Hello,
 
I am a mother of four, 22,18,17,16 yrs.  I am a writer and I would like to share my words with many.  My beliefs are my own.  I would like to share them with you as I hope you will share yours with me.  I do not want you to change your beliefs for they have helped you survive.  Please don't try and change mine because mine have helped me survive.  I hope that you will accept me as you see that I am very different.
 
I have become spiritual over the years.  I am walking upon my road, the road of my life.  Please walk with me as you read my words. 
 
"Reading my words is like hearing muffled cries only a few will hear them"
 
Love,
 
 
 

A fire to warm your soul�?/P>

Among many trees in a forest there is a clearing next to a large creek. A fire burns in the clearing bringing light among the darkness of this night.

The spiritual body of a young Indian woman sits next to this fire watching the flames with her deep brown eyes. She wears a brown Indian dress and her long dark hair moves gently with the wind. She listens to the sound of water flowing in the creek.

Please sit near the fire and listen to her words�?/FONT>

 

"I want to tell you the meaning of my name, summerwind."

"Jesus is like a brother to me and I think of Him as a sacred wind. A wind that doesn’t hurt or destroy. I allow Him to use me to bring goodness to our world. I was born in the summer so I am summer, He is the wind, and together we are summerwind."

The wind is gentle as it moves through the clearing next to the large creek. As the spiritual body of the young Indian woman sits next to the fire, the dark night surrounds her. She speaks to those who sit near her�?/FONT>

 

"I am different than most people. There are many spirits with me and they come and go like the wind. They speak to me in many different ways. With the help of good spirits I have learned much about myself. Who I am and the road I must walk upon in my life. My road is a dry creek bed. I walk upon and around many rocks.

"I believe that I have the spirit of a young Indian woman hidden inside a white woman’s body. I believe that our spirits can be different than our bodies. When I die my white woman’s body will turn to dust and I will have the spiritual body of a young Indian woman."

 

"Listen to my words and they will show you a glimpse of my spirit."

 

As I lay upon a hill covered with soft grass,

Watching above,

As the branches of trees sway in the wind,

Seeing a hawk flying in the blue sky,

Hearing the cries of wolves in the distance,

Wondering if I shall ever see a wolf,

Wondering if a wolf will ever see me,

Wishing I could stay upon this hill forever,

As the wind surrounds me and the sun warms me,

 

 

I close my eyes with tears upon my face

As I open my eyes this hill is gone,

Gone are the trees, the hawk, the cries of wolves,

I am alone in a world where concrete covers Grandmother Earth,

Where buildings reach into the skies instead of trees,

The cries that echo in the wind are not from wolves,

They are the cries of my soul

This is beautiful Summerwind, have you checked out the message board called Story time, Please feel free to put your stories there so we may all share them.  Many members come and read once a week or daily and often messages get lost and un-read in the general messages,  I look forward to reading more. 
Love Barbara Jean ( Dove )

Aho Welcome to the fire
I pass the stone to you
 
A year of beauty. A year of plenty.
A year of planting. A year of harvest.
A year of forests. A year of healing.
A year of vision. A year of passion.
A year of rebirth.

This year may we renew the earth.
This year may we renew the earth.

Let it begin with each step we take.
And let it begin with each change we make.
And let it begin with each chain we break.
And let it begin every time we awake

The young Indian woman puts some wood on the fire. As the smoke rises into the sky, she speaks about the Creator�?/FONT>

"In the beginning, when man could not travel across the oceans, the many different races in our world were separated. The Creator created the different races because He wants us to be different. If He wanted everyone to be united, He would have created us that way.

"When the races were separated, the Creator came to each of them in different ways. He helped us create our religions, our sacred songs, our sacred ceremonies.

"Good spirits are with each of the races, however, evil spirits are with them too. Jesus was born in a place where much evil dwells. He was created to show us how to fight the evil that dwells there.

"Many listened to Jesus and when man began to travel across the oceans to America, the Indians were not completely destroyed. Jesus’s words kept man from destroying our American Indians. His words also helped the African slaves.

"I believe that Jesus’s Spirit is different than His body. His Spirit could be an Indian man or even an African man. His Spirit could have been hidden so that man would listen to His words.

"I believe that Jesus and Mary came to the Indians years ago. They came to them in a different way, because their people are different. I believe that Mary is their Sacred White Buffalo-Calf Maiden and their Sacred Chanunpa holds the Spirit of Jesus.

