The Speaking Voice

Poems, Prayers, Thoughts, and Stories

I have walked many different paths, in several different countries, with many different people that I called friends and loves. Several times I became lost to my direction, and I had doubts in the Omnipresent Sacred Spirit, God, Allah, and hundreds of different names throughout time and even now. I have seen valleys of depression filled in by the crumbling mountains of stress, and I have seen crooked paths straightened, changing peoples lives. I knew these changes because I lived with and passed through the valleys, mountains, and crooked paths. This book has poems, thoughts, and a story or two that I have been writing for many years as I recorded what I have seen, what I had dreamed, and what my imagination gave to me. My Faith, my Hope, my Prayers, and my Imagination, are what I hope may help someone else in reading and enjoying these scribed experiences. Poetry, prayers, and imagination are at times hard to understand without the experience from which they came. It is a gift, and a work of love to all of The Great Spirits People. Mitakuye Oyasin!
