Warrior Sunrise

Walk the ground lookig down at each step. Loose the forward sight of the sunrise. Feel the walls to assure it is safe. Loose the excitement of chance valor. When we use the senses to underscore our safety, we might live longer, but is that a life to envy? It is far better to see a sunrise and trip... Sign in to see full entry.

The Star on the Top

I cut the tree as harvest to Unakas' day of cheer and celebration; because, you said you wanted to be the more merry in the light of their customs than our own. It is a noble gesture to mime such doings and dealings. The Unakas had been friendly spirited in days gone by, but as days went by, and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Transfer of Engergy

It is good to visit with the old ones, even when your heart is filled with the briht, brash glow of youth. You may think you can learn from them; but, despite that old agade about age and experience, it is important to be with them to transfer your energy to their limbs and hearts, so they can...

Life on the Edge

Far more people live at the edge of the forest, than in it. They fear the dark or the spirits or the furry forms that swell therein. I for onelove it best of all. There is a definite freedom there to be close to the boughs of nature, strong and unfiltered, letting loose of the buttons and shoe... Sign in to see full entry.

A Matter for the Buckskins

She touched my heart in the summer sun. It was then I knew she was the one for me. But, these things take care and palnning. I asked my brother for his buckskins so I could go and court her. At first he hit me with his long spear and laughed at me. He said my penis was too short to do any damage and... Sign in to see full entry.

Creation

There are some days the world seams mad, the sky is falling and no matter how hard a warrior tries, he cannot undo it or prevent it. Then comes the blame and self doubt. We shake our medicine pouches and wonder why our mothers omitted the ingredients that would have helped. We shout to the sky that... Sign in to see full entry.

Sink Holes for the White Ones

We build our houses strong to hold out wind and rain. We make sure the roof is high to give us relief from heat. We waddle the eaves, to assure strong rafters. But no matter how high, strong or safe it seams, the Unakes meddle telling me I must pay a tax, or move along, or need to fence things in.... Sign in to see full entry.

Homeric Design

When I lost vision in my right eye, I asked my left eye "Are you up to the job?" Often, I would focus with good leftee on bits of text, a swatch of color or the clock -thinking, "Can I see better? Stay with me good friend sight." Obsessed with this, I nearly went mad for the want of clarity -... Sign in to see full entry.

Shooting Stars

Across the wide expanse of heaven, the shooting stars light my path to my father's house. There, with the lessons taught, the emotion felt and the wonder of the burning hearth, I fill my quiver and lash my spear, thinking of the quarry I mean to catch when I finish feasting on bird and bear.
