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.

Puzzlin' Evidence


An ancient star cluster has three different groups of stars whose ages appear out-of-sync, as seen by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

Astronomers used Hubble to find the dimmest stars in the NGC 6791 cluster. The cluster's location appears in the Digital Sky Survey image (left image), with a closeup courtesy of Hubble on the stars in question (upper right image). Two of the star populations appear as burned-out white dwarfs (lower right image), with one group (red circles) appearing to be six billion years old and another group (blue circles) appearing just four billion years old. The rest of the cluster’s normal stars are eight billion years old.

The finding puzzles the research team because they assume that stars in the same cluster should have formed roughly at the same time. However, they soon realized that the younger-looking white dwarfs might be paired off in binary star systems, so that the paired stars appear as a brighter, younger single star. That would explain why the different white dwarf groups appear to have different ages, which just leaves the mystery of why the white dwarfs aged slower than the cluster’s normal stars.
