it was a great Story and was happy the Police did not shoot me.
My beautiful Son, the love and happiness he brought into my life during his very shot Life. He being taken from me at seventeen years, a horrific train accident while traveling in Mexico.
His Life Story begins in the modern time, July 4, 1972; ending August 12, 1989.

It has been more than two years that I have posted to my blog, this due to medical problems. I am not looking for any kind of sympathy only stating a fact. I have and I will survive! I know one day I will be called to make the journey into the World of Spirit. In my mind I do believe this will be the greatest adventure for Man, I welcome it with eyes and arms wide open to embrace this experience, the unknown!
My life as a Physical Being has always gifted me Wonder, much Happiness and some Pain. One's Happiness and Pain are experienced by all Human Being thus gifting you Balance in your Life. My thoughts; If one is happy all the time they could not know it, sadness or pain is required in one's Life to gift to you a reference. Only then can you truly know you have experienced happiness.
To the People who has or will be reading my Blog, I am Honored!
Now to get my thoughts together and soon to post these thoughts and my Cultural Teachings and Pray in some way someone will fine Inspiration, have a smile or just read something you consider interesting.
As I will always say, Your Choice, Choice, a gift to us Humans at Birth.

The Cries of Mankind
A statement by The Grandfather at the beginning of a Teaching: "The Lesson is Timely, Little Brother, because the Cries of Mandkind now is everywhere".
All that day, this statement of The Grandfather, was heavy on my mind. As The Grandfather often did, make statements he wanted me to think about and try to come to my own conclusions, yet he was always there to help me in my puzzlements.
That evening The Grandfather and I were sitting under the Apple Tree in my Grandmothers yard. The Sun was nearing the Western Mountains, The Grandfather spoke.
"Little Brother, I can see there is something heavy in your thoughts".
"Grandfather", I asked. "What is the meaning of, The cries of Mankind now is everywhere?"
Before I relate to you The Grandfather's Story, I must tell you, I have had to add onto this Story to bring it up to the Twenty First Century. The STORY did not change, only TIME has changed.
This Story from my People, "The Riddle of Man", had its beginnings in the mid-thirteen hundreds, upon the arrival of the Europeans. It was many Seasons (years) before these European People arrived in our Lands. We had heard the Stories about these People long before ever seeing them. My People traded with the Mohegan Peoples on the Eastern side of what is today called, the Hudson River. Through different Nations trading with each other (meterial things and Stories) occurrences that were happening with the Peoples in distant Lands were passed on.
The Stories of how these New Peoples took and took from the Native Peoples, they never asked. They just TOOK! They berated, nor acknowledged our Spiritiually, saying their Christian God was the only true God. Yet it was easy for the People to "see", in a colloquial manner of speaking, their words did not reflect their actions.
Generation after Generation, the Cries of Mankind was screaming in our ears.
At the time The Grandfather was telling me this Teaching Story, the Year 1943; the whole World was in turmoil. Hitler and Japan, the Second World War. The turmoil, destruction and the slaughter of many different Peoples and Nations was World wide.
With each Generation the Cries of Mankind were never heard. The so called Indian Wars, the Revolutionary War, the French/Indian War, the removal of all Native Peoples East of the Appalachian Mountains. Thus theTrail of Tears, this experienced by the Cherokee Peoples. The Europeans pushing into the West, displacing Peoples from theirLands. Having no thought, regard or consideration for the Peoples who had lived on that Land for Generations. JUST TAKE! The Civil War, this War between the States, Brother killing Brother.
It would take volumes to relate here all of the Cries of the Native Peoples of these Lands called the Americas and other Pepoles World wide. The Cries of Mankind!
How sad this Human Race. Historically measuring our Time by Wars. With statements like, post or pre World War Two and all of the other Wars.
The Generation of the Spanish/American War, the Generation of the First World War. (the War that was SUPPOSED to end all Wars) The Generation of the Second World War, (my generation) the Generation of the Korean Conflict, (also my Generation, never declaired a War yet people died, a Policing Action) the Generation of the Viet Nam War (also my Generation) and the many smaller conflicts and Wars happening all over this Earth.
With each Generation bringing greater destructive Weapons into the fray, to the point, NOW our Weapons could destroy all of Mankind as well as all Life on this Earth.