"I have combined my beliefs with the beliefs of the Lakota people. I believe that Jesus has a Grandfather and a Grandmother. His Grandmother is our Sacred Earth and His Grandfather is, Tunkashila, the Sacred Sky. His Grandmother and Grandfather are much greater than the Earth and Sky. The Earth and Sky are only a glimpse of Them.

"Our Creator, Jesus’s Father, used Grandmother and Grandfather to create our world."

As the spiritual body of the young Indian woman watches the flames of the fire before her, tears come to her eyes.

 

"As I live my life, I have always wanted a father to look out for me. I am the oldest in my family and I have always had to look out for myself. I have always wanted a father, but mine died when I was a little one. I’m sure he has been with me spiritually, but for a long time I have lived in our physical world not thinking much about spirits and spiritual worlds.

 

"On Father’s Day this year I walked through the park near my home among many trees. Good spirits came to me. They said that my father was walking with me. They said that he wanted to know why I don’t talk to him or think of him. I tried to talk to him, but tears began falling from my eyes. I told him it hurt too much to think of him, to talk to him. He told the spirits with me to tell me that he understands and he loves me. We continued walking among the trees silently.

 

"I have two fathers now. My father’s spirit is with me and the Father of Jesus has answered my prayers and has become my Father too."

Embers glowed where a fire once burned. The Indian woman spirit slept next to the embers on some soft grass. As she slept, the spiritual body of a young Indian man walked from among the darkness. He put some wood on the embers and he sat next to the sleeping Indian woman.

As she slept, the Indian man sang a song into the wind as the fire began to burn, as smoke from the fire rose into the sky. As the young woman continued to sleep she dreamed she was talking with many spirits.

"Why are you here?" asked one of the spirits.

"I am trying to help all of you," answered the young woman.

"How are you going to help us?"

"I am hoping if I tell you of my beliefs maybe you will be able to see what I see."

"So tell us these beliefs," said one of the spirits.

"My God is different than the God of most people. My God does not hurt or kill anyone or anything living. When someone dies, or has a disease, or is hurt in any kind of accident, they are victims of evil spirits.

"My God does not kill. He did not flood the world as it is written in the bible. Man wrote it and man is not perfect. I believe that when good spirits come to us giving us visions and inspirations evil spirits are with us also. They try to mess up what the good spirits are trying to achieve.

"I do not like to use the name God. It is a name made by man. I call my God, Our Father. Our Father is perfect in every way. He is so good that He could never do anything evil. That is why he hasn’t destroyed the evil spirits. He is waiting for evil to destroy itself. He watches over us and helps us in many ways. Know that He weeps when we suffer.

"When I pray, I pray to Jesus. I believe that Jesus allows Our Father to use Him to bring goodness to our world. In the same way Our Father allows Grandfather to use Him. Jesus carries our prayers to Our Father and Our Father carries our prayers to Grandfather. So it is better to pray to Jesus because you are praying to three instead of one."

As the spiritual body of the young Indian woman awakened, the spiritual body of the young Indian man continued to sing. The woman sang with him. Their songs are prayers that come from their hearts and souls.

As the fire burns among the darkness, the spiritual bodies of an Indian man and an Indian woman sit next to it. The Indian woman speaks to those who sit with them next to the fire�?/FONT>

"Sometimes I suffer so much. I know there are others in this world who suffer too and I hope that my words will comfort them.

"As I suffer within the body of a young white woman, I close my eyes and rest. My spirit leaves my body and ascends above. My spiritual body looks like a young Indian woman and many spirits tell me that I am very beautiful because my beauty is within me.

"My spirit rests upon a white cloud. As I lay upon the soft cloud, the sun shines upon me warming me and a gentle wind surrounds me. A spirit tells me that Jesus is holding me and my cloud in His hands.

"The spiritual body of a young Indian man lays next to me, holding me in his strong arms. A spirit tells me that my Indian is a gift from Jesus. He was created for me and I for him. The love that we share is a pure love, a different kind of love that many don’t know about. It is a sacred love that comes from Jesus and His Sacred Family.

"I rest upon this cloud until my strength returns."

I have a special place where you can read what comes from my heart and soul.  I hope that many hearts and souls will awaken as my words are read.
 
" Reading my words is like hearing muffled cries only a few will hear them"
 
My gift to you...
