OPRAH, Are you reading ? STOMP> The Fog will lift at least in the heart

Walter LIttleMooon and Jane

of

Wounded Knee

"We are Standing With YOU both here"

Meet my friends,

Walter and Jane!

I am "clicking my heels out here in KS"

and

after reading the many comments of

yesterday

and

krumpling many kleenex

as

the warriors of this page

are

STOMPING

and

now

taking a "stand"

I am

with a full heart.

I read over and over the comments

and

then thought of the many who

read but do not comment

and

know in my heart that they

echo similar thoughts.

Jane and Walter

talking to others

sharing the book

"THEY CALLED ME UNCIVILIZED"

and letting many know

of

The Indian Boarding Schools

They now have the interest of

Randy Vasquez

who is a producer

and who has the potential of taking

this tragedy

to the big screen

to

Hollywood

as an "independent film"

and that is perhaps where as Jane said in her comments of yesterday

we could do the best good now.

We can contribute to making that happen.

As one reader commented and said,

"sign me MAD"

after trying to get clothing drives started in her community and was met with the response of

"But it will be expensive shipping out there"!!!

NOw she can go back to the "tightwad" with a more simple request!

She can let them know

that there is a much easier way without shipping

involved while folks on the Rez

wait for the box from someone else with blankets and coats and perhaps a t-shirt and jeans from someone who will give up something to send something!

This is something powerful, something that may in fact attract the "eye" and glamour of those who can effect

change, can heal wounds and go further

in

Lifting a FOG of generations

if the movie is made

the

TRUTH IS TOLD

by those who survived the tortures

described so well in the video.

C'mon

watch it again, read on the left

on the home page

look deeply at the people

their faces, look with all your senses

at the years

of

trauma.

Look at your children

and see their faces in the faces of these adults

telling the stories.

Look at your Elders

at

the pictures you have seen of

my

Granny and imagine her relations

or

your relations.

We are all connected in the

greater circle.

AND

then click on how you can help.

When this movie is created

and when it wins

that

independent film award

that those in

HOLLYWOOD attend

sit back and know

you

brought

Walter and the others to the

forefront of

our country

and

now

perhaps some of the trauma can be addressed

and healed through knowing

that

the World knows it.

Click on ALL of the links on the left side

and get to know ever piece of

"The Thick DArk Fog"

http://www.indianboardingschoolmovie.com/

and

then

Let your knowledge be your truth when you tell others

Stand for our First Americans

on our soils.

The Eagle

WAtches over

all, tending to her own first.

And then

soars over

only if we look up.

TO STAND FOR OUR OWN

TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN

IN RIGHT WAY RELATIONS

Helping Others, even other Countries

This is

Our Eagle

The very one that watches over us

On Lake Tarpon

like a trusted Friend

During great times on the lake,

during sad times, bad times

times of profound grief

and heartaches

that Eagle will let us know

that it is there

it will make itself known

by soaring over the boat

and then taking its place as an old friend

as a guardian to our presence

our joy and our pain

watching over us.

To remind us

"I AM HERE, I'LL HELP,

and

"I'LL STAND BY AND FOR YOU"

><

STOMP

You just cannot get a

stronger message

than that friends.

<>

You just have to be

open to receive the messages

that you receive

they are always there

if you

are open and ready to receive them.

A beautiful woman once embraced me

and then looked me in the eye

and said,

"When the student is ready, the teacher appears"

i will never ever forget her or that statement.

We as people must put our oxygen mask on first

and then we are able to render help to others.

WE must love us, forgive ourselves,

before we are able to love and to be present for others.

><

Just as that majestic

Eagle on Lake Tarpon

watches over us

it first watches out and over

'self'

and those little ones in its

nest.

But

it stands for our country

it stands

for freedom

and all that has ever been

or will ever be

in this

great Nation of ours.

It is seen in many forms

across the sky

that takes our breath away.

It reminds us

that

these colors do NOT run.

It can be found on

tattoo's of folks around the country

on the sides of jets

and on the arms

and backs

of Americans

and

soldiers

now fighting for US

around the globe.