Now we have a Generation involved in two Wars with the possibility of Iran and North Korea starting more conflict. Truly. throughout time, Generation after Generation the Cries of all Peoples , the Cries of Mankind, have been great, yet falling on deft ears.
One Man Crying out in the Night, the Universal Energy Hears, as for Man, their Arrogance, their Greed, their need for Power, their Brutality, their Self Importance and their Uncaring Ways will always cause Mayham, War, until they truly Hear the Cries of Mankind and respond to it. Religious Wars are truly an oxymoron. Religion is not a Physical thing, it is a Mental thing. How can one "sin" against a thought? Yet Men uses their Religious Concepts to cause World wide pain and destruction.
We as Human Beings need to look to the World of Nature and heed its example and Teachings. After all, we are but another entity upon this Planet we call Earth. No other entity on Earth causes the destruction of Their Habitat, this Earth, as we Human Beings do. Will Man never Learn, This Earth does not need Man, Man needs this Earth! In the future when Man is on the Brink of Extinction, by their own hand, they may look back and see their errors and finally Hear the Cries of the Generations, the Cries of Mankind.
TOO LATE!
Man, just another species Eliminated from this Universe, by our own doing. We as the Human Race, nothing more than a flashing moment in Universal Time. Universal Time being measured in the billions of Years, the Time of Man, individually, measured in decasdes. Are we already too late to change our Ways? Can Man never Hear the Cries of Mankind?
THINK ABOUT IT!
Turly, really think about it, or not Survive!

Faith Healing
I seem, lately, to be commenting on the ‘news of today’ rather than Culture Concepts. Yet much of what is happening in this twenty first century shows how my Ancestors had a more informative and reasoning ‘mind set’ when it comes to Life Circumstance, as was my Teachings as a Child.
Shocked is really not a strong enough word, as I read what has happened in the state of Oregon. Parents allowing there teenage son to pass in the World of Spirit, Death, if you do not truly understand the passing of an individual from the Physical Word into the Spiritual Word. The parents, the ones given this Gift of a Child, have allowed this to happen due to their faith and irresponsibility.
Do not get me wrong, I also have faith, a strong faith in a much greater entity than ‘Man’. In my Culture this greater entity is called Creator. What ever the word you may use in your Culture, you’re Teachings. God, Allah or the many other names different Teachings use. After all, are we not speaking of the same omnipresent entity?
I do not write today about religion, I sent this message because of injustice and abhorrent actions of parents and the consequence.
Once again I say Humans of this twenty first century do not learn from Life Lessons. Not to long ago their fifteen month old Granddaughter had passed to the World of Spirit due to their Faith and non-action. Why could they not see or understand there are people that have been trained to help, Doctors.
Now for the second time in their lives, due to non-action, they have allowed their sixteen year old son to also join the Spirits due to their ignorance.
Why, in this twenty first Century, Humans can not understand, Life Lessons are placed along your Life Path for a purpose, to learn! Should you not Learn from these Lessons, they will repeat until the Lesson has been learned.
The saddest part of this Story, the parents will only receive sixteen to eighteen months of incarceration or even probation. I ask, is that justice?
Two deaths, two Children, their punishment does not equate to the crime. Crime, yes it truly is because of their irresponsible inactions.
Who knows what their lives may have been as these Children entered adulthood. To reach a time in their lives when they could make their own Choices, removed form the pressures and teachings of the parents.
How sad is a Society, where parents and teachers force concepts and perceptions upon the Child, and they are not allowed to Question and form their own concepts and perceptions. How sad is a Society that allow Humans, no these people should not be considered ‘human’, allow such a lite consequence for their actions.
How sad indeed!
I am but one voice crying out in this universe, yet this Society of the twenty first century remains silent to such injustices. I do believe ‘faith’ is an important aspect of the Human Condition yet then there are those that carry the concept to extremes, even unto Death.
Faith Healing?

Evangelism
Once again there are actions going on that take advantage of Human Beings in desperate need. This being the same actions taken against my Ancestors, in the name of God.
