Living up to giving thanks and to those it is meant for

Well this is my 44th year of this thing called Thanksgiving. When I go back as far as I can in my memory I find it a time when I got to see all my ancestors at one point or another from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Irish-French on Mom's side, and Swedish-Germanic on the other. And for some strange reason, the only one besides mom still kickin, is my grandmothers sister, Dorothy. Ever since I can remember, she was the one my minds eye said would out live all, and she has. She was the rock when my dad took the journey. She taught me manners. Thank you. Olive Juice, Dorothy!
Mom...What can I say? Thank you for giving me the path into the world. I do what I can, and will someday give you that mark on the world that you like to see one of us make. I do that only for you. Thank you.
Boy's! If, & when you lay your peep's on this one, remember...I see this world for what it is, and she ain't bad looking. My goal is to make her understand that on a personal level. Imagine. Communicating with the Earth. That is what you 2 have given me. Those thoughts. Thank You!

All of you out there in "The Biz"...I thank you for tolerating me. I know that there is no box I can think outside of, it's more like a plastic bag. I let all of you know what it is and isn't I am thinking. I still follow my herding instincts I developed from generations gone by, and very long ago. Some of you ground me in the history of this dimension, and keep me fluid in knowledge of things that are past. Those are the one's I am drawn to.
Berto, CRC & EARSXXI, Dugsy Do Write, AWNB, Catherine, Alan T., Bella Dona, Phil R., Yanqui, Gene Day, Charlee S., Shabaaz. THANK YOU!
And of course I will not leave out my spiritual development and instructors. These are the ones who showed me that path to speak to the Earth. The one true creature that can save us. For showing me a medicine path, I say WOPILA! WOPILA to Kaya, Grizzly, Roger Fire Man, Slick, Sompnono, Little Bear & all his family, David Swallow and all his Sun Dancers, All those who are still practicing a way that is in balance with the Earth. Thank you.
And for all the living things in the Universe, I say thank you to you things for what you do for all of the other creations in this vast Universe. Thank you for all the elements! The things that make our water and air. Thank you!

And there! I gave my thanks!
Ciao for now, Barn

We must all think as individuals

Here is something to give an individual and applied amount of thought, and more importantly, action to.
Is our world and planet a living thing? An organisim in the vast ocean if the universe?
Something that we as individuals must feel, and communicate with? Treating her with the respect that a child would give it's mother?
Her soil gives us plants, and Her body creates the atmosphere. Kinda looking like we as inhabitants of such an awsome creature, should re-think our priorities and goals in life, so as to be in harmony with Her.

I'm home from Sundance

Hey everyone! I'm home from Sundance, and am ready to take on the huge challenge of PAH FEST: Rockies! I had to get more grounded to be more focused on the things needed to bring Colorado into that PAH Nation fold. There are going to be some changes comming that will help make this PAH FEST a better experience for population of PAH Nation. It'll all be posted here as time goes on.
One of the biggest concerns is going to be the weather. Last year we had one blizzard that dumped a ton of snow here, and then we had our normal snowfall to add to it. I hope this is not the case for PAH FEST: Rockies.
I have been spinning the wheels in the fund raising department, and will have a massive accomplishment to undertake for this important feature.
I am working on bringing different genre to this PAH FEST. There are so many ways to tell the tale, and I want to have some competitions that will demonstrate this. PAH is a story teller, not just a filmmaker. PAH IS a tale in itself. One that is unfolding at an astonishing rate.
Christopher Coppola is a jewel in the spectrum of the human imagination. And when he helps us to become part of the teller of tales he gives us the tools that Douglas Aarne describes in his "I Am" film.
I am inspired to movement, and that movement is PAH.
Get ready Colorado! Once a train begins to roll, it's the engineer that stops it, and I have the throttle in my hands.

Off the Radar....Gladly ;)

Ok, ladies and gents, Ole Barn is dropping out of sight for the next week. It's time for the Sundancers to do that healing dance that was practiced here so many years ago. Back then it was only one place and one Sundance. It was at Devils Tower, Nebraska, and took a very selected few to perform it.
I go to Sundance to learn of a better way, and I receive that instruction there. A very young Lakota Sioux boy once asked his Grandfather why the birds flew. His Grandfather put it so simply..."He remembers his original instruction's."
It is at sun dance I remember mine.
Food for thought kids.
Ciao for now, and till 8/6/07
Mitakuye Oyasin!
