Just Karma 126
Native Wisdom 3
Borne Different
I
Have wondered
I have settled
I am freer than
most
*
Yet
Your sadness haunts me
Mostly because you
Will not share
It

“I was born upon the prairie, where the wind blew free, and there
was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there
were no enclosures, and where everything drew free breath...
I know every stream and wood between the Rio Grande and the
Arkansas. I have hunted and lived over that country. I lived like
my fathers before me, and like them, I lived happily.”
Ten Bears [Parra-wa-samen] (late 19th century)

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.
I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.
Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
