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.

The wandering Taoist








The wandering Taoist is a story by Ming-Dao Deng about the Martial arts and Taoist master Kwan Saihung. Kwan Saihung received his training in the monastery of Huashan, High in the mountains of China. A place where the Taoist philosophy of life, which includes a following of "The Way" or Tao (pronounced Dao) is taught. This includes the precepts of longevity, the internal exercise of QiGong, and other disciplines such as Healing through acupuncture, Herbs and chi or internal energy. I highly recommend this book along with others written by the same author as an introduction to Taoist thought. The story of Kwan Saihung is a fascinating mystical journey, which can inspire one to live their life in a different way. I have included some photos of the Monastery and the actual places described in this novel, and of Kwan Saihung who believe it or not was born in 1920. He later immigrated to New york where he taught his arts to certain students including Ming-Dao Deng. To gaze at these pictures is healing and spiritually uplifting.
