Where Are My Parents?

We were just playing in the field,
my siblings and I,
Just wrestling in the grass
as the sun gave its warmth.

Mother was watching us,
laying peaceful a few feet away.
Always watching the area for
other strangers who come to prey.

Father was hunting and off
for the long day,
As humans had chased all
the food far away.

They came from all sides,
their scent we could all smell.
Mother was up and alert,
ready to protect us well.

Hunters raised their guns
and shots rang out,
As we watched in horror
our beloved Mother fell.

She whispered her love
and gave us the word,
Run for the trees ,
look for Father for he had to have heard.

Into the trees
where he had went,
We ran and ran
looking or a sign of where he went.

We turned around to check
our backs,
Father was racing toward Mother,
not seeing the guns of another hunter.

Another shot rang out
just as he reached his mate,
He fell down beside her,
and knew his fate.

The pups watched in fear
as the hunter left,
They ventured out of the trees
to where their parents had been left.

Alone in the world
with just each other to now,
No parents to teach them
to hunt or live or prowl.

Where are my parents?
Why do they not speak?
They are here cause that's what I see,
the parents we loved laying at our feet...

Nothing Changes

 

  My plight is as old as the stories from our ancestors... Nothing has changed except the surroundings in the world we must live in. Even though we are all just trying to survive on this big continent and provide for our packs in the same manners, we are labeled as dangerous predators.  We only hunt for food, not trophies for our den walls. We hunt to provide meat for our young and our mates. We do not kill for sport but for survival. We would prefer to roam our lands freely but are chased from them often by developers who build homes and resorts upon our hunting grounds and then call us the intruders. In this way, history continues to repeat itself as we once roamed this land freely with the Native Americans who also lost their homes and lands at one time. Now as people hunt us down and kill us for trying to provide for our families,  we are becoming fewer and soon our spirits will roam and haunt the lands that were once ours to never be removed but to taunt those who done us harm and remind them of the wrong they have done.. They will have to live with the face of shame they will one day see in the mirror for even they will realize that we were here by the grace of God and The Great Spirit for a purpose....

A Wolf's Plight

                                                                                                                                                                                               

I see my life as it passes by,

   my life but not mine at all. 

I live for everyone else to abide, 

   and dwell within my soul.

My pack, my loves who live with me, 

   are my life support. 

My outer pack, who lives around me,

   pull me apart it seems for sport.

The woods are my solitude, 

   the wind in the trees my air.

Moonlight strengthens me, 

    and gives me my repair. 

I sing at night a silent prayer,

    Great Spirit hear my call.

Lead us from the ways of ill,

    and give us a greater home. 

One away from those who harm,

    a safe haven in a new land. 

May they not follow me on my path,

    but deal with their own sorrowful hand.

                                               Whtwolf 

I Am Wolf

I am the wolf, a loner at heart.

You are the human, and will rarely if ever see me.
I roam the wilderness forests and
mountains of this earth that we share.

I mate for survival, as you do
and I help my mate raise our pups in the warmth of our den,
nurturing and watching them grow and play,
as you do with your human young.

We run as a pack family,
and our members are as close as those in yours.
When a member is lost, we grieve, but go on,
just as you do.

When I am hungry, I must hunt for myself and my family,
for that is all I know.
There are no stores to cater to my every need.

Some of you have said that I am a killer,
a cold-blooded hunter of death,
but when I kill, it is to feed my family,
and I only take the old, sick, and weak,
who will die regardless.

I don't kill to hang heads for trophies on my walls,
as you do.
Now I am the hunted, by you.

You are afraid of me, because you don't understand me.
You think I am taking from your herds of plenty,
which you advertise to
big game hunters for their tourist dollars.

Yes, you are afraid of me, but I can't hurt you.
You are the one with the power to destroy my kind.

You set your traps to torture me,
and send your helicopters to kill me from the air.
I cannot fight you, for that is not my way
That is yours.

I only want my freedom
to run, live, and sing to the moon.