I will start by says, I know many people may have anger upon reading this blog. I do believe these will be the people who blindly follow a Concept or Perception forced upon them as Children. Not being allowed to form THEIR OWN Opinions, Perceptions or Concepts. I have never tried to force my Beliefs upon another Human Being, so why does the Arrogance of others think they have the Right to Force their Beliefs upon another, especially when they are in great need. After all, Religious Beliefs are nothing more than a thought, a Mental Concept.
This day I am shocked at a News headline, “After Quake, Evangelists find an Opportunity”. (Not the opportunity to fulfill their physical needs but to spread their Religious concepts) I am speaking of the Natural Phenomena, considered a disaster in Haiti. With quoits like, “Out of Tragedy, there is Opportunity”, “But Evangelism underlies the Mission of Mercy” or “They do not reject God, they just feel God is too far away”.
How sad this Society of the twenty first century.
The People of Haiti need help, like food, water and medical aid, not religious fanaticism. Yes people will come, not because they have a need for your Religious Teachings, because they are hungry, thirsty or in a need to end their suffering. Yet you put restrictions on your Giving. That is not my Culture Teachings. My Teachings, you give with a Good Heart and Spirit nothing Attached, no Obligations placed upon the recipient.
Many Stories from many Cultures of the Native American Peoples where deception and finding people in need were coerced into accepting a Religion that was filled with mistrust and incomprehensible to our way of Life. I do believe that the truth of these Religions do not Teach, untruths, deceptions and coercion of people in a disastrous situation. Yet these fanatical Religious people SING their own praise, yet at what cost to the Spirit and wellbeing of the people they claim to be so generous towards.
Stories from the past you will not fined in any history book:
A Clergyman set out to teach a Tribe, farming. He took potatoes and cut them into small pieces, some with the eye on the potato that allows a new plant to grow, some without. When he passed out the potato pieces to the people, the people who had converted to his Christian Teaching were given the pieces with the eyes. The pieces without eyes were given to the people who had not accepted his God. After a few weeks the potato plants started to grow but only the one with the eyes, the others rotted in the ground. When the people who were given the pieces without eyes asked, "why are our potatoes not growing", his response was, "because you do not believe in my God".
Another Tribe held very strongly to their Ancestral Teaching, rejecting the Teachings of the Clergyman. His response to the people was, ‘In three days my God will take a bite out of your Moon’. The Clergyman had prior knowledge of a lunar eclipse, thus causing fear among the people.
Deceptions, lies. Truly, are these the Religious Teachings of the Euro-Americans?
What has happened in Haiti is a Natural phenomenon; the Earth is a Living thing, ever changing, with events we as Human Being see as disasters. Yet we never learn. These Lessons have been placed before us in the past. We as Humans have no control over the devastation these Natural Happenings cause. Still we have the knowledge these things will continue when we construct our buildings we do not factor in these Natural Effects.
When will us Human Beings Learn we must live WITH Nature and build our lives with this in mind.
Yet we evolve, we take advantage of other peoples pain, forcing upon them a ‘Religious Concept’ in order for them to receive the help they need. Help without restrictions, without obligations should be the RIGHT thing to do, how sad this Human Race has become.
The concept in my Culture; ‘there should be no strings attached’! As I was taught, as a Child in my Cultural Teachings.

I will start by says, I know many people may have anger upon reading this blog. I do believe these will be the people who blindly follow a Concept or Perception forced upon them as Children. Not being allowed to form THEIR OWN Opinions, Perceptions or Concepts. I have never tried to force my Beliefs upon another Human Being, so why does the Arrogance of others think they have the Right to Force their Beliefs upon another, especially when they are in great need. After all, Religious Beliefs are nothing more than a thought, a Mental Concept.
This day I am shocked at a News headline, “After Quake, Evangelists find an Opportunity”. (Not the opportunity to fulfill their physical needs but to spread their Religious concepts) I am speaking of the Natural Phenomena, considered a disaster in Haiti. With quoits like, “Out of Tragedy, there is Opportunity”, “But Evangelism underlies the Mission of Mercy” or “They do not reject God, they just feel God is too far away”.
How sad this Society of the twenty first century.
The People of Haiti need help, like food, water and medical aid, not religious fanaticism. Yes people will come, not because they have a need for your Religious Teachings, because they are hungry, thirsty or in a need to end their suffering. Yet you put restrictions on your Giving. That is not my Culture Teachings. My Teachings, you give with a Good Heart and Spirit nothing Attached, no Obligations placed upon the recipient.
