I have an avid interest in History or Events
that have happened, and changed the way I live and think.
This is a page of my thoughts, and why I have them!
It also represents the person I am free to be,
my strong Spiritual beliefs,
and how I wish to live my life!

The one physical and spiritual life we are given by the creator
"IS OURS",
and we should all have the Honor and Privilege to
live it out the way we choose,
without persecution or prejudice.
I will fight to keep this my God given right,
and the right of my family and friends.

...........

My Code of Life.

Treat people fairly and do not judge them for their outward appearance, 
be they any color or creed.
Look into their hearts, and judge them for their deeds.
I will not be fooled by those who would use my friendship to further 
their own selfish or greedy needs.
They are self serving, and without honor or loyalty.
Always give the less fortunate a helping hand.
I may turn the other cheek,
but I will not take a second slap.
Before you raise your hand or voice in "Anger",
raise your own awareness to overcome the ignorance of it.
I will always stand up for the weak or unprotected.
Always listen to a child, and never turn one away.
I will always walk away from a useless fight or argument,
but if cornered, I will fight with the 
strength and tenacity of Two Dogs.
Listen to your loved ones, and hear their hearts.
I will learn by my mistakes,
and never make the same one twice.
Be loving and kind to all of Gods creatures.
I will always protect my family and friends,
whether they are two or four legged.
Never go to bed with an argument on your mind,
and words of anger in your mouth.
I will always follow the path of the one God.
Never be afraid to say you are sorry.
I will always strive to be the most loving, loyal,
and trusted man I can be.
Do not pollute the Earth, 
save something for the future generations to enjoy, 
and then pass on to their own children.
I will always be  honest and fair.
Always take time for yourself,
so you may more appreciate those around you when they are.
Never ever harm or strike a woman or a child,
as no real man ever should.
Keep your mind and heart open,
as life is always filled with new things to learn.
I will always believe in my own inner strength,
and its power to heal and cure my body and mind.
Be forgiving, To yourself first.
If you cannot do it, don't expect anyone else to.
Always be able to laugh at yourself,
the same as you laugh at others.
Always Smile.


Since I was a child, I was able to live in some very pretty country.
I remember back when there were times we were not allowed to go outside and play, 
due to hunting season. This was my first experience with caring for animals. 
My oldest sister and I used to sneak out to play, and at times we would come across a wounded animal that some fool hunter had shot so they could site in their weapon, 
or maybe just to kill it for fun.
Be it a bird, squirrel, rabbit, or any of the other small creatures that lived in the woods around our home, it would be taken to the house and cared for. After a scolding for going outside, with the help of Mom, we would wash and feed it, then place it in a shoe box filled with dry grass or old rags to start its healing process. Unfortunately, the majority of the critters died due to their wounds, or just plain shock. I remember a small little area in the back of our property where we had a little graveyard for those who did not make it. There was row upon row of popsicle stick crosses that marked the tiny graves,
and eventually it resembled a miniature Arlington cemetery.
Every time we placed an animal there,
we would have a little ceremony and prayer for the fallen creature.
I remember holding the tiny lifeless creatures in my hands, 
and wondering why they had to die, what was the point. 
It could not have been a threat to anyone, nor was it used for a food source.
What a waste of life it was.
Well, here I am some 45 years later,
and I am doing the same ritual, and wondering why!
I am not knocking the practice of hunting,
or the hunters themselves... not all hunters are idiots,
as I hunt myself when I need to.
But I cannot understand why one would shoot an animal that was not to be used as a source of food. Again, it is such a waste of nature to arbitrarily take an innocent life from creatures that would never do us harm. God put every member of the animal kingdom here for a reason and when man,
through his ignorance... upsets the balance,
it affects the whole pecking order of nature and wildlife.
God never intended for man to live on bread alone...
but the game animals that were put on this earth were for our survival, 
and not intended to be trophies. This is a sport that mankind started, 
and I do not believe that the Creator had this venture in mind.
One does not earn his manhood by slaughtering all the creatures
of the forests, the deserts, the plains, or our waterways.
But if you really want to impress your peers in this manner,
go out and hunt a Grizzly Bear with a slingshot...
Then send me the video. That would impress the hell out of me!
Please, if one is to hunt for survival, take only what you need, 
and what is deemed legal, as we have way too many creatures
on the endangered species list these days.
And above all, do not waste what you take!
Until then, I will continue to make the little crosses from popsicle sticks, 
and lay my little animal cousins to rest in our graveyard,
in the hope that someday those that are ignorant will stop the 
useless slaughter of Gods creatures... and each other!


 

To be one with the animals,
is one of Gods most precious gifts to mankind!
Though not all possess this wonderful gift,
those that do are able to have their lives
that much more enriched with unconditional love, 
devotion, loyalty, and some humor on the side.

A Beautiful Afternoon Ride.

I honor this beautiful lady riding next to me.
Since we were kids, she has been my best friend,
my lover, my heart, and my confidant.
When my health took a turn for the worse,
she was right there by my side, 
and at times I know I was not the easiest person to live with. 
She has given me nothing but unconditional love 
and devotion, as well as comfort and stability.
She is my strength.
Thank you Honey, I love you!

"The Montana fires of 2000"
Since this affected my neighbors and I directly, I would have to say that this fire season has changed my life forever. Just about the time you take old Mother Nature for granted, She will teach you to always be on your toes, and keep you on the edge of your seat!
God Bless the many Firefighters and Volunteers from all over this Nation that gave their all to save us and our beautiful lands.
You are the unsung heroes of life and nature itself.
 
 
 
 

Midnight the "Buffalo Horse"
 

This is what The Dalai Lama has to say on the millennium.

L I F E
  Take into account that great love and
great achievements involve great risk.
   When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
   Follow the three Rs:
   Respect for self
   Respect for others and
   Responsibility for all your actions.
  Remember that not getting what you want is
sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
   Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
  Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
   When you realize you've made a mistake,
take immediate steps to correct it.
  Spend some time alone every day.
   Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
  Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
   Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think
   back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
  In disagreements with loved ones,
deal only with the current situation.
   Don't bring up the past.
   Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
  Be gentle with the earth.
   Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love
   for each other exceeds your need for each other.
  Judge your success by what you had to give up
in order to get it.
   Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