I will share this earth with you in peace
as long as you let me.

I am the Wolf

I too feel the sadness every time some new development goes up that never gets completed or some one buys up beautiful land , tears up the trees and wildlife then puts up homes and condos that most can not afford, and then the y get angry when the wildlife come around looking for food... Well, what do you expect them to do? Where are they supposed to go? You've put up fancy ass homes, took down theirs and you want to kill them for roaming the land they have walked for God knows how long! Think before you destroy more of our Mother Earth! There are plenty unfinished developments if you must spend money building something. Don't blame the wolves and our creatures for wanting to keep their freedom, just as we want to keep ours...

Wolves Right to Live!

These beautiful creatures are doing their best to survive i a world that is taking over all their habitats. They struggle for their food, their freedom, much like most of the humans in our country at this time. We are all gifts from God ,The Great Spirit, put here upon this Mother Earth for one reason or another. You may not know that reason or care about it, but the reasons are there just the same. Wolves are just as family oriented as we are. They mate for life, love and protect their young, travel great distances to secure safe homes for their families. Please take heed and help protect these beautiful creatures. If they are moving into an area you do not want them in call the right people to help relocate them to a safer area. Killing them is not the answer.

WOLVES AND US

      Wolves are creatures of habit just like we are, or are they? They mate for life, but our divorce rate is rising. They have a leader of their pack who takes care of their pack. He see to their food, shelter, safety, everything they need. Our country is in a shambles because our leader is conflicted with his own beliefs and does not believe in taking care of our citizens first. Most families unfortunately do not have the same values as the wolves either these days because every one is stressing over their own personal well-being instead of the groups. Wolves are struggling for survival because hunters are killing them for their furs or because they are hunting on their property which at one time belonged to the wolves. We need to learn to live together as the wolves do and we need to learn to respect the wolves. They have just as much right as us to live on this earth as we do.

Do not live in the past cause if you do then you will never move ahead to where you are meant to be. The past can eat you up from the inside out unless you let go.... Live free like the wolf and live for today, not yesterday...

About Life..

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”

Speak for Me

"Animals cannot speak, but can you and I not speak for them and represent them? Let us all feel their silent cry of agony and let us all help that cry to be heard in the world."

~Rukmini Devi Arundale
Picture :Silver-Wolf..


Rebecca Latham (painting.)
 

      These beautiful animals are among the many who are in constant danger. They are continually being slaughtered for their furs and for their will to survive in a world where their habitats are slowly disappearing. People are constantly clearing land to build housing communities and gated subdivisions only to abandon the project due to lack of funds. Instead of clearing all the wild life's habitat only to cancel the project, why not start such projects on smaller scales. Preserve what you can of the wildlife and the natural homes of these beautiful creatures. Yes, we need housing for us, but with so many started and unfinished building projects around the world do we really need to start more? Why can't we just finish one that has already been started? Please quit tearing up our environment just because you have the money to do so and help preserve some of the habitats these animals need for their survival. After all, we do depend on the animals as much as they depend on us...

The Cry of the Wolf

By the cover of night,you sing your song to the moon.
Knowing shortly that morning will be there soon.
... Most people think,it's just a howl and a cry.
To me, it's just beautiful music that you sing to the sky.
Loyality to your pack,is to the end.
And your always willing to help one of your friends,
When night falls,you go out for the kill.
It's just for the food and not for the thrill.
You go out with the pack and hunt like men.
Always returning by morning to your den.
Your with your family every moment of the day.
Constantly protecting your pups from the prey.
So next time you howl,sing very loud.
Your a great family man and should be proud.
We all should be like you,giving our family so much love.
So keep on singing your song,to the stars above.

