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.

Trains





Click on above photo's to see a larger version

Ever since I was a little boy I have loved trains. When I was a kid in Phoenix, I would go to the local round house (storage place for locomotives) and actually get to ride in these powerful locomotives. This was due to the good nature of the railroaders back then, who had a soft spot in their hearts for young boys who loved trains. This is something that would be unheard of today. Trains were kind of an escape for me as child. When I was supposed to be at church I opted for going to the train yard instead. This exposure prompted me to start painting trains at an early age, and I actually won an award when I was a young pup, for one of my paintings. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy some of my paintings that I did later in life, and so I have posted some of them above. They are for sale by the way, and if your interested, just e-mail me at apache_research@yahoo.com
