The Mighty Wise Owl

In the Mystical Kingdom
Where the Great Spirit reigns
And all Life is Sacred
In Nature's Domain.

Sitting high on the bent branch
Of an ancient Oak Tree
The Owl is there pondering
Things that will be.

He watches in silence
And is fully aware
Of all things and all creatures
That pass by him there.

Nothing gets past him
For he already knows
Who's deceitful, who's honest
Who's friend and who's foe.

He's observant and knowing
And tactful and wise
Is fond of the dark Night
And sleeps at Sunrise.

His keen mind is conscious
Of the wisdom he holds
He can see in the future
How it will unfold.

He has all the answers.
He's explored the Unknown.
So those who are in search of
Won't go it alone.

In his magical essence
He sits watching now.
He's Nature's professor
The mighty wise Owl.

Determination

Adults built the wall
To divide and separate.
Children climb over.

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.

In all actuality, "The Wall" is simply a metaphor that represents a wide variety of things including Mindsets, Belief Systems, Boxes, Cages; anything that human beings can get caught up in; trapped in; imprisoned in; wrapped up in; entangled within; talked into; anything or anyone that can be bought off; paid off, etc.

Some of the "Bricks" used to build the wall(s) are slavery, poverty, theft, indoctrination, propaganda, manipulation, subjugation, war, tyranny, coercion, domination, force, and control and one of the greatest "Tools" used in the building of the wall(s) is the Corporate Media. When 6 Corporations control 90% of the Media, what does that tell you? Is it any wonder so many of the people are so easily manipulated and controlled? More "walls" are being built with every so-called breaking news story. (Notice the word "story"...)

The fact of the matter is, everything is energy and what is held within the mind will be created. Whatever belief system we choose to buy into will become our reality, which if we are not very careful, can place us into very small tiny boxes with very tight lids and therein lies the danger because often times, those tiny boxes that entrap and encompass us are not even our own original thoughts!

When people are kept in continual fear, continual survival mode, continual struggle, or in continual "crisis" mode, they are much easier to control and manipulate and there are those who literally feed off of the energy of fear and continuously create fear and promote fear.

The big secret out there that some don't want others to know is, there are two primary emotions, love and fear and all other emotions stem from them. We create our own realities from whatever energy we are in. If we are in the energy of love, we create from there and if we are in the energy of fear, we create from there as well. It isn't very difficult to figure out why some would prefer humanity to remain in the energy of fear and survival mode. After all, can you envision the all of humanity in there own personal power, instead of giving all of their power and their away continually? Life would change instantly upon this Planet for all of us, if that were to happen!

The good thing is, humanity as a whole is awakening to what's been going on and there are many adults who are joining the wise children and are choosing to climb over the wall(s) as well, while there are still others who are yet pondering the notion of doing so. There are also some who are far too afraid of climbing over any wall(s). However, there are also those who will not even allow themselves to even dream, let alone think of doing such a thing and to me, that's the saddest scenario of all.

To be so deeply ingrained and hunkered down within a box so tight that one cannot even allow themselves to think of any other possibilities, is very sad indeed! It's one thing to consider the possibility of climbing over walls, even if one may be afraid to actually do so. However, it's an entirely different thing to be totally surrounded by and imprisoned within the walls of a tight little box that one cannot see anything else at all.

However, it's all about choice and everyone gets to choose.

Bless all of the children who have not yet been immersed in those things that contribute to the building of the wall(s) and bless all of those who protect them from becoming immersed.

Somebody Pays (The Lament of Leonard Peltier)

When crime and violence fill the streets
And a plot is planned for the sure defeat
Of a specific Someone in some way
Remember that Somebody pays.

When Someone decides to do a wrong
By taking that which does belong
To Someone else, along the way
There will be Someone who will pay.

When Someone hurts, destroys, or kills
Somebody else against their will
In due time there will come a day
When Someone’s chosen who will pay.

When Someone commits that wrongful act
The Clock cannot be rewound back
To those haunting seconds of that fateful day
So left are the Victims who have to pay.

When Truth’s allowed to be covered up
And Lies prevail, the outcome does
Have direct effect on the lives of they
Who’ve been unjustly told that they have to pay.

Before Someone’s sentenced for the crime
Make sure the Truth is told in time.
Not Lies that cover the Crime Scene’s Day
Or the innocent will have to pay.

Just like the man who sits in jail
Because the Justice System failed
To honor Truth and wrongly say,
“An innocent man has got to pay.”

Leonard, I hope there soon will be
A place in time where you’ll be free
‘Cause you’re one of the Victims of That Day.
For Someone else, you’ve had to pay.

You’ve paid for something that you didn’t do
Many people know this and are praying for you
And we anxiously wait for That Sacred Day
When the Cage is finally opened and the Eagle flies away…

Ironic Misconceptions

The man whose skin tone
She thought was the enemy
Saved her young son’s life.

The Wolf’s Moon

While standing outside in the bright Full Moon’s Light
I gazed at the Sky and admired the sight.
Of that big Moon who stood silent, so quiet and still
Her breathtaking beauty gave my heart a chill.

As I watched mesmerized at the vision so bold
My mind wandered to a place that is home
To the Wilderness Creatures who live wild and free
In the Mountains and Forests and the Open Prairies.

And my thoughts took me to a place I could see
The silhouette of a Gray Wolf on a Hill by a Tree
And I watched as he sat there 'neath the shining Moonlight
With his nose to the Sky, howling into the Night.

His lonesome voice echoed through the Wind and the Trees
And his haunting song seeped to the soul within me.
As I watched him in awe, engulfed in the sound
The Great Spirit’s Presence was felt within and around.

The Moon was his possession; he had made her his own
She was part of his being; part of his soul.
And my body felt peaceful and my spirit was soothed.
I could have stayed there forever with the Wolf and his Moon.

And I could still hear him calling as I slowly came back
From that place I was taken near the Wolf and his pack.
Now every time I look at her, I hear that same tune.
His voice calls out to me, when I see the Wolf’s Moon.

The Eagle’s Journey (Getting Ready to Fly)

Bald Eagle Take-Off

On the edge of a mountain's jagged cliff
The Majestic Bald Eagle quietly sits
In the midst of snow and rolling clouds
Encompassed in the peace she’s found.

From there she watches the vast life below
While animals run and big rivers flow.
Where long, grassy prairies wave in the Wind.
Where past Spirits reside and new life begins.

And she decides the Direction she wants to go.
And prepares to journey where the Four Winds blow.
And when she spreads her wings and looks to the Sky
The Eagle is then getting ready to fly.

Soaring high in the Heavens, so proud and so free
She glides with such smooth grace, so effortlessly.
And as she floats with the clouds in the Realms up Above
She's close to the Creator and Grandfather Sun.

And she's fulfilling her purpose and achieving her goals
While teaching others freedom, she's transcending her soul.
And as the Creator watches from His painted Dusk Sky
He’s proud of His Eagle as He watches her fly.

And He's proud of His people when they soar through their fears
Discover their purpose; facing all types of mirrors.
For that transcends them, like Eagle; guides their soul through the Flight
Of their Unabridged Journey that leads them to His Light.

So, decide the Direction you want to go.
And prepare to journey where the Four Winds blow.
And spread your wings
And look to the Sky
And just like the Eagle
Get ready to fly...
