My Eyes As Taught By My Elders

I love to watch the sunset as it colors the beautiful waters as the sun sets to sleep for the night. Knowing the colors will never be the same ever again. To splash the colors upon a moment that too will never return. Is there ever anything that will remain the same for life? Think about that...... I believe there isn't. Everything changes! It never remains the same. My elders have taught me to understand what I see are visions told to me by those who know where I am in life, what is my life and if I use my elders words and all they taught me to listen to. I can see the years of the knowledge from my eyes by listening with my heart. For every living thing has a purpose in my life. They have been given to my world for a reason that only I should know what they could be. But with out my elders I would have been blind of all that's there, being offered to me. I am Whipperwill and my heart forever dances in the flames of a dream that has no end.

By Keith Urban...... Only You Can Love Me This Way"....... Find on Youtube

Well, I know there's a reason. And I know there's a rhyme. We were meant to be together. We can roll with punches. We can stroll hand in hand. And when I say it's forever You understand. That you're always in my heart. You're always on my mind. And when it all becomes too much. You're never far behind. And there's no one that comes close to you. Could ever take your place. 'Cause only you can love me this way. I could have turned a different corner. I could've gone another place. But I had never had this feeling that I feel today. Yeah And you're always in my heart. You're always on my mind. When it all becomes too much, you're never far behind. And there's no one that comes close to you. Could ever take your place. ;Cause only you can love me this way. Somebody loves you And you are always in my heart. You're always in my heart. You're always on my mind. And wen it all becomes too much, You're never far behind. And there's no one that comes close to you. Could ever take your place. 'Cause only you can love me this way. Only you can love me this way.

Song By Eric Paslay......... "She Don't Love You, She's Just Lonely"........ find it on Youtube

She don't love you, she's just lonely. She wasn't once upon a time. She use to dance when the band played. She use to be the trustin' kind. She's no stranger to the leaving. She's heard all the best goodbyes. Fallin' has a different meaning. To her you're just another guy. She don't love you she's just lonely. She don't know another way to break free from what's been broken. Too many cowboys rode away. So forgive her if she's distant. She can't tell her heart to lie. No you'll never be her one and only. She don't love you she's just lonely. You can hold her in the moonlight. You can give all the stars. You can promise her forever. But you'll never have her heart. She don't love you she's just lonely. She don't know another way, oh to break free from what's been broken. Too many cowboys rode away. So forgive her if she's distant. She can't tell her heart to lie. No you'll never be her one and only. She don't love you she's just lonely. She don't love you. She don't love you she's just lonely. She wasn't once apon a time. I remember her in sunlight. I REMEMBER HER WHEN SHE WAS MINE...... mine

Walk To The Edge Of Time

As I walk to the edge of time, I look past all the wants my heart craves for. Knowing all to well that the flames from a fire in my dreams will keep me warm. All the cold from the winter will fall around me. Loving what the fog lays on the branches making the coldness into amazing beauty. The closer I get to the edge the more my heart desires. It will all come with time in a dream...... tell me it is so. With the wind tossing my hair into my face I brush away a tear that lays on my cheek for the hope that lays heavy on my heart. Life will be beautiful once dreams are fulfilled. So I have been told. Now I look back and my fire is still a blazed with amber's glowing brightly. As long as I continue to feed the fire of my dreams they will never disappear. As I place my hands to shade my face to look ahead to visualize what path my feet may wander upon...... a smile comes to my lips as I know it will be amazing and the best is yet to come. Today my dreams will be my future of my tomorrows. Life is amazing. I am Whipperwill and my heart forever dances in the heart of a dream that has no end.

My Shadow's Dance

My heart forever dances in the flames of a dream of the days so many, many years before when my life was in another. As I danced to the beats of the drums of my native tongue. My shadows cast my movements upon my lodge that was shared by many. It is there where my true heart hears every spirit that comes to my flames. Gathering more wood to keep the flames burning to cast the shadows that are known only to me. But you are welcome to join me in your own flames you have collected. I have walked many paths to become the heart I have in my world today. To know that this is not where I belong but back then I was truely alive in myself. I crave to live in that life I once belonged but know that can never be. My world of then has flamed my dreams of today and laid upon my feet this path of going back to the days that find me casting my shadows as I listen with an open heart to the drumming of the message that lays in their sound. The night is beautiful and the shadows are mine to share in my flames. My lodge protects me as the tatanka that spirit lays within, it's remains forever engraved on my soul. So as I place more wood on my fire that burns within. Forever to hear the beat of the drums, casting my shadows as my Heart that Forever Dances in the Flames of a Dream that has no End. I am Whipperwill........ (Photo Provided By John Brecht...... my dear friend... Thank You!)

