1. Rise with the Sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
4. Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.
5. Do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community, the wilderness or from a culture. If it was not earned or given, it is not yours.
6. Respect all things that are placed upon this earth - whether it be people or plant.
7. Honor other people's thoughts, wishes and words. Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.
8. Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.
9. All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.
10. Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body and spirit. Practice optimism.
11. Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us. They are part of your worldly family.
12. Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.
13. Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain will return to you.
14. Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of one's will.
15. Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual self, Emotional self, and Physical self - all need to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.

lost days
Pondering on my past
When I lived life blazed
Mind was clouded
Dazed in a haze
I miss those times
When the thoughts flowed in and out
It always kept me smiling
Smiling no doubt
Hendrix, Santana
A box of CD’s
Ear covering headphone
Music always set me free
Makin love was the best
Always from the chest
Missin those moments
Glad my mind owns it

Makin love was the best

Missin those moments
Glad my mind owns it
my etch a sketch life
It all begins
when I open my eyes
Mind beings to etch
What visions I sees inside
Many days are the same
Yet the thoughts behind the sketch
Aren’t on the pane
Some days its blank
Others filled with lines
Intersecting dots
Via 24hrs time frame
As I lay down to rest
It slowly begins to erase
The sketch starts a new
I etch another day
when I open my eyes
Mind beings to etch
What visions I sees inside
Many days are the same
Yet the thoughts behind the sketch
Aren’t on the pane
Some days its blank
Others filled with lines
Intersecting dots
Via 24hrs time frame
As I lay down to rest
It slowly begins to erase
The sketch starts a new
I etch another day
kindness
I met a man
Whom didn’t have much
His house small, door-less,
Wall-less, toilet-less and such
I stopped to buy a mango
And we spent all we had
he asked if I loved pineapples
if I would care for some
Riding in a 40k rental
But no change to spare
He gave it to me for free
With a smile and with care
I cherished that moment
Wondered what happened to the world
Many dont ‘give’
and simply prefer to take
I hope to return
And pay him back
With whatever I have
For his family, himself
In that small shack
I reflect on that often
Day after day
Whats the harm with giving
Simply just giving it away

money
greed never ends
its the sorrow most have
created more problems
that it has ever solved
no matter how much some have
its simply never enough
an un-fillable pocket
wants keep coming in
you become of slave
work for it night and day
"we" have created this 'thing'
a cancer which plagues almost all
giving up our lives for 'more'
afraid to walk out that mental door
leave it all behind
enjoy life for what it is
spend time with loved ones
especially your kids
take long walks
listen to the snow
smell passing roses
see earths galore

sight
love cannot be seen
nor can it be touched
has no smell
its inaudible
it resonates from the soul
radiates endlessly
it does not want
take
hate
punish
it gives endlessly
those whom love know
some fear it
others seek it
why do people need proof
of love?

another rotation
i sleep and i wake
each and every day
my mind
never seems the same
i see things as a whole
not just as a one
atoms to molecules
rain drops
to oceans
a spec of dust
upon my eyelash
a chain of events
as the 1st domino falls
just another passing day
a few heart beats more
that much closer
to my dying day
each and every day

ryme
with this bottle of wine
i might get you off my mind
put all our memories
in the past...
move on with my life
find me a wife
a soul mate
until my final breathe
one to withstand all the tests
lay upon my chest
sad, glad, lost
yet connected
my shimmering light
my voice of reason
through every season
she keeps my heart beatin
knows i'll fuck up
always have my back
face the world
hand in hand
we mate for life
love throughout the night
longing to hold her tight
each day....and each nite

sight
dont look to far ahead
be aware of whats behind
see what comes at you
each and every time
flowers that we pass
breathes that we took
hellos become good byes
as day becomes night
inhale the good
rid yourself of bad
opinions are just opinions
bad is just like good
3 sides to every story
sometimes more
blind with sight
numb to feel
heart still pounds
though nothings real
be aware of whats behind
see what comes at you
each and every time
flowers that we pass
breathes that we took
hellos become good byes
as day becomes night
inhale the good
rid yourself of bad

3 sides to every story
sometimes more
blind with sight
numb to feel
heart still pounds
though nothings real
pain
its amazing what people endure
or the pain they create
such a selfish race
the only on earth with hate
what happened to love
where did it go
its not something we work for
its something physically unshown
its what connects us all
as we are all one
a multiplied equation
over and over till done
society, cultures, religious, cults, groups
mentally mold us
we pass on these teachings
to the little ones that look up to us
man will not change
until the end is in sight
pray we find a way
out of darkness
into the light
or the pain they create
such a selfish race
the only on earth with hate
what happened to love
where did it go
its not something we work for
its something physically unshown
its what connects us all
as we are all one
a multiplied equation
over and over till done
society, cultures, religious, cults, groups
mentally mold us
we pass on these teachings
to the little ones that look up to us
man will not change
until the end is in sight
pray we find a way
out of darkness
into the light
unfolding
as the days pass on
my skin cell wither away
mentally transforming
as i physically decay
i've found true to be refreshing
like my daily night sleeps
reborn every second
time and time again
as i look back
and see what i once was
i wonder how we get so lost
from this mental programming amongst
we never 'own' anything
life is recycle
everything we take in
has to be given back
our time here
is merely a chance
to see how we 'turn out'
to see what we 'become'
we are the saviors
also the destroyers
our time on earth is short
as is everyones before/after us
my skin cell wither away
mentally transforming
as i physically decay
i've found true to be refreshing
like my daily night sleeps
reborn every second
time and time again
as i look back
and see what i once was
i wonder how we get so lost
from this mental programming amongst

POST IT ALL
for those whom follow
and those whom know my name
when my final days in this body come
post this blog
let everyone know my name
people aren't yet ready
for the me and i am
i try to help other
to find their own path
but i dont have their answer
as answers is all they ask
like cheating on a test
refusing to take the time
to walk their own path
and create their own line

feelin down
when the world gets ya down
n ya dont know what to do
start to lose your mind
start feelin kinda blue
then ya start thinkin back
on all the smiles you've had
N ya notice
that it all
really aint all that bad
times can bring ya down
once the mind lets up
you find a smile inside
changes you all up
after that
life is never the same
you see the madness that once was
like a cloud inside your brain
yet the mind hacks in
refusing to give up
the smile shines on
deep from within

limitiations
Ones mind is like a blade of grass
growing on concrete
pushing and trying constantly
to grow beyond its limits
growing on concrete
pushing and trying constantly
to grow beyond its limits
silent eyes
a moment of silence
as our eyes meet
earth stops rotating
heart stops to beat
world seems so quiet
as you draw near
lost in your eyes
soul becomes crystal clear
words aren't spoken
a touch so soft
our lips finally meet
my heart takes off
inside i melt
outside is at peace
mentally gone
emotionally at ease
the things she can do
with just a glace
flustered with heat
frozen in this trance
as our eyes meet
earth stops rotating
heart stops to beat
world seems so quiet
as you draw near
lost in your eyes
soul becomes crystal clear