Many Stories from many Cultures of the Native American Peoples where deception and finding people in need were coerced into accepting a Religion that was filled with mistrust and incomprehensible to our way of Life. I do believe that the truth of these Religions do not Teach, untruths, deceptions and coercion of people in a disastrous situation. Yet these fanatical Religious people SING their own praise, yet at what cost to the Spirit and wellbeing of the people they claim to be so generous towards.

Wolves
How amazing this Twenty First Century, with this thing called “The Internet”, instant communication. For a person with a Thirteenth Century Mind Set, it is truly an amazing thing. Everyone has a “Mind Set”, this being your Teachings as a Child. Being honest with ones’ self, all of the things thought to you as a Child where you were not allowed to question, even within your Being you knew there had to other options, other concepts, they were forced upon you and linger throughout your life, causing a “Mind Set”. Yet adults tell you NO, IT IS THIS WAY, you are WRONG. How sad these Children of the Twentieth and Twenty First Centuries that are not allowed to question Concepts and Opinions of the adults that were given the Privilege and Honor to Educate the Child. When in Actually and Reality, Opinions and Concepts are neither right nor wrong, just one Individuals’ out look.
This you may be thinking, “What does that have to do with Wolves?” This, so as, to let the Reader know, I am not of a Mind Set of this Century, I was allowed to Question and form my own Opinions and Concepts as a Child, with guidance, not firm discipline as to Conceptual Rights and Wrongs.
It may be many of you read a thing on the Internet today called, “Save the ‘Twilight’ Wolves”. The thinking of the Society of today, here is a very important Fact of Nature, an important question, an important out-come, and yet the writer equates it to and interfaces it with Fiction.
The State of Washington is “debating”, should the Wolves that are returning to the Washington’s Olympic Peninsula be exterminated. In the 1800s an extensive Wolf extermination campaign eliminated the species in that area and many other areas in what is known today as The United States of America. Now after more than a hundred years the Wolves are slowly returning to this area. Have we as the Human Race not learned past Lessons? The pray Animals cause a Balance within Nature, keeping in check, the over population of other creatures that can be very destructive, due to greater numbers thus destroying their habitat. In turn also having an effect upon us Human Beings.
As a Boy in my Mountains of northern New York State, as it is known today, there were no Wolves. This being due to the fact the Euro-Americans had exterminated them prior to the Twentieth Century, out of Fear. As the Europeans moved into our Lands they brought with them the fantasies and fears of the Wolf with them. Their Stories of Werewolves, a fiction, wrought out of fear and fabrication of some kind of Mythical man eating Animal.
I will agree Wolves will attack and consume domesticated Animals, yet we as Human Beings have the intelligence to safeguard our domesticated Animals. This occurs when we over hunt and kill the Animals that are the Natural Pray of the Wolf, hunting no longer out of NEED, but for SPORT. We as Human Beings upon this Earth are liken to a virus, consuming all that Nature has placed here for all of its inhabitants. We as Human Being in this Twenty First Century and the prior Century consume our Natural resources, not out of NEED but out of WANT and GREED.
As I read the comments following this Internet posting I was pleased to read, out of the twenty one comments, eighteen were for allowing the Wolf to reenter its’ Natural Habitat. Two stated they should be “relocated”. How sad for them. When Governments come across something that they perceive as an Obstacle or Fears, just relocate them, as they did with the Original Peoples of this Land. How sad that the Peoples of this Country have Learned nothing in the past six hundred years. One comment suggested allowing the Wolves but eliminate the Bear. Damn!
I am sure the majority of the People reading this article on the Internet will be distracted from the Real Issue, the Wolves, and focus on the advertisement for a fictional Movie called “New Moon”. This may be an interesting exciting movie, yet it is fictional, for entertainment, or will it allow the Old Fears be brought forward and the Wolves be eliminated due to the old Fears?
We as Human Beings no longer see ourselves as “a Part of Nature”, we see ourselves “as above it”, “superior”, when in Actuality, how can Man Survive without looking out for all of the entities of this Earth? Honor their existence, bring this Earth back to its’ Natural Self with all of its’ Beings intact.
Wolves, a necessity for the survival of all Beings. Think about it!
