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.

LEAVE THE WAVES BE



LEAVE THE WAVES BE

"If you wish to calm waves,
When you try to make this happen,
they arise all the more.
Likewise, even if you apply antidotes to ideation,
The waves of thoughts will flow out again.

When you just leave them alone,
After awhile the waves of water will subside.
Likewise, if you know how to practice at ease, without exertion,
The waves of ideation will naturally be calmed."

~~Every effort we make, all our "doing," only muddies the river of
our minds, causing more turbulence.
The more we let each thought that arises just be, however it is, the
sooner our minds will be calm.
Of course, this is harder than it seems. When we have a "problem,"
physical or emotional distress, or are the so-called victim of
someone else's action, the urge to think about these is very strong.
But we know that every thought about our problem, EVERY thought, only
prevents the problem from resolving spontaneously.

This is the joy and magic of mindfulness. Our just watching whatever
arises in our mind, without judgment, OR action, brings us to a place
of quiet and calm. And this place, rather than being listless, is
full of energy, Alive! powerful, Clear, Lucid, with a quiet bliss.
Then, whatever "needs" to be done, is done right there,
spontaneously, from this bodhisattvic state of Wisdom and Compassion.
