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!!!!!!

Life's rewards
Life. It can be so sweet, like the sound of rain falling through the trees . Or the waves lapping at the seashore on a summer night. Nothing beats the thrill of living life to the fullest you can., of course, we always want more. But you cant get a better adrenaline rush than the continuing ups and downs brought on by everyday life. One minute you could be flying high on an eagles wings and the next you are the rabbit he is dive bombing to carry away. Or maybe we're the little stream flowing through the mountains at a peaceful pace, enjoying the views, just to end up flowing over the waterfall into the rapids below. Our lives are very much in tune with the nature around us. The sound of the red-tail hawk can be soothing to hear if you take the time to listen. But one has to slow their fast paced life down to hear such things. You don't have to bungee jump cliffs or free fall from them to get a joy out of life. Slow down, take a look around, enjoy the world we live in. Enjoy life as best you can and get your "rush" from living it the best way you can with those you love. The rewards are much better and last longer than a bungee jump.
I am a nature freak. The animals and there habitats are paying a big price for the growth of our population. They are being pushed, killed, or hauled out of there homes so that more housing can be built. What happened to the laws that protect the eagles and such. I have seen their habitat , where they have lived for years be torn down for housing developments . I have seen our historic trails turn in to condos and wetlands destroyed. All for the money. More land is being cleared daily, and for what? There are tons of places where a previous contractor or financiers could not finish what he started. Multiple homes, new ones, that have been built but not sold because there is no money for people to spend. So why must we keep destroying our wildlife just to build a house that no one has the money to buy or rent? What purpose does this serve?