My Posts

      Some of my posts are in my own words and some are the wisdom of others. I try to publish the author of such posts when it is borrow from them and if it is an unknown then I state that as well.. These words in these posts that are borrowed have meaning that has touched my inner spirit and I hope that they help and touch yours as well. Some are from a native American site and others are from site that are fighting to save the great wolves of our world. Both, Indians and wolves , lives and their way of life are in danger of becoming extinct. This is something we must not allow. Fight for the rights of those that are endangered and at risk of losing the heritages. I am of Native American ancestry and am proud to say so. Please enjoy my posts, be they mine or others, and know that our spirits feel all the turmoil from within and knows our needs long before we do.....

Never be Discouraged

When you are tired of it all and nothing seems worth the time and trouble, remember that you feel that way not because you want less life but because you want more of it! Feeling discouraged can be a sign that you want a fuller life, a better quality life.Everyone has felt sick, left out, overcome by age or bad experience. Though we may feel like we're the only ones who have ever felt this way, we're not. Our challenge is not to give in to despair when we're discouraged. Instead, when we reach out and give to others rather than always expecting to receive from them, we begin to find love and respect--both for others as well as for ourselves.Then our discouragement dwindles and doors open that we didn't even know existed.


If a person fell into icy waters during the winter they took off their clothes and rolled in the snow and rubbed his body with it and got warm, Then they forgot it.

Prayer of the Wolf..

Great Spirit watch over me
Through the darkness of the night
As I go to quell my hunger
... Guide me with the moon’s light--


I know that I am hated
By Man deep within his mind
But this world is one of the predator
That is how it was designed

I ask only to be left in peace
So that I may live from day to day
And for room to raise my family
So they may run and feed and play

And when I answer that final lonesome howl
As my ancestors who have gone on before
I hope that I will meet them
At heavens very door


I pray that will be the place
Where man can live at our side
Where the valleys are deep, mountains are high
and the spaces are forever wide


That then he may finally see
That I am his brother and not his foe
for only through losing hatred
May our spirits ever grow

The wolves of the world are in trouble and they need your help. People are destroying them because they feel threatened by them, but it is actually the wolves that are threatened. Their very existence is threatened. They only wish to live on the land and provide for their young just as we do. Just because they are animals does not mean they do not understand survival!! Fight for the wolves and help save a beautiful creature that has just as much right here as we do!!!!!!

My Spirit Soars

My spirit soars to heights unknown,
     a forgotten place hiding just out of reach.
It lifts upward on the wings of the hawk,
     seeking that which was locked away.
My spirit soars to a familiar place
     long forgotten with time,
The heart that I locked away for
     its own protection silently calling.
My spirit soars to the only one
     who has always held my heart unknowingly,
The mate to its soul from
     a time long gone.
My spirit soars to the man who had
      unknowingly stolen my heart,
But now returns to once
      again become its mate.
My spirit soars to the arms
      that hold me tight,
The body that fits to mine
      just right.
My spirit soars to the warmth
      that comes from within
The man who has always been
      my hearts keeper.
My spirit soars to you ...

Choices

Choices. Everyone has choices. Life is all about the choices you make. Where those choices lead you is all up to you. If the choice you made is not taking you where you want to go, then change the direction and make a new choice. We are human and sometimes our choices will lead us into a situation that we do not want, but nothing says we can not correct our mistakes. Even choices made when we are young and think we know everything can lead us down a path that is totally destructible to us, but we can change it. We can move forward from that mistake and hopefully correct the decision that totally screwed up our lives. Once the realization hits that where you are at is not where you want to be, then take that step to try and correct it. It can be done. Sometimes that first step is a very hard one because you do not know what will happen. Will things get worse? Can I fix this mess I am in? Yes, you can. It is not easy. You might get slapped in the face with a reality that what you did also messed up someone else's life to the point they felt they had nothing left either. You might get a response of total contempt because of how bad it affected their life as well, and they can not get over the depth of the hurt you caused them. On the other hand, you may end up with the best thing that has ever happened to you in your entire life. And because of the mistakes made along the way, you will appreciate the second chance at total happiness. Life can be redirected, course can be changed. It just takes you be strong enough to admit that the mistakes were your fault and own up to them. You will become a stronger person for taking that step and making things right. Believe in yourself and then believe in those that hold your heart. Only then will your life be what you hoped it would be all along. Only then will you find that love that totally consumes you to where the only thing important to you is making that person totally happy. Only then will your heart be free to beat as one with your soul mate, for everyone has that one special person who can become your soul mate for life. That one person who means the world to you, the one you want to share everything with. That one who want to share everything with you.      Whtwolf

Please Save Us!

