Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." Diane Arbus My life seems to operate sideways~ backwards almost~ and I have come to see thats right for me. A rain of snakes,disruption that cause's growth ,the world split in two.Everyone has there own path,mine has been one of thought,mostly of things folks today seem to disregard. Truth, personal integrity,politeness,...not all eschew these things.For me its been the easiest way to be~ any other way leads me to more trouble..and a sense of humor,above all about myself. Laughter keeps a person sane,and I enjoy seeing the coyote in myself~ the eternal trickster

The WWBR~ a TED talk that Dovetails w/AppolloDawns Post
A TED talk featuring Wade Davis,a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence,who travels the globe to live alongside indigenous people, and document their cultural practices in books, photographs, and film.
Here he muses on the worldwide web of belief and ritual that makes us human. He shares breathtaking photos and stories of the Elder Brothers, a group of Sierra Nevada indians whose spiritual practice holds the world in balance. It will take 20 minutes of your day~ but is worth it.

That was really neat, Sage. This guy really makes me wish I had taken cultural anthropology in college instead of physical anthropology. And Machu Picchu--WOW! posted by

That is the same wish I had watching this~ what a fun job! I so love the idea of this group of The Elders praying everyday to keep the earth going~ even though they can not comprehend how we behave.
