Morrow Point, Black Canyon Of The Gunnison

Morrow point was named after an early Christian minister who came here to converse with God and contemplate his Sunday service. It is not a hike for the faint hearted. The bone jarring road to the trail head in those days was sufficient to discourage any preacher or goat unworthy of his salt. The winds hear at the point search the heart, speak like thunder, 2700 hundred feet above the Gunnison river straight down.

बेऔतिफुल Prayer

Oh, Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the winds,
and Whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom,
let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden under every leaf and rock.
I seek strength not to be greater than my brother
but to fight my greatest enemy - Myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame. Translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887

Many Glacier, Glacier National Park

Former native range of The Blackfeet Indian Nation, but This one Nation Under God of ours swindled them out of it. 

Yep, they started their lies and thievery at Plymouth Rock, and didn't stop till they acquired Yosemite. God kicked the evil sob's out of Heaven, and the Devils have plundered this Earth. 

They Made War with and cheated the Red Man out of everything that was rightfully His. They came from overseas with sheets of blank paper and wrote their own Land Titles and Laws to enforce their greed. 

The White man shot the Indians like dogs and glorified themselves in doing so. European Heads of State perfected their wickedness and robbery for thousands of years, sailed across the Atlantic and polished their dark skills at the expense of Peoples who lived as one with The Earth. 

"We will Buy it for pennies on the dollar and rent it back to the Savages ". "Yeah, we will put a meter on it, and these ignorant natives will never get the Title back, or own it again, nor realize our existence because we are The Deep State. "

However, Karma.

He walked across most Native American Lands in North America and learned to read what is chiseled in the cliffs and overhangs. Yeah, him in the blue coat. The Glyphs and Paintings say " There is assembled a great Army. Its name is " here to set the record straight, have come to take it back, we were not kicked out of Heaven ".

Bodie Church

This is the church at Bodie California. It's the absolute most extensive and best preserved ghost town one can imagine. The structures, goods, and furnishings were well kept by the arid climate. For one who loves old things it is paradise.

Chiricaua Mountains / Land of Cochise

This was the last stronghold of the  Great native American Apache Chief Cochise. Greatly out numbered and out gunned, Cochise and the strongest of his warriors held up in the most remote of theses mountains, where they were intentionally starved and  shot like dogs for title to their land. 

 '' When I was young I walked all over this country, east and west, and saw no other people than the Apaches. After many summers I walked again and found another race of people had come to take it." Words of Cochise

Santorini, Greece

Church at Fira

View of Nea Kameni Island

Santorini  is a Greek Island in the Agean Sea, a remnant of a volcanic caldera. Where once stood a great mountain, there is now an intimidating void, and safe harbor for ships.

Santorini exibits the awsome forces of nature, the raveling thread of life, the thin film of atmospheric conditions within which humanity endures.
