Lighting Up the Matter










I was looking thru my father’s old tool box the other day and found a small light bulb.  It seems to be made into three parts, all aluminum pieces. After examining it for a few minutes, I realized it was broken. Never to work again till someone smarter finds it...
Way back as a child, I remembered my Uncle taking me outside at night to see one just like it. He stuck it into the ground and after a minute or so, it began to glow in the darkness. After asking him how it worked, he replied,” Only Uncle Nick knew.” My father’s is missing a wire on the bottom that was placed into the ground. The chemistry of it? Not sure. His no longer works... I wondered who was Uncle Nick though. I never met him...

New Year, New Born, New Dreams






New beginnings for 2014... my new Grand-son, Haydon was born today...he's a 8 plus pound beautiful addition to my family and company for his sister Harmony. Second son Christopher was very proud, resting in the hospital room with his tired wife, Samantha ♥
As I drove to the hospital to see Haydon for the first time, this time, I slowed down to pass a spot where cattle used to graze in a pasture a few miles opposite the site where I found the ancient pyramid two years ago...
I look into the field, just beyond where anyone has walked for years to look again at ye stone against the side of the hill...
Its covered with snow today. I want so badly to stop and walk to it...
My dreams are filled with herbs, ancient symbols and stones, waking me from my dreams to wonder. What was the word I saw in the mist? What symbol of beginnings, long forgotten even to my Native ancestors here now with me. I long for Spring, a strong man with a crow bar and the nerve to answer the prayer calling to me from the veil...
