Poem-A Shamans Prayer

Come stand in the circle, Hold your drum to the sky. And beat for the souls, that are too bound to die. Drum hard for those people, afraid to open and see. Remember their fear, For that once too was me. Together as sisters and brothers we stand. Around our souls fire, On mother earths, […]

Thoughts- Writers Block

I haven’t written for a nearly a week now. At first I would have argued that it was because I didn’t have enough time but now if I actually sit with the truth of that statement, there maybe more to it than that. So what I’m thinking happened is: I’ve started telling people about my […]