Standing Here On The Ledge of Life

As I stand here gazing out over the ledge. I am amazed of all that comes to view. Many years are passing by without slowing down. So to stand here looking at all that surrounds me I have realized all that has been in my life. Challenging myself through out all my years to do all that my heart wanted to do. And totally knowing there was nothing in this world that I couldn't do! And "that" I have proved many times over. My heart belongs on this mountain, for it is there that I was raised. There I know I am safe for the spirits there are my guides and my shelter. For they know me better than anyone. For there my heart has spoken to so many who have listened. I have danced among the winds that has brush the hair away from my eyes so I could see what laid inside my soul. I have walked many trails to get where I can sit here now on the ledge of this beautiful life and be proud of what I see when I turn back any pages of time and can smile for the things that I reached for and touched. And I do not speak of material things. As I lean back against this tree I close my eyes and I feel the warmth of it's heart. Yes, it is there..... just closing my eyes and listening with my heart so much I hear. Wondering as I listen to the wind. Bringing me the sound of the night fall approaching as it is reaching for the stars to show. As I listen I hear the spirit of the wolf and the bear and yes that of the snake to which is showing me of the many changes. Shown me I am good where I have placed my foot prints. They will forever be my guidiance. As I listen to the wind that brushed past my feet as I dare to have them place over the ledge so to look all around. I see it is alright to believe in everything my eyes lay upon and even that of our creator has place for my eyes only to see. My visions are my spiritual walk. With me are my elders who have taught my heart the passion that it has with in. Come sit here with me. You are more than welcome to see with your own heart the things that you have missed. Listen to everything speaking to you there is so much you can hear...... all you have to do is listen. I am Whipperwill and my heart forever dances in the flames of a dream that has no end.............. Photo By My Dear Friend John Brecht

What Native Tribe I Belong To Test

You belong in The Sioux Tribe! The Sioux are known for their distinguished, attractive appearances and their powwows, which consisted of dancing, singing, food and a guaranteed good time. They were quite ahead of the curb when it came to their attire, typically adorning their animal skin clothing articles with bead-art, shells, animal teeth and claws. The Sioux culture and religion mainly centered itself around one creator of all living things and the concept that everything has a spirit. They revolved their year around 7 spiritual ceremonies; The Keeping of the Soul, Rite of Purification, Vision Quests, the Sun Dance, Making Relatives, Preparation of Womanhood, and Throwing of the Ball. If we've determined that you belong in The Sioux Tribe, you must be one stylish person who isn't afraid to set trends. You like to experiment with colors and accessories, and you may even like to step out of your comfort zone and try something new once in a while. But that ideology doesn't just apply to fashion; it also applies to how you see everyday life. Spirituality and your internal self should be celebrated with laughter and friends in a comfortable surrounding, and we're sure you agree with us- which is why you would make a great contribution to The Sioux Tribe

Inspiried By My Close Friend and Brother John Brecht's Beautiful Photo

MY NEWEST WRITING...... As I slowly open my eyes, my visions become my path to walk in this moment. Mystic fog setting in to join me on my journey. I love to walk in all that Grandfather lays around me as I wander along touching what Mother has shown and gives me in my pathway. Sitting near the water upon a rock I notice the dampness to feel fresh upon my bare skin. Season is about to change not only in this beautiful place but also within the heart. Wild life approaching the waters knowing the fog sheilds them from me.... so they think. Breath taking beauty all around my soul this very moment. For me fog is amazng and beautiful. Beautiful things appear and disappear without even blinking an eye. As I close my eyes I reach upward to our Grandfather with many blessing on my heart he gives me without hesitation. Someone has sent me elders as I close my eyes but not my heart, to show me of changes that walk with me on my paths. I wish for the sun to stay hidden a while longer so this beautiful peaceful heart may stay here in the fog that lays upon this amazing place I have wandered to. If you listen with your heart of where I am in this moment you too can close your eyes and find a peace within your soul that I send to you. There is so much love in my heart and soul and so much to give in every living thing including this rock I sit on. Some people are so busy with life that they never notice the truth of what is really in the beauty of every natural being including a rock. I love the shadows that fade into the mystic fog, I find them peaceful. Listen.... shhhh..... quietly.... hear something walking near by the waters edge. Water ripples into widen rings. I find myself the one who's made the ripples as I slowly walk into the cold water to enjoy my way of my heart staying young forever. I love river waters and as I lay upon my bodyinto the waters and just float along in the fog long enough to open my eyes and see the wild life looks over me as to them being the ones to keep me safe. I will return when the sun has warmed the day and fades my beautiful fog away. I am Whipperwill and my heart forever dances in the flames of a dream that has no end.
