I am an artist that sees beauty just about everywhere I go. I love singing, beating rhythms on my hand drum, and truly connecting with nature and individuals who want to share their deepest thoughts, dreams, and emotions with me. I love to laugh, and sometimes I'm just a big kid, who still looks at the world with a sense of wide-eyed wonder. I want to share this enthusiasm for life, beauty, and creativity with others.
the first peace,
which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people
when they realize their relationship,
their oneness with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center of the universe
dwells the Great Spirit,
and that this center
is really everywhere,
it is within each of us.

No talk is ever given without first
indicating your humility. "I am
an ignorant man . . . "--all the talks start this
way. "I don't know nearly as
much as you men sitting around
here, but I would like to offer my
humble opinion . . . "--and then
he'll knock you down with logic
and wisdom.

At certain spiritual events or happenings, it is
possible for the spirits to come. Sometimes
these spirits look like sparklers of light, some-
times you can feel them, sometimes they will
look like live human beings. The spirits always
come for a reason. When we deal with the
spirit world, we need to be patient. The Great
Spirit will tell us the meaning of these hap-
penings when He is ready.
Great Spirit,
let me be
aware of Your
presence.

Life will not fail us if we do not fail it.
It is like a fresh flow from a spring that starts so
strong but puddles in those hard-to-cross places.
We are open to catch debris and easily riled, but we
can cleanse ourselves and move on.
We are life, and we can feed it or starve it.
Regret starves--but peace and rest can restore.
Look at sunlight and shadow playing across the
plains, see the rose-colored patches that lie like
swatches of fabric over the hills. Life is there, stir it
up and give it a place. It is the way of the Tsa la gi.

the holistic approach to the use of
technology for mankind's good.
-Al Qoyawayma, HOPI
The Great Spirit has given us certain values to
live by. If we learn to think in harmony with
these values such as respect, love, patience,
tolerance, commitment, trust, etc., we cannot
get off track. No matter what we do, we will
always be in harmony. For example, if we are
respectful, then we will respect the earth, our
children, our women, our men and ourselves.
Indian values help us walk under the guid-
ance of the Great Spirit.
My Creator,
today I search
for the truth,
Your truth.
Please let me
see it.

"So don't be afraid. What we left behind,
leave it back there. Try to do some good.
Let's try and take a step, try to think
something good."
-Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA
Every day is a new day. Sometimes we make
mistakes. We do not need to carry these mis-
takes along with us. Take the lessons and leave
the mistakes behind. Look forward to today.
Today we can do something good. Today we
can have good thoughts. Today we can think
kind, uplifting thoughts about ourselves. To-
day I will think good about ...
My Creator,
today I ask
You to direct
my thoughts.