WE STAND

and we say thank you across the Nation,

some give some

some gave ALL

in uniforms of the Military

in Uniforms of Blue, of Red, of brown

of

Volunteers

who protect, and help.

Helping others, even other countries.

BUT

Helpers, it begins

WITHIN

Helpers help yourself.

Of course there will always be those who

argue, who disagree who get wrapped up

in the politics, in "who shot john stories"

and

who condemn.

Those who say

our government and President is doing it wrong or bad or that he just plain out sucks.

It will always be that way, it has since

Watergate, since the country lost respect of

the person who sits in the

White House.

BUT

if you really think about it,

if you keep it real

it goes back long before that.

It goes back

to

the treaties broken long before our times.

Interesting

no one wants to go back that far.

No one.

So we only want to know and to go back as far as we want to go back.

We only want to hear what we want to hear

and to remember what we read and what pertains to us in the now

and what is our spin on things.

BUT

we want swift action

we

want our house values to be worth what they were we when paid for them

and we

want

a "bail out"

don't get me wrong here

I want that too!

BUT

I want it all!

and

I want to know

Why

why are we not taking care of our own

and let's start with our own

right here

where the Eagle flies

and

those in the poorest lands

and

the highest risks

the neglected most

for

the longest time.

Mr President, Oprah.

Jay Z who I read yesterday has 45 million dollars, and Wil I am who makes houses happen for single moms (by the way darlin boy, Cousin Angie and my Godsons in southwest VA is a single mom with two boys) could use a home.

Where are you?

BUT

more importantly

where are you when it comes to

STANDING UP

and taking a STAND

for those on our soil

out there in

South Dakota

who are hungry

without clothing

without the basic needs

of computers and education

and

HOPE

the

descendants of

the

First Americans

of

Wounded Knee

and others living

in abject poverty

that our our brothers and sister

of

America.

The

children

the

Elders

the

Veterans of Wars fought

for America

that are there

too.

What about them

the forgotten on our soils.

Why have no shows been on T.V.

no celebrities taking up prime time to raise monies,

no Presidential address saying this is

a National Tragedy that now must be addressed,

No first Lady saying we must now take action,

NO fans on a facebook having fundraisers

to send clothing, monies, foods

to a proud but humble people

whose Ancestors walked this land

and revered the North American Black Bear

and

honored and cherished the land beneath their feet

and

no country music star,

no MC Hammer, No Jay Z,

No Black Eye Pea Wil I am

and

No Oprah,

No Jay Leno,

No Ellen DeGeneres

No View or Whoopi

No Barbra Walters

wanting to interview

a man that was called

"Uncivilized"

Walter LittleMoon

who was brutally wounded'; physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally as a child

in Indian Boarding Schools -

given an opportunity to tell the world

of the realities of our Nation

and the treatment endured by the hands

of others

to ensure

that it will never ever happen again.

STOMP

I cannot help but

be

bewildered by this

and

I ask

after watching this

video again:

how can this be

that no one cares ...

http://www.indianboardingschoolmovie.com/?fb_page_id=6925834980&

Knowledge is power,

HOPE is in the telling of the stories

and

people need to know

and

more than that

this video needs to be shared

the movie needs to be made.

What is it called?

the Independent film industry that we watch on television?

Someone needs to hear of this,

needs to interview

Walter LittleMoon and the others on this video

and to start writing letters

to get the attention

of those mentioned above.

AND warriors

if you are doing your spring cleaning

and you want to help by sending

clothing,

blankets, coats, sheets

or toys, school supplies, and such

to those at Wounded Knee:

Just do it

PUT A NOTE IN THERE

that says this:

"Friend of Walter LittleMoon"

and send it to:

The Wounded Knee Community Center

General Delivery

Wounded Knee, SD 57794

There are times,

when we help ourselves by stepping up

and helping others.

We do not need a

"pat on the back, or a calendar, or a mailing label, or a bunch of those labels with our return addresses on them"

we know where we live and have a pen to write our own address don't we?

"Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I may not remember. Involve me and I'll understand"

So, here is an opportunity for all to really understand

by getting involved!

