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.

Nostalgia / Trains


I'm going to break one of my rules and live in the past for a moment. In fact I may even get melancholy. Here is a picture by one of my favorite Railroad artists David A. Oram. It shows a more relaxed, simple time in America. One of the boys in the picture could very well be me, for I made many journeys to the railroad yard in my youth, to watch the trains. No harsh security measures back then. The workers on the railroad were very friendly, and even gave us a thrill by letting us climb up into the cab. Life was simple and Good. We may have not had all the Hi-tech toys we have now. But happiness back then was going to the train yard, followed up by a nice home cooked meal by Mom when you got home, or maybe a trip to the Dairy Queen.
