"You and I haven't talked" the Elder said, "can you tell me a few things about yourself?"

"What can I say" I replied " you know what you see in me. I don't have anything more to say about me. I'm just me."

"How simply you say that" the Elder said with a smile.

"It wasn't always that simple," I said. "there were years upon years I had an image of my 'self' but for the past eight years I have been in the 'medicine lodge' with three years apprenticeship in the 'circle'. I don't know what I am, I don't know who I am, but I know that I am.

 "You have me at a disadvantage Sir," I said to the elder, "I've met a lot of  personages, but I am off center and awkward feeling in this place. Yet until I tried to speak or think, I felt a deep abiding Peace and oneness here. Uh, I don't know what to say." 

"Then say nothing. I just wanted to make you feel at home. Remember what you have experienced! Don't let anything scar those perceptions. Often when they touch the Creators energy,  people reduce the experience to words in order to remember this important event. A few can just store the lived experience as they encounter it. The later way can bring true wisdom and knowledge."

 Educating the invisible 

Until the invisible educates me 

Time is a gift

Don't waste it

As if you had forever

Don't be stupid

 

All the children in black portraying Doom,

prophesizing Gloom

Well you know we are in our Space

Going somewhere, some place

Don't appear to be in a Hurry to get there

What you see is fragmented people

doing fragmented things

May tell you that the world is insane 

Confused to the maximum

Don't let it tell you that

' that's all it is'

Cause we ain't liking that news

Stop yourself, don't be a fool

by patterning yourself after what men do