So

there you have it.

I don't know about you

but

I am taking care of those in my own family,

putting on my oxygen mask on first

and

then helping those in need

with theirs right here on my land

where those first Americans

were the

FIRST RESPONDERS; the proud, the ones who believed and knew that we do not own the land, we are the keepers, the ones who will walk gently and ask permission for all that we do with respect and with honor in right way relations.

for the lands

where the Eagle Soared

and

the North American Black Bear was revered

with its medicine and its freedom

on our land.

To all our relations

I say thank you

and

so it is

for that I give great thanks.

To those who have served and those who are serving

I thank you and your families.

I now am headed to the airport for Kansas,

be well

stay blessed

and

Here's to all you dare to dream

May your spirit soar under the watchful eye

of

our majestic Eagle.

Sure was some Thunder & Lightning AND RAIN

Spose to rain again

so says that

person who makes the big bucks

and

predicts the weather!

BUT

way I figure it



Storms never last ...

and

there is always a

Rainbow

We Just gotta remember to look

UP

(just not in the rain)

Ready for coffee?

Got mine and it sure is good

and the rain is playing

percussion on the gutter this morning

just sounds lovely I tell ya.

Attitude is everything;

even when you feel broken, tired,

and

just plain out worn out

know you are but bent and tired.

That is your time

to

Rest.

STOMP

That sure was some rain of yesterday

mighty

Thunder beings played and the Lightning

danced across the skies of this area

throughout the day and evening

and the rains fell with force.

Everyone in a awhile it was so loud

that it just startled the little ones into action that

they were compelled to take action

and

run with wild abandon

around the pool

not realizing the error of their ways

until realizing that they heavy coats of hair

were then soaked!

They are indeed quite amusing!

Sometimes we as humans are like that;

we react from going from reactive

to in gear

zero to 100 in a hot minute

we do

adrenalin and shock

throw us into action quickly.

BUT

then we pay the price

and

need to lay down to recover

and to rest, while wondering

"what was I thinking"!

Life is like that sometimes.

Reactive from stimuli or situations

or circumstances.

Then we are exhausted, or weary beyond measure

forgetting that

"this feeling will pass"

and

that storms never last

and

we will again see the rainbow

or

that we will heal

and

restore and stand strong again.

Ever met those people?

Ever walked that path yourself?

Self-Care is NOT an option

and

learning to pace yourself is truly important in

and

during the storms of life

but there will always be those times

when you can't quite do that

demand and need push people beyond their own limits

and they have to do things that are outside normal limits

and once the crisis or demand is past

then they can just collapse or

fall down

for their bodies and mind and spirit

to finally get the needed rest

and

to restore their spirit, soul, body.

Once what is needed is attended to,

once the storm is over

the rainbow is seen

then

whew

then the beauty of the rainbow!

Sometimes when we are so weary, in pain and in struggles it is difficult if not impossible to hear the words of others and their suggestion in our ears much less our hearts...

Enough is enough during times like this.

It is during struggles along with other times

you will find out who your "true supporters and friends are"

it is important to remember

what others think and say of you

often reflect more on "them" than you.

As Maya Angelou once said

"when someone shows you who they are the first time

believe them and move on"

after all

if someone can't take you at your worst they sure

as hell do not deserve you at your best! I think

Marilyn Monroe said that one!

Have you ever wondered when you wonder about something or someone and their actions, there are those that will

"react, or will lash out"

and accuse you then of being "against them or their ideas"?

That should be your first clue

that maybe they just do not get it, and maybe they are not the ones that will be there for you when you need them

nor will they be the most understanding of the understanding!

I had a person who called themselves the friend friends like that once... others spent a lot of time upset over that.

During storms one notices much falls from the skies

and

it is more than rains I am sorry to tell you,

perhaps that is the real reason behind umbrellas.

So for today,

I offer you a

story, brought to me once again

on the backs of the lightning and the rolling thunder beings,

and a good one it is!

WADO

Ah, but there is nothing quite like a good rain,

it just washes it all clean

and if you ever heard rain under a tin roof?

