Saugh-he, along my walk for my quest of the sacred path of Creator and Earth Mothers understanding of the old ways, I felt it had not brought many earthly fortunes.

I now have love in my life and the joy of laughter from my wife and the many animals that chose to stay close to our lodge, in the sky nation and on the ground that has became very sacred to my wife and me <>

There has also been many test of faith, patience and discipline on my quest for the understanding of the old ways <> Finding the path that would help me with my control, suffering, temptations, sickness, death and the many false accusations that have been taken from my peaceful world, that my grandpa had showed to me as a young boy <>

With my quest for the understanding of the old ways, I have had to start over many times <> I have struggled with many temptations and many times I have started to just quit <> Creator or Earth Mother or both, always had assembled for me a medicine bag of understanding, with the strength that would keep my head above all water from my own darkness and I would start my quest of the understanding again <>

I have spent many days and nights in silence and prayer, seeking help and guidance for my understanding <> I have been often mocked and exposed to much laughter <> Some I seen and some came at a later time, as the surprise of a hunters bullet hitting a Deer, as he is peacefully walking along its path, in quest of a sacred place to drank and rest <> I remained firm without yielding to my quest of drinking from the sacred waters of Creator and Earth Mothers understanding <> And as the Deer, I will step around or jump over the darkness that lies on my path, avoiding it’s lack of understanding of the sacred way <>

Each time my prayers go up with the smoke for help and guidance on my quest, they find their way to Creator and Earth Mother <> I ask for the strength not to melt within my skin from the hunters bullet's of fire and the judgmental gazes and words of those who unfairly have judged me and at the same time speak that they are my friend <>

Now, that I have faced many truths and bullets of fire of understanding, as was given to me from Creator and Earth Mother along my quest for the spring water I need <> I have found as the Deer my quest and path to walk in life was what it was and I had to accept it for what it is and all the bullets of fire that will come with it <>

I now get up each morning a bit slower, as I gather my many combined squares of life and have found that the sacred water of my quest, has been in my tea glass or coffee cup all along <>

I wait and ponder on yesterdays fire and soon to greet Creators' morning light with awe, as my grandpa had taught to me many years ago <> I see and feel one more time the gift of Creator and Earth Mothers breath of air and that I have one more chance of walking and giving it my all <> I look around at this moment of peace that stares back at me and watch as my earthly fortune starts to come alive.

Then, I look upon this reversible tapestry that was once my quest <> As the morning light floods the many small holes of yesterdays darkness in front of me, creating once again this free image of Earth Mother and the many springs of hope, that stands by her side <>

Then Creator with all his strength and beauty stands before me <> The warmth of the Sun speaks peace through my hollow bones with gentle feeling of understanding as yesterdays fire has long burn out <>

A message of feeling flows through my hollow bones as Creators understanding of what has been my quest of the old ways and my earthly fortunes <>

All creation around me speaks to me, "Every time you gave, it became our life, with your hardships and struggles <> Each point of light on your walk, was when you stepped aside and let all creations shine through, until there was more of creations, than there was of you <> And as you walk today with your pain from your quest, always remember that it is creations peace that you allow to shine through, walk with peace.

Creator is Chief,
Grayeagle

It's not the great skill of a teacher that understanding will be achieved; but through the teacher's awareness of their walk with creation and their understanding of Creator and Earth Mother.