A wolf once roamed the wild,
free to do as she pleased;
Seeking and searching for what
she did not know.
So much had changed over the years,
the woods were smaller,
The food was scarce
and no one from her pack was near.
They had to travel
far and wide,
Just to catch some prey
to feed them the next day.
She searched everywhere
for something more;
A sign of a better way
to lead her pack each day.
As the sun went down
and the moon arose,
She headed back to
feed those that were close.
With head held high
and eyes on the sky,
She prayed to the Great One
"please don't let my pack die".
We are but few,
the proud and strong,
We are but few
to carry on.
The wolf pack is all
thats left,
Thanks to the ranchers and others
who kill but not for our flesh.
They kill for nothing,
they kill for fur,
They kill for sport
and leave us to rot on the dirt.
Our young must see this
and yet they pray,
That you will say
"enough of this and lead the hunters away.

Our World

       As I ponder on the road I have traveled in my life, I have come to the realization that my path could have been very different if I had listened to my inner spirit. This world we live in can be very harsh and unforgiving and we seem to allow it to control us. We give in to the demands of our lives on the premises that we have to have this to survive. Yet, our ancestors had less than we did and they survived just fine. They did not need the objects of our civilization we have now to exist. This world that belonged to others before us was clean and pure in a sense that the Native Americans who lived here lived off the land. They only used what they needed for survival and used it wisely. They respected the land and each other. A tribe not only consisted of many families but in a sense was a family in itself. The ways of the white world that was brought with the first settlers was only the start of the destruction of this world that was once free of chemicals and pollutions that could kill. The diseases they brought would eventually wipe out all but a few of each tribe in this great nation. Civilization is still wiping out the people of this world. In a off chance that they can better our technology or life itself, they are polluting the atmospheres, the waters, and even the ground itself. The builders are destroying the trees, the wildlife, and the sacred grounds of those before us, all in the name of civilization and money. If I had to choose between living with today's technologies or living off the land with my ancestors, I would choose the Native Americans and living off the land. They respected each other and the world they were given. They deserved better than they got. Civilization is just a word, civilized is just a figment of the word. Life is what you make it, your inner spirit is what is given to you at birth to guide you,whether you listen to it or not , it stays there and eventually you will hear it.  

