Freedom of speech and peace of mind, trying hard to understand the winds of the world whipping around me, to my next step is another battle I must face, never to slow down I move before I am found. Would you like to join me or sit there for the next hurricane?

''People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts… their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?''(Uchiha Itachi)

''We are humans, not fish. We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think?"(Uchiha Itachi)

"If you don't share someone's pain, you can never understand them. But just because you understand them doesn't mean you can come to an agreement. That's the truth." (Nagato)

"Love breeds sacrifice… which breeds hatred… Then you can know pain."(Nagato)

Soldier's Prayer;

Dear Lord,

There's a young man far from home,called to serve his nation in time of war;sent to defend our freedomon some distant foreign shore.We pray You keep him safe,we pray You keep him strong,we pray You send him safely home ...for he's been away so long.

There's a young woman far from home,serving her nation with pride.Her step is strong, her step is sure, we pray You keep her strong,we pray You send her safely home ...for she's been away too long.

Bless those who await their safe return.

Bless those who mourn the lost.

Bless those who serve this country well, no matter what the cost.

God, Bless America!

Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find money cannot be eaten.-Cree Prophecy

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. "This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. "One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Chief Seattle

"... all things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man ... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports."

I have been to the end of the earth.
I have been to the end of the waters.
I have been to the end of the sky.
I have been to the end of the mountains.
I have found none that are not my friends.

-Navajo proverb

The Medicine wheel has four Direction, each direction offering it's own lessons, color, and animal guide. There are to paths shown which cross in the center, at which point for me is the heart. (for when you work from your heart, you can reach all directions.) The path from East to West is the path of spirits, (the Blue Road) the path from South to North is our physical Walk (the Red Road ).

East - beginnings, purity, family, innocence, amazement of Life
South - youth - passions of life, friendships, self-control
West - Adulthood - solitude, stillness, going inside oneself, reflection
North - Place of the Ancient Ones who have gone over - place of wisdom
Above - Freedom of mind, body, spirit below - Nuturing, Mother, life
