A Voice on The Winds said to me, "It is time for all of Mankind to understand the delicate balance of creation. While vast and powerful, it also is articulate in design and delicate in that it must maintain the Principles of its Creation.

In the Creation stories of your Ancestors of the Woodlands, there are valuable points the unawakened Buffalo Heart needs to understand. They have a vital reason to be fully aware of what is real and what can be changed. Begin here and with those who will come. Never doubt there will always be those who will overcome the obstacles and make it through the mass. Keep your message moving and sing Beloved Woman of the Beauty to come.

The Humming Bird's hunger for the sweetest of all the Blossoms, makes it travel great distances under all sorts of danger.  Many try to persuade him to taste their nectar, yet only the sweetest and most fragrant of the Flowers will the mighty warrior give his service to. The Humming Bird pollinates only the powerful beauties that stand out and keep the beauty going!!! He is endless energy and moves faster than the wind. So are the hearts of those coming . . . their Wills are the wings that they fly with today and they will arrive. Yes, be at peace, Daughter, they will make it. Keep the Sacred Fires and make the Altar, Seekers of Vision are arriving with the new day."

Immediately memories sprang up of the many times around the fires in the evenings, after a good day's efforts and when loved ones came by and stayed for dinner and to rest before continuing their journeys, our Old Ones would tell us of the creation of our World.

They told us that in the First World, Ela the Great Mother was formed. Star Woman gave her body and there was Earth, Water, Fire and Wind.

There was activity and the forces were strong and clear. There were powerful mountains being born. Stone Elders came to be. And the Spirit moved into all the Directions taking many forms in the Mother Earth. Great powerful Winds moved the Waters and carved Sacred places of extraordinary beauty upon the Mother's surface, while in the center of her Being the Fires boiled the gases and minerals until there were wonderful exraordinary Crystal Beings taking shape and recording her magnificent birth. Healing and Birthing with primal forces that even still are present in Woman at the birthing of each infant into the Earth.

Things began to calm. There was a great change in the Wind's songs. The great Clouds began to separate and evaporate. Sunlight filtered through the mists. The Earth lay raw and naked in the light of the world of Elo Mona Hi. A DA NV DO (The Great Spirit) heard the call from his daughter, Ela, and sent her his love.

From the Great Mystery emerged Love, a consciousness, and entered the Earth. In this second world the Tree nation took root and began to stand tall. There came to be with the Tree People, fruits and their seeds of new life. Flowers leaped up from the Mother's skin in great colors and added sweet fragrances that the Wind Spirit moved into all the Directions, with the seeds of the fruits and plants, celebrating the new world of beauty. A DA NV DO was in each creation so all was energy, Alive!! Spirits of Galunlati walked this land and found joy. Ela was magnificent and beauty was everywhere.

Some Old Ones would say there were five Worlds before this present world and that we all now are going into the Sixth World. Others would say no there were only four worlds of creation.

The Old Ones who said there were five worlds said in the third world the Spirits began to explore and play in the elements. Then came the Relations, many stayed in the water and others took to land, each are from Earth and Water. These land forms drew in the Wind and breathed in life. They carry the Fire and are warm blooded. Then came the creepy crawling ones, flying and feathered ones, and four leggeds as well.

All was in harmony and held the respect. All appreciated what was given and Great Spirit was the Giver That Gives All. Love, power, beauty, abundance were held by all.

The Winds of the Mother Sun, foretold of a Message that was coming to Ela. The Creator was sending Ela a Reflection of The One, that would be her Children. So came the Fourth World and Human. In this creation, all that was already came in the totality of the All. Hu-man, standing straight and on two legs. Human is the totality of all that is. We cannot exist without the rest of the creations. We are One with All. To harm or destroy any of the first three orders is to destroy ourselves. Human is one and must learn to become the Keeper, guardians of all Life.

A DA NV DO sent word to Earth's children to see how good life was for all. Sadly what they found was that the gifts had been taken and the land was red with the essence of life blood and imbalance had begun. Sickness and death had come.

A Great Council was held. There came from the Mystery, Compassion and Tolerance. We were given Grace, three more worlds to balance and hold to the Principles.

In the Fifth World of separation, we saw and felt the pain of our deeds. We no longer knew virtue and beauty. We roamed far and distant lands, weary and burdened with our aggressions and sufferings. We cried out into the Void and asked why do we feel empty and lost. The Wind Spirits' songs rekindled our quest for "knowing" and we began to seek, to remember and to awaken our true being.

Today as we enter the Sixth World, we are haunted by Ancient days and times of inner peace and joy that walks through our thoughts when we are quiet and when we are hungry for understanding of what our life is all about. We aspire to lofty and yet deep feelings of spiritual awareness.

We say, "I want to scream out my excitement when the powerful waves of the great Atlantic over take me and pull me into her Being. I see her Joy and I feel her calling as eager as I to be one again. I allow myself to emerge and encompass her vast body. We are One.

I want to sleep upon her sandy shores and hear the roar of her waves as I journey in the Dream Lodge with my precious Elder, and she takes me to still quiet waters. We canoe down the Silver River in shimmering light as the Moon calls our spirits deeper from the other side.

Oh Beloved Olema, Mother of my Spirit take me to the depth of my knowing and let me stay forever in your light of beauty and joy, so I too can be of the Sacred sweet smoke of Yunsai's Pipe. And Old Ones come purify me until I can see clearly from my heart in the Stone Elders' Lodge.

I lay with my back on the Mother's skin and watch the Clouds take faces and forms of Sacred messages and feel the vastness of Great Spirit's Love for us all. I become the Clouds and spread all around my beautiful Earth Mother. How wondrous she is in all her blues, purples, reds, oranges, and colors that make you drunk from their pleasures.

I am the Wind now, and I blow across her surface and move rapidly in all the Directions - My power soars as the Eagle's Wings, yet I am as small as the grain of sand on her beaches. I am warmed by the Sun light and carry Nunda's warmth to meadows and mountains to draw forth the tall grasses and flowers. I play among the busy buzzing of fly and bee. I catch a leaf before it touches the ground and keep it air born until it is exhausted from the delight of my play. A feather from the seagull catches my attention and I quickly lift it up and float it along until I hear The People praying and I let it gently fall to the land to assure them, all was heard and all is Love.

They fan their Sacred Smoke to me by Feathered Fan until the blessing has been completed.

Ahhh. . . Great Spirit is pleased by the fragrance of sweet grasses, tangy sage and pungent cedar tips. All feels the response in these moments of Love and Harmony, and it moves as rainbow colors in the sky of clear blue and the Sun's light.

I am the Rainbow and know the realization of birth to total enlightenment. When the Sun catches a rain drop and reflects upon its source, I am that Promise . . . I Am That I Am. . . I am here but not.

I have come this far simply by the childlike lay and pure innocence of my Grandmother's faith in me. Relentless as the Wind on these shores, she comes to me again and again. . . calling me, singing to me.

Sometimes the wind goes deep beyond my layers and chills my bones and other times it touches me with gentle warmth, but always present and life giving. When I feel hopeless she goes deep, when I am full ofhope she giggles with me, when I stand tall she is beside me, when I feel greatness she is the Wind in my Wings and I can fly high to the Sky.

She is Sky, Earth, Stone, Water, Wind and Fire, she tells me it is mine to have just by inhaling and exhaling Sacred Wind.

I am Wind's Song, Sun's Child and Grandmother's laughter. I AM THAT I AM . . . ALWAYS!