My Love

    As I wondered what life held for me I was thrown back in time to my younger days when my love ran free with the man of my dreams. We were as one all through high school and life was great. There was nothing that could ever stop us with our plans for the future..Nothing except stupidity and young uncontrollable tempers and quick fuses, mostly on my part..All our plans were thrown away on careless and hurtful written words and way too many years were wasted on trying to make do with what was thought to be a deserved way of life. Life had become like a badly written novel with several bad chapters of anger, drinking, hurt, and wrong decisions. The only good thing out of it all are the children that were given as a gift of love from God to provide a reason to continue on with this life.. Even after a time though even they did not seem to be enough to keep me grounded. Then I open a yearbook and there was that picture of times lone gone, but the emotion were back ,fresh and clear. The questions started flooding my senses and realization of needing to know some answers to questions and needing to find the one that had always found a way into my thoughts and still had a hold on my heart for the past twenty-six years and know that he at least made it back safe. The name was typed into the search bar and the list was long, but the same picture was at the top of the list again. Is it worth another try to see if my love made it back or is the risk of flooding emotion and another heartbreak too much to handle? Something tells me to take the chance and it was taken..He made it back and the response was short and to the point, but just knowing that he was alive was a relief. The next response said more than just a hello..Confusion, unknowing of what happened, and best of all a sense of some love was still in his words. The feeling of total friendship was still there, in between the lines of what we spoke to each other. The feeling of total trust hit full and hard as did the knowing that I still love this man beyond belief after all these years. After our typed words were done for the evening they were read and reread several times before the wall around some closeted emotion crumbled and a long night followed of trying to pull things back together. It wasn't long before contact was made again and then it was like the connection was never down. The first time his voice reached my ears was another slam through the heart because it sounded like it did before. How could what we had been let go so easily when after all this time the feelings were still there, buried deep within my soul? Why did it take so long for us to find each other again? As that sweet sound trickled through the phone it was earth shattering to know that if he had been free the door would be opened for him to come back home. The wall wall trying to shatter as much as it was trying to be kept in place. Then talks turned to the unhappiness that was consuming both of us, in past life and in current life, and the path we need to take became clear. The love poured through the phone in his words and the choice of what was next for us became clearer. The first meeting after so many years was about to happen and the nerves were totally unsteady, but the need to have my heart return to me was stronger. The need to be there and be strong for him and love him as before, unconditionally, was so strong that nothing could have prevented me from falling all over again. The first eye contact said it all. Love. Total love. It was there, plain to see in those eyes that always mesmerized me. The love felt within wanted to jump out and just latch on then, but the need to protect the heart was still lingering within as well. Then those beautiful hands touch mine, there went a piece of that wall. They felt strong and gentle at the same time. They felt just like they had never left me. The first kiss was so electrifying that the need to be back in those arms that were wanted for so long took hold and would not let go. The need to feel that body close again was to strong and had to quenched. It was obvious. Never again would my heart be without the love of it's life. It would not survive without its soul mate. Could he possibly feel as strong about this? The love we made told me yes, he could. Our lives were so connected, even in distance we seemed to have travel very similar paths. Now those paths are intertwined and the hope that they stay that way is strong within the soul that has found what it was missing. A month and a few weeks later the wall of protection is no longer needed where the love of the heart is concerned. It is still there for others but for my soul mate, it is gone. The total trust and unconditional love once felt for this man, the man of my dreams for the past thirty years, is once again in place. It will be there forever more, to love,hold,and always cherish what was once mine and is again, his love. The love felt within is so strong that just the sight of him consumes my heart to the point of a want that has never been quenched except by this same man from a time long gone and once again here for me to have forever within my arms.

My Life At This Point

      It has been a while since my last post. Thought I would see if I could clear my mind enough to put some thoughts down. My life has taken a drastic turn. Not one I was expecting this soon either. Since the loss of my job in 2009, I have spent many hours with my husband. Especially since at the time his work was more seasonal, until his health wouldn't even allow him that. We spent all our waking hours together, crafting, walking, or getting on each others nerves. Nevertheless, it was nice to have that companionship with someone who understood my Gemini personality and accepted it, even overlooked it at times. He was a true Taurus, stubborn and bull headed about some things , but loving and true to the end. Even though he has passed on, I still see him in every room of the house or anywhere I go that we once went together. I even dreamed of him a few nights ago, he told me he knew I loved him, that he loved me too, and he did not pick the time or mean for it to end this way. I woke up feeling his love even more than before. But he was happy and healthy in my dream, not in constant pain, and his arms felt good there. I will carry that dream with me forever. It was like he knew I needed that reassurance of our love to continue on with whatever lays ahead for me now. Thank you sweetheart for those words of love and thank you God for allowing me that little piece of mind. Now I only hope that I can move forward and be strong enough for whatever is next and hopefully in the end be reunited with my sweetheart for all eternity.

Stars

 The stars have really been shining bright lately. I'll sit on the front porch late at night and watch them twinkle in the dark sky. It remind me of the twinkle in my husbands eyes when he was up to mischief. There seems to be an abundance of them as they appear out of no where. Some shine really bright and then some act like they are shy and rather not be noticed, but you see them regardless. A few are so bright that even their sparkles can not be hidden by the drifting clouds. It's such a beautiful site to see and leaves one with a peaceful feeling.
