ABOUT THUNDERHANDS



About Me: "Wakiya" (Thunder)
I am a Tribal, Musician, Writer, Artist. I try to walk the path and have studied the tradition of the "Wisdom keepers" like Lame Deer, Fools Crow, Black Elk, and Rolling Thunder from the tribes of this region, and Lao Tzu, Buddha, Bodhidharma, Yeshua, and other enlightened ones from the many various tribes of the earth. I understand the worlds religions and belief systems, and realize the division this can cause by the lack of understanding the "real message" from the Masters. My intention, and life's prayer is to try to live in harmony with Grandmother Earth, Grandfather sky, (Nature) and "the spirit that moves in all things," and help in any way I can to build a bridge between all men and tribes so they can walk their path in a manner that will benefit themselves, the Earth and others. I open up, and ask Great Spirit, The creator, The Tao, The Universe, to work and direct healing and positive energy through me by different means, like the Flute, drums, Words, Prayer, and Touch. I try to be loving and accept others from the heart, and practice forgiveness. I honor all people, the winged one's, and four legged ones considering us all equal, not one being above another. I honor the bountiful Harvest from Mother earth in the form of plant life, water, air and herbs which sustain our oneness with her. I pray all tribes should re-unite as one, so we may protect the planet and live in harmony. Within you, without you.

Natural Disasters / Acts of God?


It's ironic that when there is a natural disaster, people say "Oh! that was an act of God." How so, I say? Do you mean that God sits up in the sky and commands nature to wreak havoc?
Whats so funny is, that in the context of nature being one with the "Tao," "Great Spirit," or whatever is a comfortable name for you. It might well be called an act of god, in a natural sense. Not with thought out vengeance, or purposeful harm, but as an act of the planet being herself. Of course mother earth when confronted with pollution, wars, and general destruction of her resources, would react like any living organism, and proceed to correct things.
How this is done, might be revealing itself. Of course there has always been natural occurrences. But when people get in the way, it becomes a disaster. Some things to consider are, over population, and what that population does to remain in harmony with the natural order of things. Balance inside may equal balance outside.
