Tuesday afternoon a storm passed through southern Cal. With it came a heavy down pour and power gusty winds. As suddenly as it started, the rain stopped, though the skies remained somewhat clear for the rest of the day. The next day, the blinding sun rose once again into the ever so blue sky and dried the landscape. When something in my environment can help me understand life, I think it's good. I think about the times when I'm tired of hiding my imperfections and putting on a happy face. I'm sure everyone gets to this point once in awhile. I think about the rain. It's such a good thing, nourishing, cleansing; but you know, it's messy too. I notice the downed power lines, the fallen trees, and the debris stuck in the gutters after a good rain. But at the same time, there's a freshness in the air,

Life is like this. Every so often I need to be purified. It's not always a clean process, but in the end I feel so much better. The process is different for everyone. I like to write and talk with friends and pray.

Tuesday I began the day with a headache, then the rain came. Wednesday I woke up happy and feeling new. Today I feel just as good. It's good, but what's important, is that I allowed myself to look ugly for a while, to let down my guard, to ask for help. Thank You to My Creator!

I was sitting in a bus station eating a ice cream cone and heard a voice in my head asking me to pick four of my relatives that I wanted to be with always. I thought for a few seconds and wrote down the earth, the sun, the water, and the sky. I didn't ask why, I just knew these were my closest relatives. I boarded the bus and went to sleep. When I awoke I was in a big field next to a river and a forest. I didn't ask why, I just stood up and started to walk along the river bank. I wondered if I was alone here. I came upon a valley with a field of purple flowers, and I saw someone siting in the middle of the field. She told me that's what she picked and this is where she ended up. Neither of us asked why, we just started walking. As we walked we came across more people and we all walked together. On top of a ridge we saw three more figures walking and I called out to them. As we approached each other I knew who they were. It was Kyle, Kendra, and Karly,my kids. We hugged each other for long time for it was a long while since I have seen them. I didn't ask how they ended up here, because I already knew. While we were walking my daughter told about the voice and which relatives she, Kyle, and Karly had picked. They told me how happy they were with the stories and songs I had taught them. I was happy they had listened. They told about the Faith they had in our Creator. As we all walked, there was a big crowd of us now, each person pointed out the the different relatives they had picked as they ran through the forest, flew over head, swam under the water, and burrowed into the earth. Everyone was pleased and excited with what they saw. Slowly everyone went there own way and my kids asked why there Mom wasn't there. I told them that she must have picked her late father as one of the relatives. I tried to explain how much she missed her father and how much see wished to him again. She went to the spirit world to see him, but you can only stay if your invited to. Don't worry about her she will find her way once she leaves her father. I told them how there Mom believed in the same choices we made, and that's why they were born. I know they didn't completely understand, but they didn't ask why. Faith, Hope, and Love for our Creator is what got us here, that's all we need to know right now, the rest will come to us in His time. Karly shouted out MOM! the three of them turned to me and smiled.......

I woke up with the feeling of a wheel turning inside me. I was happy to greet this day. HELLO to all my Relations.

This morning I woke up with a headache. My eyes tend to strain when I"m working on the computer and this strain causes my head to malfunction and presto a headache. Definition: A headache is a pain or discomfort in the head, scalp ,or neck. Serious causes of headaches are extremely rare.Most poeple with headaches can feel much better by making lifestyle changes, learning ways to relax, and occasionally by taking medications.I agree with all, but Iwon't take medication (such as asprin). Synthetic medication always have some side affect the scientists don't tell you about. I trust my bodies immune system or I deal with the pain. If there's pain I know I'm still alive. No pain means that I'm dead or someone else is in control of my life. If I need a doctor then I'll see a doctor, but I try to avoid the doctors. It's taken me all morning to get into thinking and out of the aching. Maybe I need to change the prescription on my glasses. Any suggestions?

Balance We need it. Between life and love. Man and God. Man and woman. Work and play. From the most crucial to the exceedingly simple, we must srtike a balance. With out it we will fall (fail). We will shout out to the ever immense blue sky, "What has happened?" Almost nothing works without compromise, and if we cannot see both sides of an issue, cannot put ourselves in the footsteps of others, this cry will become our song of life. Balance will keep you sane, while too much of anything leads to the rooms of ruin.Too much love, too much money, too much work, too much stress, too many needs, too many wants. All of this leads to those rooms of ruin. Balance will keep you standing in face of disease, hardships and evils you thought you left in the boogeyman's closet. That apparition may still be there, but know that you can fight. On the bike, running a trail, standing next to death, the key is (and always is) Balance.

I lived about a mile form this balanced rock, and when I would jog past it I would think of what I could do to bring my life into balance. Trial and error is what teaches me. I've wasted more time than I care to remember, but I keep pushing on to accept and embrace this balance. I think it's good, all good.

Greetings:
A spider just like this one, was crawling on my leg. It started to bite me and suck the blood from my veins.
The back part of the spider grew as it filled it self up. When it stopped the front legs would wiggle around and my skin would look like it had never been touched. I watched as it continued working it's way up my leg, biting me along the way. As it came closer to my 'you know what' I panicked and shook it off my leg. The spider disappeared and a lady I once knew and forgotten about appeared out of nowhere. She laid next me and talked about a ham and turkey sandwich I shared with her. Just then a guy came out of nowhere and was calling for her. I thought to myself , 'where the heck are these people coming from'. I blinked and there was a bar-b-cue going and I was by myself next to a TV learning how to do sign language. I was signing the word RAIN ......

I was awakened by my neighbors sprinkler turning on and the sound of the water hitting patio awning. I sat for a few seconds to reflect on what just went on in my subconscious state. All I could think of was, that I ate too much tacos, taquitos, and guacamole last night. Hummm.

Blue Gap Junction

by Kevin McMahon

Cool summer rain came early.

All the fields are bright with flowers.

This reservation road goes on and on.

I came upon an old man. In one hand he held a dollar.

All the lines in face were long and drawn.

He said, I'll gladly pay you for a ride to Blue Gap Junction.

There's a trading post where my grandson waits for me.

I could not help but wonder if his life was pure and simple;

when he smiled, I knew that it must be.

Red rocks stand so beautiful and proud.

Blue skies are filled with pictures in the clouds.

I felt just then there was someone watching

looking down.

The old man shook my hand as we arrived at Blue Gap Junction.

He thanked me in his native tongue, then turned to walked away.

I handed him his dollar to put back in his pocket.

We might meet out on the road again someday!

This poem reminds me of my late Grandfather and his 'pure and simple' life. He said, "This life today is hard and difficult to live. The simplest things in life are the easiest to neglect. It's difficult to gain and hold on to knowledge of this day. We neglect the simple elements that keep us alive. Take a little time in the day to say 'Hello' to these things. You might not know it but these things greet you in the morning when you go outside to start your day. It's only polite to greet them in return. This act of kindness will help make it easier to acquire the knowledge you might need to follow the road to a good and happy life. 'Hoz'ho-na-sha' means Walk in Beauty in Navajo. Everything above, below, and around you are your relatives.To Walk in Beauty is to know and to acknowledge them as they do you. It's not hard if you let it happen."

This is what I was thinking about this morning on my way to class and I wanted to share it with anyone. Have a Good Day.

This is the way I want all of my days to finish. Today I'll have to settle for my imaginary sunset. It's almost as good.
Let It Be,