That is truly a delight!

This morning I share with you

a legend on grief. 

There was a man and his wife who had one daughter. Mother and daughter were deeply attached to one another, and when the latter died the mother was disconsolate. She cut off her hair, cut gashes in her cheeks and sat before the corpse with her robe drawn over her head, mourning for her dead. Nor would she let them touch the body to take it to a burying scaffold. She had a knife in her hand, and if anyone offered to come near the body the mother would wail, “I am weary of life. I do not care to live. I will stab myself with this knife and join my daughter in the land of spirits.” Her husband and relatives tried to get the knife from her but could not. They feared to use force lest she kill herself. They came together to see what they could do.
 “We must get the knife away from her,” they said.


At last they called a boy, a kind of simple boy, yet with a good deal of natural shrewdness. He was an orphan and very poor. His moccasins were out at the sole and he was dressed in wei-zi (course buffalo skin, smoked). “Go to the tipi of the mourning mother,” they told the simple boy, “and in some way contrive to make her laugh and forget her grief. Then try to get the knife away from her.” The boy went to the tent and sat down at the door as if waiting to be given something. The corpse lay in the place of honor where the dead girl had slept in life. The body was wrapped in a rich robe and wrapped with ropes. Friends had been there earlier and each had covered it with rich offerings out of respect to the dead. As the mother sat on the ground with her head covered she did not at first see the boy, who sat silent.


But, when his reserve had worn away a little he began at first lightly, then more heavily, to drum on the floor with his hands. After a while he began to sing a comic song. Louder and louder he sang until carried away with his own singing he sprang up and began to dance, at the same time gesturing and making all manner of contortions with his body, still singing the comic song.


 As he approached the corpse he waved his hands over it in a blessing. The mother put her head out of the blanket and when she saw the poor boy with his strange grimaces trying to do honor to the corpse by his solemn waving, and at the same time keeping up his comic song, she burst out laughing.


 Then she reached over and handed her knife to the boy. “Take this knife,” she said. “You have taught me to forget my grief. If while I mourn for the dead I can still be mirthful, there is no reason for me to despair. I no longer care to die. I will life for my relations.”


The boy left the tipi and brought the knife to the astonished husband and relatives. “How did you get it? Did you force it away from her, or did you steal it?” they asked.
“She gave it to me. How could I force it from her or steal it when she held it in her hand, bade uppermost? I sang and danced for her and she burst out laughing. Then she gave it to me,” he answered.


When the old men of the village heard of the orphan’s story they were very silent. It was a strange thing for a boy to dance in a tipi where there was mourning. It was stranger that a mother should laugh in a tipi before the corpse of her dead daughter. The old men gathered at last in council. They sat a long time without saying anything, for they did not want to decide hastily.
The pipe was filled and passed many times. At last an old man spoke. “We have a hard question. A mother has laughed before the corpse of her daughter, and many think she has done foolishly, but I think the woman did wisely.
The boy was simple and of no training, and we cannot expect him to know how to do as well as one with good home and parents to teach him. Besides, he did the best he knew.
 He danced to make the mother forget her grief, and he tried to honor the corpse by waving over it his hands.” “The mother did right to laugh, for when one does try to do us good, even if what he does causes us discomfort, we should always remember rather the motive than the deed. And besides, the boys’ dancing saved the woman’s life, for she gave up her knife. In this, too, she did well, for it is always better to live for the living than to die for the dead." >>>
You are living, honor those who have gone before you and live now with all that you have, you are their legacy, you are warriors.


And so, there you go... A story for the day... As you move into your day whether in the storm or finding your rainbow, or restoring balance and healing from your struggles, whether they be physical, emotional or spiritual or all...


May you find the strength to go on, the HOPE to fill your heart, and to know this.


You are of great strength, and remember laughter and the ability to hold up your head, to listen to the sound of someone as they laugh and assist you in shifting your focus may in fact give you what you need, to move your state to one that assists you in giving you what you need.
Storms never last, although it may seem that they do...
Rest, restore your spirit and then work to heal and continue on.
