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.

True Warriorship



True warriorship is not aggression, but bravery, or one who is brave. Sometimes it is described as fearlessness. The north American Indians had such a tradition of human bravery. The Japanese ideal of the samurai also represented a warrior tradition of wisdom. Our planet has many fine examples of true warriorship. This true warriorship means not being afraid of who you are. Not being afraid of yourself. In the face of world problems we can be heroic and kind at the same time. When we are afraid of ourselves and afraid of the seeming threat the world presents, then we become extremely selfish. We want to build or own little cocoons, so that we can live by ourselves in a secure way. We must try to think how we can help the world. If we don't nobody will. You don't have to rush out and try to be president, but you can start helping your relatives and friends and the people around you. The important point to realize is that you are never off duty.
