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 resources and Natural disasters

Natural Resources
First I would like to touch on the Natural resources portion of this article. I heard that oil could go up so High that people that drive could end up paying 5 to 8 dollars a gallon at the pump. This will affect other modes of transportation like trucks and trains, people are suffering folks! And guess what? All this shortage of the natural resource of oil, if in fact there is a shortage, is going to have an effect on ever man, women, and child in this country.

Higher prices will prevail in all areas that are on the tail end of this irresponsible occurrence. High food prices occur because the trucks and trains that deliver our food won't be able to. The cost of refrigeration is going up. The cost of anything made of petroleum products is going up. That would include all plastics, plastic containers, etc. which most of our food is packaged in.

This is not a time for the faint hearted. Its is a time for people to rise up. Now I know I have been talking a lot about peaceful revolutions, and Gandhi type protests and sending love. And all these things are still good, but now I am going to change the dynamic a little and partake in the duality. This is just unconscionable and totally uncalled for. As is the situation with the disaster in Burma or Myanmar which I will get to later.

This is about survival of the poor, the elderly, those on fixed incomes, and the general population. When you look at the cost of man's inhumanity to man by the different means that have arisen, people need to do more then just speak out. They need to take matters into their own hands. War and mismanagement, along with greed, seems to be the cause of the critical situation facing us all. The effect from the phony war on terrorism in Iraq and the residual aftermath, might just create chaos in America and in the world at large. I suggest families contact one another and get ready or prepare themselves for the worst. Am I buying into fear tactics being propagated by the powers to be? to quote an ancient oracle "When the wicked are in control the people will suffer"

Natural disasters
The situation in Myanmar puts a lot of things in perspective. Now they are saying that there are a million homeless, and over 100,000 dead. With a greedy Miltary in control that kept aid from getting in and helping those poor souls. Think about that a minute, ONE MILLION people homeless. How many more will die? If there ever was a need for a just war, it would be to go in and clean house on the people holding up the progress of aid and red cross efforts. Yes this was a natural disaster. But its how you handle these things that counts. Then there are the tornado's in the U.S. that have killed 97 already, a record high for this time of year.

Would you say that the planet seems a little unbalanced right now? Is it a reflection of the unbalanced consciousness of the people on Mother earth?
I will leave that for he reader to decide. I hope there is someone out there reading this and passing it on, because that might be the only way my thoughts get to the public. Its is up to each person on this planet to spread the word, so we can form a consensus and consider possible solutions. I haven't been getting a lot of feed back on my writing but I will continue to do it because I care.
